4Sight Imaging has developed new vehicle monitoring technologies that could prevent future terror attacks by intercepting the trafficking of illegal arms across international borders and enabling faster identification of suspect vehicles.
The launch of 4Sight’s Veracity V2 will include – as world-firsts – new high-definition (HD) features for licence plate colour and country recognition to enable highly accurate monitoring and management of real-time data in scenarios ranging from counter terrorism and international law enforcement to commercial parking and private security.
The new features have been designed to overcome limitations in existing ANPR systems by maximising the amount of high-quality data captured at the point of reading the licence plate. The ability to gather more real-time information and correlate it with relevant registration data will significantly improve the effectiveness of any ANPR application. It will also be of benefit in situations where there is a need to identify or track down suspect vehicles based only on limited information from witness statements.
Building on Veracity’s ease-of-install, best-in-class accuracy and multi-lane operation, notable new features in Veracity V2 include vehicle colour; licence plate colour; country of registration; identity of the state, region or province where the vehicle is registered; and direction of travel – whether the vehicle is moving towards or away from the camera or is stationary. In different countries, different coloured plates can denote different classifications of vehicles and uses, for example, taxis, military, police, hire car, heavy goods vehicle and diplomatic transport.
