Selecting the emitter-country of vehicles' LP numbers that are to be identified

The countries recognition functional is implemented in the Auto-Intellect software only for AUTO-Uragan, CARMEN-Auto, VIT and LPR IntelliVision modules.  

The list of supported countries for a recognition module is given in it's functionality description in the General description of the Auto-Intellect software section.

While setting the LPR channel with AUTO-Uragan/CARMEN-Auto/VIT/LPR IntelliVision active module it is necessary to specify the country to be able to identify the plates belonging to that country. This setting specifies the format of the license plates to be used in the recognition process.

 To select the country, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the LPR channel object representing the activated recognition module (see Activating the program module, used for identifying the plates section).
   

2. Select the country in the Country drop-down list (1).

   Important!

   The issuing country selected for the LPR IntelliVision module must correspond to the selected profile of country license plates (see Setting up the IntelliVision LPR module).

   The By default value is available for the LPR IntelliVision module. In this case it will be possible to recognize license plates of all supported countries, though the recognition quality may become worse.

   Note.

   If the CARMEN-Auto module is activated, two recognition engines are created by default while installing the Auto-Intellect software package: cmanpr-7.2.7.108: general and cmanpr-7.2.7.108: default.

   • the cmanpr-7.2.7.108: general recognition engine is used for recognizing all the Latin characters of the plates (for example, corresponding to countries such as Argentina, India, Africa and Singapore), although the country recognition function is not used.
   • the cmanpr-7.2.7.108: default  recognition engine contains the basic settings for the license plates recognition.

   To add additional recognition engines, download them from the AxxonSoft website and install them using the EngineManager utility. The procedure of installing the recognition engines using the EngineManager utility is described in the engine_install_windows.txt file located in the folder with corresponding recognition engine.

   The Hazard Identification Number Recognition Engine (ADR) can be added to the list of the countries as a separate "country". The added engine is named cmanpr- <version number>: latin_eadr in the list of countries. If it is selected as the country issuing the license plate, the recognition module will be able to identify the license plates of the states using the Latin alphabet, as well as the specialized license plates of vehicles carrying hazard goods, with detecting and recognizing the type of cargo being transported. The information about the transported cargo will be displayed by the Vehicle Tracer object (see The Vehicle Tracer interface module) in the list of vehicle parameters, and also sent in the event about the recognized number.

   Two-line license plates are supported in CARMEN-Auto module when the cmanpr-<version nunber> : arab recognizer is selected.

   In the Online monitor, the recognized Arabic license plate numbers are always displayed in two lines. The first line begins with the Arabic numbers, and then the Arabic letters are displayed. The second line, by default, begins with the Latin letters, then numbers. To display in the second line the Latin numbers first, and then the letters, it is necessary to set the VehiclePlateSearch.RightToLeft registry key value to 0 (for details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

   

   Important!

   There is a special utility for the VIT and AUTO-Uragan modules - see PatCgfr.exe utility for active patterns configuration or PresetEditor.exe utility for active patterns configuration of VIT module - using which it is possible to set patterns configurations. Each configuration defines what license patterns will be recognized by the camera. Using various configurations it is possible to set various recognition rules for various cameras.
   

   Note

   If the software module supports the two-line license plates recognition, then in order to display them in the Event Log in two lines, it is necessary to set the RemoveNewLine registry key value to 0 (for details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

3. Click the Apply button (2).

The country that issued the license plate is now selected.
