MATRIX ANPR GLASSES The First Real-Time Automatic Number Plate Recognition App for EPSON MOVERIO BT-200 The latest development of the SEIKO-EPSON Corporation and the Birdorg Informatics Ltd is the revolutionary MATRIX ANPR GLASS, automatic number-plate recognition device. It is actually a unique combination of the EPSON Moverio BT-200 Glass platform and our MATRIX ANPR software. You just need to have a single glance at the registration plate of a car, and the device tells you what you may wish to know about that particular vehicle in the given situation. The Moverio BT-200 Glass is an eyeglass-shaped computer. The computer itself, a camera, a microphone, a loudspeaker, the accumulator and a touch-pad, and special display are actually housed into the glass. The device has also an USB connector, which can be used for battery charging and for computer connection. Beside these visible features, the glass also supports Wifi and BLUETOOTH connectivity. With this attractive feature set, this small-size platform can support many sophisticated applications. Our MATRIX ANPR GLASS automatic number plate recognition program runs also on the android OS of this computer. Depending on its usage our application can co-operate with a smartphone, or if necessary, operates a BLUETOOTH printer as well. A policeman patrolling on the streets can learn with a single glance the make, model and colour of the car for which the number plate has been officially registered. Should the data automatically retrieved from a database not match what he or she actually sees, an illegal number plate replacement must have performed on the vehicle. The patrol can also learn if the car has a valid registration certificate and insurance, or not. Another frequent use is checking the parking authorization in parking lots. The procedure is just as straightforward as it is in the previous example. The parking attendant walks around in the parking lot and with his or her “glance” simply scans the number plates of the cars. The ANPR GLASS at every glance immediately retrieves the admission rights of the car form the data base of the owner of the parking lot. If the car has a free admission, there is nothing to do and he or she simply steps to the next car. If the system finds that the car has no free admission, the attendant with a simple voice instruction can print out a parking ticket, or even fine bill on a small Bluetooth printer attached to his or her belt. Our ANPR GLASS automatic number plate recognition program runs on the android OS of the glass. Depending on its usage it can co-operate with a smartphone, or if necessary operates a BLUETOOTH printer and others. The smartphone can be used locally for manual data entry, or for larger size visual presentation. It can also be used for accessing data bases on remote servers. In this case the smartphone can operate as a router, a hot-spot, or a smart communication device. To sum it up, this first-in-the-world Android ANPR system gives police and civil guard a unique opportunity to check a massive number of vehicles in a couple of minutes with outstanding easiness and comfort.
