NEW TECHNOLOGY Delivers More Actionable Data
Cutting-edge deep learning technology lets PlateSmart ARES capture even more vehicle data:
- Vehicle color
- Vehicle orientation
- Vehicle type
NEW TECHNOLOGY Enhances CPU Performance
Looking at the entire frame for a plate can tax the CPU. Users can specify exactly where in the frame PlateSmart ARES should look and when, minimizing strain on the CPU and enhancing performance.
- Frame regions
- Frame masks
- Motion triggers
Filters Through Graphics
| PlateSmart’s patented edge-finding tech consistently identifies the plate, even if surrounded by bumper stickers. |
|
Doesn't Require a Sweet Spot
| It doesn’t matter where in the frame the license plate appears. If the camera sees it, PlateSmart ARES can read it! |
|
Reads Through Dirt & Grime
| PlateSmart ARES doesn’t require reflective material, so it reads dirty license plates with ease. |
|
Reads Plates at Night Using Traditional IR Light or White Light
| PlateSmart ARES can work with IR light, but it’s not required. It can read plates at night using any modern white light source. |
|
Reads Stacked Characters
| Some plates feature characters stacked vertically. PlateSmart ARES can read them. |
|
Sees Specialty Plates
One of the challenges of conducting LPR in the U.S. is the variety of specialty plates. PlateSmart ARES is not tripped up by this. It can easily read specialty plates.
Can Read Temporary Tags
| PlateSmart ARES doesn’t require reflective material, so it can read temporary tags as easily as regular tags. |

CASE STUDY: PlateSmart ARES Helps Solve Major Crimes
On June 27, 2018, five men conspired to steal a strongbox full of cash from the three owners of a LaGrange, GA, store. Their plan failed and left one of the men dead. The LaGrange Police Department used PlateSmart LPR technology to find, arrest and prosecute the remaining perpetrators.
