Common characters (7.2.7.108) - for recognizing all the Latin characters of the plates (for example, relevant to such counties as Argentina, India, Africa and Singapore). The country recognition function is not used.

Common characters – quick (7.2.7.62) - for recognizing all the Latin characters of the plates in a rapid mode (for example, relevant to such counties as Argentina, India, Africa and Singapore). This value is a rapid variant of Common characters (7.2.7.108), but it is more sensitive to the quality of the image.

Info
titleImportant!

The settings of the search area border affect the number of lanes on the video for the VIT and URAGAN readers. The number of lanes is taken into account when purchasing licenses for URAGAN, not the number of channels (VIT takes into account the number of channels). Therefore, if a 2FAST license is purchased (2 lanes, fast), then for a large search area, only one recognition channel will be created (however, URAGAN wil detact two lanes). In this situation, you should make the search area smaller.
