#anpr — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #anpr, aggregated by home.social.

  1. At present groups of neighbouring constabularies often share a Roads Policing Unit with various #ANPR capabilities - the local #Councils also have #ANPR schemes used for parking / bus lane enforcement, but these don't always share data and monitoring posts on car forums I've seen from serving #Police Officers they claim there's a lot of "red tape" to go through to get ANPR data, even within the RPU.

    Most of the time its just used to catch those without vehicle #insurance, the leadfooted and those who are suspected of #DUI (especially #drugs use and/or using their vehicle for #transport as part of a drugs dealing network)

  2. Even GB [1] with a significant amount of #ANPR cameras, centralised vehicle licensing department and common formats for registration marks does not seem to have or use this - not for lack of technology as companies like Cleartone in #Wales have been building systems which can do this for about 20 years.

    ANPR data is extensively used for gathering evidence for serious #crimes, and is gathered at things like car meets, raves etc but I suspect constabularies end up drowning in data and not being able to process it that quickly (or else I'd be hearing of a lot more folk being pulled up for things like undeclared mods..)

    Most ANPR schemes tend to be only on highways and big towns..

  7. It is pretty exciting - seeing #ANPR outside of malls, but so bloody weird for them to even invest in something like this when it's so clearly stated and reiterated that we're moving towards implementing #MLFF tolls nation-wide. They even had to create a whole new mobile app just for this test.

    This only tells me that they're not confident that MLFF would be deployed 'live' any time soon in this country, which is... totally plausible,
    OR these highway concessionaires are just too bloody rich and have too much money on their hands - which is the likeliest candidate. But meh, the answer's prolly both.

  14. Собираем ANPR-систему на Python: от YOLOv8 и кастомного OCR до INT8-квантизации

    Привет, Хабр! Распознавание автомобильных номеров (ANPR) — задача не новая. Существует множество коммерческих решений и open-source библиотек. Но что, если стандартные инструменты не не подходят? А что, если нам нужна система, которая будет молниеносно работать на обычном CPU, без дорогих видеокарт? Недавно я столкнулся именно с такой задачей. Вместо того чтобы просто "склеить" готовые решения, я решил пройти весь путь ML-инженера от начала до конца: от анализа данных до обучения кастомных SOTA-моделей и их финальной оптимизации. В этой статье я поделюсь всем процессом, кодом, результатами и проблемами, с которыми пришлось столкнуться.

  18. A great deal of #LLM and #AI is indeed hype and bullshit, but there's *many* basic #surveillance tasks (mostly pattern matching, and monitoring deviations from normal behaviour) that basic algorithms can very easily process quicker than humans, and feed their findings to humans for such purposes as #traffic #law enforcement - already #Australia and #UK are working together on "AI" enabled #CCTV cameras with #ANPR monitoring, that can detect not only #speeding but illegal use of #mobile phones and possible #DUI or defective vehicles (such as where the driver is having difficulty staying in correct lane)

  19. I'm both impressed and slightly unnerved with how quickly I got used to the extra power of the #VW #GolfGTI - within a week of getting it it felt to some extent like "an ordinary #car" from inside during normal driving (unless I put my foot down, when the performance becomes immediately obvious. I suspect this is also why it has the #Soundaktor with artificial engine noise..)

    I'm glad I only started #driving in #middleage - as I'm not so tempted to be leadfooted, being aware of the consequences, both #roadsafety related and the #law (#speedlimits are enforced strictly here with #ANPR #cameras, with #fines for more egregious offences proportional to income), but I can see how #carCulture encourages young lads to go faster than they should (sometimes with unfortunate results)

  20. #Drivers arriving and departing from #Glastonbury #Festival were subjected to #ANPR #surveillance from #AvonAndSomerset #Police and private motor #insurance companies checking for valid policies! 21 vehicles were seized for insurance offences. This is on top of whatever controls the old bill and other authorities were doing for DUI, taxi licensing etc (and it seems quite a lot of this happens around the Festival grounds nowadays!)

  21. Daft lad at the start, why the fuck keep a live #dashcam running when you are openly committing #driving offences? Interesting insight into the #ANPR and #surveillance capabilities of the #Police (looks like #Cleartone kit with the old skool DOS font overlay)
