Quercus shows SmartLPR camera at Intertraffic

Operate a car park in an international tourist spot? Do exotic licence plates from distant countries baffle your licence plate readers? Spain’s Quercus Technologies believes it has the answer.

The latest version of the company’s SmartLPR camera that watches the entrances and exits of car parks has been developed to recognise licence plates from an unlimited number of countries.

Previously, one of the cameras in, say, the Netherlands, could only be programmed to recognise a limited number of different nations’ licence plates – in the Netherlands’ case, typically those nations adjacent to it.

Now, the latest version of the camera, which contains Quercus-developed AI, can be ‘taught’ by Quercus to recognise any licence plate before it is installed by a user.

Improvements to the camera have also increased its reliability rate to new levels. Quercus says that it now quantifies faults in terms of incorrect licence numbers per thousand read, rather than one per 100, which had been the previous standard.

Another new product being shown at Intertraffic is the latest version of the company’s SC Indoor parking sensor. Each sensor can now watch six parking bays instead of four – again, with licence plate recognition – with enhanced picture quality to read licence numbers. It also operates only when it detects movement, rather than being ‘on’ permanently, thus reducing the amount of video storage required by the camera.
