Video camera mounting and setup requirements for the Carmen OCR

Sample Installation - Truck Lane

In the above image, a sample application can be seen for ACCR purposes. In many cases the container codes are damaged, therefore we suggest to capture multiple images from different sides of the container and handle them together as an image sequence. Three container cameras are recommended to reach the most precise reading results. To provide optimal conditions for taking an image, use two external white LED illuminator devices. With the help of an additional ANPR camera, the truck, carrying the container, can be identified.

To reduce consumption of the computer resources use external triggering to capture images only if the container code and the license plate are in a good position.
The inductive loop (other triggering possibilities: laser sensor, microwave sensor, magnetic sensor or infrared barrier) serves as a sensor, which indicates the arrival of the vehicle.
As the vehicle stops at the “STOP” sign, all cameras identify the container code and the license plate of the truck.
