Although Imagsa say this isn’t necessarily needed for ANPR, the camera works under any conditions and at this frame rate can accurately detect a vehicle ten times in three metres at speeds of up to 250 km/h, even in heavy rain or in direct sunlight. By using multi-exposure and changing exposure times to enhance the area of interest, accurate OCR images are obtained, giving a 99 per cent detection rate.
With appropriate software, Atalaya is suitable for a range of applications, including spot speed detection, point to point or average speed enforcement, access control, red light violation and vehicle classification for free flow tolling.
