Why does XProtect recognize only fragments of a number plate?

Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced

Short answer

Obstructions and an insufficient partial-recognition time span can cause incomplete results.

Explanation

Extra waiting can improve completeness but delays output.

Things to check

  • Objects crossing the plate
  • Partial-read time span

What to do

Remove obstructions first. If needed, extend Time span for avoiding partial recognitions and measure the resulting delay.

ANPR Edge

Skip the dedicated ANPR camera. Read plates from the cameras you already have.

ANPR Edge is plate-recognition software that runs on a PC at your site and works with ordinary IP cameras, so plate reads no longer depend on one vendor's camera, NVR or firmware.

  • Works with standard IP cameras over RTSP
  • One license per location covers every camera
  • Runs on a Windows PC or Mac you own
