The Evolution of ALPR Cameras

(Photo : Denny Müller on Unsplash) Inventors rarely create new ideas. In most cases, they simply combine existing ones to create a technology or concept that performs a new function. Automatic license plate recognition combines high-resolution digital photography and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) into what we now know as an ALPR camera. Of course, since the original development of the technology, there have been, and no doubt will continue to be, enhancements to make it even more useful and versatile.
