Question 7: 

Please DOWNLOAD, UNZIP and RUN the

LPR SA DEMO (1 MB)

 SeeLane Demo

------------------------

Overview

--------

 The SeeLane demo is a functional version of the SeeLane product without the hardware (frame grabber, IO card) and the OCR DLL services.

 The purpose of this demo is to show the interface and the output  features of SeeLane. This is very useful for early integration.

 Demo Features: 

- Fully functional interface.

 - Supports an authorized vehicle database file.

 - Output the results via serial port.

 - Act as a DDE server and notifies clients of any incoming vehicles.

 - Accept recognition data from ini file 

The SeeLane Demo interface is identical to the full SeeLane version.

The differences are:

 - Images are loaded from a file instead of being captured from a

  frame grabber.

 - Vehicle codes are not identified. You will need the full version

  and a security plug to use the OCR features.

 Using SeeLane Demo

------------------

 Activate SeeLaneDemo.exe.

 The simulation is started automatically. To stop simulation, press F3.

 In the main screen, select one of the lane tabs (lane 1, lane 2, ...) and press F2 or select 'Simulate Sensor' from the 'File' menu to display an image on the screen. Each additional F2 will randomly select another image.

You can also press F3 to get a continuous simulation.

 The identified code, person name (from the database) and the time will be added to the list on the lower left part of the screen.

 To send the results via serial port, press F8 or select 'Settings' from the 'File' menu. The properties dialog will open - Select the Communication tab. Check the 'Enable' box and select the appropriate port.

Press 'Configure port' to show the Windows default port configuration dialog.

Press 'Ok' to continue. SeeLane will automatically send any identification results to the selected port. In case of errors an error message will appear in the 'General System Status' box.

3. Overview

-----------

 The demo player introduces the powerful capabilities of our SeeCar vehicle License Plate Recognition (LPR) software/system. It performs  true identification of the license plate in real time.

The player is capable of reading both bmp and jpg images of various  types (color, B&W, 8, 16, 24 & 32 bit per pixel). It performs autodetection of image subtype (grayscale, color, number of bits per pixel, etc.). The images are included in the same directory, and their properties are configured in the format.ini configuration file.

Note that in case you would like to check it on your own images, please  refer to the "Checking Your Own Pictures" section at the end of this document.

The player is best viewed under the 1024x768 display resolution. 

4. Running the player

---------------------

 4.1 Operation

 If the player comes compressed in a Zip file, first unzip the file into a subdirectory (using Winzip).

To execute the recognition demo, activate the Player.exe file.

The demo will automatically start to run: Vehicle plate images of  different formats and qualities are displayed and identified. The default run speed is medium, and you can change its speed or control its operation.

 The identified code is displayed at the bottom window. The file processed  by the player, and the time required to identify the image are shown in the  right window.

 4.2 Button control

    'Rewind'      - rewind the player to the first image

   'Back Single' - play back a single image

   'Pause'       - pause the player

   'Play'  - play the image

   'Play Single' - play a single image

   'Fast Forward'- fast forward the player to the last image

    'Speed slidebar'-sets the player run speed (see description below).

4.3 Properties dialog:

 4.3.1 General Tab:

  - Image Folder field - specifies the path to the images directory to read images from. It can be edited both manually and using "Browse..." button

 - Use Windows Current Dir checkbox - cancels the previous field and uses windows current directory instead (usually it's the directory in which the player resides if it was launched by windows explorer).

  - Bitmaps and Jpegs checkboxes - specify what types of images to read from the selected above directory

 4.3.2 Slide Show Tab:

  - Auto Start checkbox - specifies whether to start "playing" automatically upon  application start or properties change.

  - Random play checkbox - if this checkbox is selected the images are played in a

   random order instead of preserving the directory order of image files 

 - Speed slidebar - specifies the delay between two consequent images. This delay is added in addition to the recognition time in order to allow analysing the recognition results. Sliding to the left sets the fastest player run speed (no delay is added). However, at this setting the results will be hard to track. The slide is also duplicated on the main display.

    Notes: 1. Each of the 10 scale bars represent a 0.3 sec. delay between the  two consequent images. This allows setting the delay between 0

             (fast run) to 3 seconds (slow run).

           2. jpg images can be played quicker than bmp ones due to disk caching differences of these two picture types.

 4.3.3 Font/Colors tab:

  - Plate number font dialog - allows to choose a non-default font for

   recognition results.

  - Plate number color - allows to choose a non-default color for recognition

   results.

  - Shadow effect checkbox - allows to show a shadow for recognition results.

  5. System Requirements

---------------------- 

5.1 Minimum:

 PC 486 or higher with a minimum of 16MB RAM running Windows 98/NT/2000/Me.

Win 95 is not supported and might result in run-time errors.

 5.2 Optimum:

 We recommend a Pentium 3 550 or higher with 64MB RAM for optimum execution.

A stronger PC will result in faster recognition times, as indicated on the right side.

 6. Checking Your Own Pictures

-----------------------------

 a. Copy the following files to the folder that contains your own images :

    1.Player.exe (from the Player Folder).

   2.Format.ini (from the Player Folder).

 b. Images Dimensions should be the same format as specified in the format.ini

    file (e.g., 768*288). In case they do not fit the configuration settings,

    the player will issue a warning.

 c. If you use jpg images, we recommend to use a high quality compression (best

   is 100%) for better results.

You can also contact us to help you with the format.ini file based on your images.

FINAL QUESTION: 10 Today, please read the 2D FACIAL MANUAL, which you can download from the following link:

   I-Cube - Face recognition FID user manual.pdf

Terminology

IP Camera – INTERNET PROTOCOL CAMERA COMPARED TO USUAL CCTV CAMERA.  THE CCTV CAMERAS USE CABLES WHILE IP CAMERAS USE TCP/IP, A LAN CONNECTION LINK A PC.  IP CAMERAS OFTEN HAVE HIGHER RESOLUTION (SO CCTV IS 768 X 512 WHILE IP ATTACHED IS WELL OVER 2000 X 1000 PIXELS) 

OCX IS A TERM USED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT; IT IS SIMILAR TO A DLL / API WHERE YOU ARE GIVEN A SUB-SET OF PROGRAMME ITEMS WHICH THEN ALLOW YOU TO QUICKLY COME TO A SOFTWARE SOLUTION.

 OCR is Optical Character Recognition 

and HNET – HOLOGRAPHIC QUANTUM NEURAL TECHNOLOGY, THE KEY DIFFERENTIATOR BETWEEN OUR SOFTWARE AND EVERYONE ELSE.  IT ALLOWS THE SOFTWARE TO LEARN, REMEMBER AND UPDATE!

Q 1 - Please prepare a detailed quote, including a POWERPOINT presentation, system design, cost and full site requirements for the sale of a 2 lane LPR access control system.

Q 2 - Please prepare a detailed quote, including a POWERPOINT presentation, system design, cost and full site requirements for the sale of a single camera facial ID system.

Q 3 - Please find a folder on your CD called EXAM.  In this folder will be face and license plate images.  

Please add the facial images to your facial ID software under the names provided. Please ID the people who appear in the files called UNKNOWN 1, 2 & 3.

Please use the license plate recognition software to analyze the provided license plates and write down the total number of different TYPES of plates that were correctly read.  So NP123, ND 123 and NA123 would be 1 and 123GP and WOLF2 would be 2 types.
