AUGUST 2008 Real-time ALARM of Vehicles by SMS Presented by Barry T. Fryer Dudley (MBA {IT}; MSc {Image Analysis} “..any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clark
Typical Enforcement Layout Current NEW: SMS (34665)
SMS: Search • See a suspicious car • Use a cell ph to send an SMS to 34665 with the license plate • Find out if the car is: • Stolen • Wanted • Registered • Not listed • Allowed Entry, ETC. • (Costs R2 per SMS)
How To Add a vehicle to the database • SMS the license plate to 34665 • FOR EXAMPLE: • Licence Query ND 12345 • Licence Stolen ND 12345 • Licence Hijack ND 12345 • Licence Monitor ND 12345 • Licence Stop ND12345 • (Costs R2 per SMS)
SMS: Database sharing • The database created is then available to be downloaded to any LPR system in operation • Database is updated in real time via SMS notifications sent in
Electronic Imaging Fundamentals • Acquire • Process • Identify • Analyze • Report 2 – Find Plate 1 - Capture 3 – OCR 4 – Alarm 5 – Report
LPR System Point A IP or Frame Grabber PC Station Camera/Illumination Units (Up to 6 per system) Included Hardware I/O Card +Terminal Block Power Supply for SCH Point B - X LPR Software + DLL+ Sample Client Program

RESULTS 3 DAY N3 TEST (ASD SITES): Vehicles tested : 63 955 Vehicles possibly stolen : 2 094 Usual caveats apply e.g. number plates may have been re-issued where the previous vehicle which had the registration was (and still is) stolen etc. Please treat this information as confidential and do not disclose to anyone except for the law enforcement agencies involved i.e. SAPS, RTRI, Metro. Please do not make this info available to recovery agents, businesses etc. We need to ensure that we do not breach our contract with the SAPS in this regard.
