The invention relates to an automatic
license plate
identification system at an urban checkpoint, which belongs to the field of monitoring and comprises a coil
assembly, a
vehicle detection module, a
license plate identification module, a front-end module and a network transmission module, wherein the coil
assembly is connected to the
vehicle detection module, and coils generate a pulse
signal when a vehicle passes through the urban checkpoint; the
vehicle detection module detects the coils and transmits the received pulse
signal to the
license plate identification module; the license plate identification module captures a
video image transmitted by the front-end module when the license plate identification module receives the pulse
signal, finishes the entire
video image processing process of the identification of a license plate, and uploads a
processing result by a network; the front-end module carries out synchronous
exposure, synchronous supplemental lighting and shooting on a camera under the control of a
vehicle identification module and transmits the
video image to the license plate identification module; and the network transmission module uploads the data of the license plate and the vehicle to a data centre. The
system integrates most of the functions in the candid identification of the license plate at the checkpoint by adopting
integrated design, reduces the
system maintenance difficulty caused by the complexity of the
system greatly, enhances the entire stability and reliability of the system, and lowers the maintenance cost of the system.
