1. Introduction

 I-CUBE is pleased to introduce our digital license plate recognition or automatic number plate recognition system for BLOEM and would like to offer the following proposal from HIGH TECH SOLUTIONS, the world leader in OCR (optical character recognition). "Hi-Tech Solutions" is a System & Software development company that is engaged in various computer-engineering activities since 1992. Its main line of business is design and development of advanced image processing systems.   The company specializes in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems in harsh environments. The company uses Neural Network Technology and unique image-processing algorithms it has developed. The company supports its products by a range of hardware subsystems and software applications. 

The HIGH TECH SOLUTIONS vehicle surveillance solution is currently used in over 1000 sites worldwide, including over 30 local municipalities. This is a market leading ANPR solution providing reliable and quality images that interact with a central Back Office Facility (BOF).

 Despite many company’s claims, there are very few products working effectively within the South African complex license plate environment; it is important to check that full LOCAL references are given.  With more sites and systems installed in SA than all the competitors together, I-CUBE and HTSOL are the default leaders in South Africa.

 HIGH TECH SOLUTIONS has been manufacturing and developing Digital recording solutions for more than sixteen (16) years. Major activates include:

 - Image Processing product line: a family of OCR products have been developed for transportation and security applications ("SeeCar", "SeeContainer" product lines).

 -  Windows Software product line: The company has developed Windows-based software products, which also support its image processing products. (Additional Operating systems include Linux, WinCE and RtDOS for various products).

 - Hardware product line: The company develops and manufactures a series of subsystems that support its products.

I-CUBE (Integrated Intelligent Imaging) was appointed as the exclusive distributors for Hi-Tech Solutions, a system and software company that develops cutting edge optical character recognition (OCR) solutions by implementing the company's unique image processing software and hardware in a wide range of security and transportation applications. The technology is based on computer vision: the systems read the camera images and extract the identification data from the images. The recognition result is then logged together with the images. This is the main advantage of vision-based recognition: the records include both the image plus the extracted result ("Seeing is Believing").

I-CUBE has installed a few select ANPR solutions into the local market (including with SPOORNET, AVIS, Toll roads, vehicle logging and high security applications).

SPOORNET HEAD OFFICE 2 Lane LPR system for access control and logging at SPOORNET head office        R220 000.00      2004 

AVIS    6 site (multiple lanes per site) LPR for logging vehicles at JHB, DBN and Cape Town Airport’s and AVIS service areas.       R1,2 million            2002

 POTCH University. It is used for gate control and theft prevention. The license plate of the entering cars is recorded along with the driver face. This data is compared to the information at the exit and the guard can see that the person at the entrance to the University was different than the person driving the car out. The system also provides statistics and data logging, as well as an on-line surveillance of the gates.  After the installation of this system the number of thefts decreased sharply.

  SEE FILM is installed in a traffic police violations processing center in Pretoria, South Africa (in conjunction with Labat Traffic Solutions using the Startrap Intelligence violation data processing system). It is used to automate the process of handling the fine processing (a fast turnaround from film to fine). The application reads both the license plate off the frame - together with violation information.

 A sample violation is shown in the following photo. The frame, read from the film, includes the view of the car, the vehicle plate, and the violation information - which includes the date, location and speed, and is attached in the upper-right corner.

 Toll road system in South Africa. The license plate is read and used as a key to fetch the vehicle information from the toll database. The information is compared to a swipe card which is used by the driver. This integrated system reduces fraud and increases the toll income.  

The toll system is based on a multi-lane (SeeLane) system which reads and verifies the plate data and sends a message to the toll control application. This application uses the recognition information to obtain the vehicle data, which is matched to the swipe card information. The results are displayed to the operator and also sent to the control room for further processing of the frauds, and long-term data logging. 

This system is installed in hundreds of border crossing lanes around the border of a European Country, and performs automated monitoring of the vehicles and the persons entering or exiting the Country.            The plate number is read by the LPR system and verified by the operator. The passport data is also read (by another system) which also authenticates the document. A second camera stores the full view of the vehicle. This information is transmitted and stored on a central database. This database is later used to track all entries or exits to the Country, to track stolen cars and other purposes. The system also significantly improves the flow of the traffic at the crossing checkpoints. The entire crossing operation cycle time was reduced from several minutes to several seconds per vehicle.
