A back-office system administration server application to maintain the database of captured license plate images, plate metadata, and alert list management. A plugin in server-based application to VideoXpert video management system.The system shall provide the user with a 30-day trial license.The system shall use perpetual licenses to allow uninterrupted operation.The OCR engine shall be licensed per camera.The back-office manager shall be based on the number of plate reads before First-In-First-Out (FIFO). 2.03 IP VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONSoftware system functions are based on using hardware that meets the minimum specifications. No performance guarantee is expressed or implied when the ALPR is run on hardware that does not meet the minimum specifications. The Automated License Plate Recognition system (ALPR) shall be a Microsoft Windows-based automated license plate recognition system and shall be capable of operating in a single-server configuration or in a multiple-server distributed system, performing the following functions:Allow users to define users and assign sets of permissions (known as roles) to each user.Detect license plates on vehicles, capture the license plate image, and recognize the characters on the license plate.Operate on a single server with both the OCR and the back-office management programs.Operate in a distributed architecture with multiple OCR servers and a single back-office management program.Distributed Client-Server configurations employing fixed and mobile camera applications. Auto synchronization of Black lists, White lists, authorizations and alerts from the primary to secondary systems, to create a fully unified system.The ALPR system shall include a browser-based viewer for standalone operation.The ALPR system shall include a plugin for seamless operation with Pelco’s VideoXpert OpsCenter for the viewing of all plates, environment cameras, and alerts.The ALPR system shall include an API for integration to other Video Management Systems (VMS) to permit the viewing of plates, environment cameras, and alerts.The ALPR system shall have a machine learning Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine.The ALPR OCR engine shall have the following capabilities:The OCR engine shall be able to operate with any standard IP camera, with either rolling shutter or global shutter.For parking and stop and go traffic, the OCR engine shall support low shutter speeds of 1/20 sec. For roadway applications the OCR engine shall support high shutter speeds of 1/1000 sec. The OCR engine shall be able to capture license plates from moving vehicles up to 150 MPH/250Kmph.The OCR engine shall be capable of single-, dual-, or multiple-lane plate detection and capture from a single camera. The OCR engine shall perform country-independent and US State-independent plate capturing without the need for additional databases or engines.The OCR engine shall support multiple character sets including Arabic, Chinese, Latin (English), Hebrew, Korean, and Thai.The OCR engine shall be able to capture up to eight (8) license plates per vehicle.The OCR engine shall compensate for plate harrier obscuring of the license plates.The OCR engine shall support continuous Free Flow or motion-based Trigger Mode plate capture.The OCR engine shall be able to reconstruct images of damaged/broken plates using fuzzy logic matching to increase read confidence and accuracy.The OCR engine shall be capable of dual camera support for license plate and driver image capture. The OCR engine shall be able to detect vehicles moving in two directions – simultaneously toward and away from the camera. The OCR engine shall be able to detect, capture, and recognize license plate characters from photo-reflective vehicle license plates during day, night, and dusk lighting conditions with the use of proper IR lighting.The OCR engine shall be able to capture rectangular and square plates with up to three lines of characters.The OCR engine shall be able to detect characters on license plates with any combination of dark-on-light, light-on-dark color schemes. The OCR engine shall have the ability to capture characters that are between 18 – 70 pixels on target of the field of view of the cameraThe OCR engine shall be capable of capturing characters with the following plate rotation angles to the camera:Pitch Rotation (X axis): +/- 350 MaxYaw Rotation (Y axis): +/- 400 MaxRoll Rotation (Z axis): +/- 350 MaxThe Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system shall include a back-office system administration manager program that shall store all captured plate images, plate character meta data, and vehicle driver images.The ALPR back-office manager shall use FIFO of all stored and captured metadata and images.The databases shall have an administrative function to permit the adjustment of data retention times to meet local ordinance requirements.The ALPR systems shall permit the use of at least two cameras for the same ID, with one for plate identification and one for an environment camera to capture the driver for positive identification or the surrounding area.The ALPR systems shall have a viewer to allow the operator to view the vehicle license plate and the environment camera, for positive driver or area identification matching the plate.The ALPR system shall use enhanced country/US state syntax grammar filters to increase local special character/design capture accuracy while allowing captures of all plates. The ALPR system shall have multiple user-defined polygon Region of Interest (ROI) zones to speed plate detection processing and eliminate repeated captures of parked vehicles. The ALPR system shall permit operator real-time searches of the plate database based on: Plate numberTime, DateCamera, ZoneCountryDirectionStatusCoordinatesAlarms The search engine shall support partial plate and wildcard character searches.The ALPR system shall contain a user-populated black list to identify license plates that are connected to persons of interest, and shall create system alerts when the license plate is identified.The user/operator shall have the ability to create an unlimited number of black lists and assign different colors to these lists.The ALPR system shall contain a user-populated white list to identify license plates that are connected to known plates (such as VIPs, executives, or authorized vehicles), and create system alerts when the license plates are identified.The user/operator shall have the ability to create an unlimited number of white lists and assign different colors to these lists.The ALPR system shall contain a user-populated authorized plate list to identify license plates that are authorized to enter or be in a virtual zone, and shall create an alert for any unauthorized vehicle entering or being in the zone.The ALPR system shall allow the operator/user to create multiple authorization zones.The ALPR system shall contain a user-populated unauthorized plate list to identify license plates that are not authorized to enter or be in a virtual zone, and to create an alert for any vehicle on the unauthorized list that enters or is already in the virtual zone.The ALPR system shall allow the operator/user to create multiple not-authorized zones.The ALPR system shall permit the creation of user-defined Over-time in Area schedules to define the length of time a vehicle is permitted in specified areas, and to generate an alert if the vehicle exceeds this time. The ALPR system shall permit the setting of a directional filter, and shall create an event if a vehicle is detected travelling the opposite direction (such as exiting an entrance or entering an exit).The ALPR system shall have the ability to send alerts to the Pelco VideoXpert VMS event monitor, to create events based on ALPR system generated alerts.The ALPR system shall have the ability to send alerts via e-mail.The ALPR system shall have the ability to send e-mails and text messages to multiple users via a third-party application.
