"An Optical Character Recognition engine for Worldwide Container Number Extraction."

The Transport Data Systems Automatic Container Number Recognition (ACNR) System provides a quick and efficient method for obtaining a machine readable license number from a high resolution image of the front or rear of a vehicle. The ACNR is a standalone application that runs under the either the Linux or Windows operating systems.

In a typical operation the ACNR server processes the images from a specified input directory, performs the ACNR function, and places the resulting ASCII file with the container number in a specified output directory. The flexible design allows performance increases to be achieved through the addition of multiple servers, CPUs, et cetera.

The ACNR application can also be used in a real time system to provide image recognition (vehicleprint) for entry into a vehicle database. This is useful in situations where the vehicleprints of vehicles entering a parking lot must be immediately available for further processing upon vehicle exit.

The TDS Container Recognition System is an effective container number recognition solution catered for modern ports and terminal industries in the world. It automatically recognizes and records container ID numbers, chassis numbers and ISO codes of the containers, both fixed and being transported. It facilities and enhances effective management and operations at gate, yard, and loading and unloading zones for quay cranes and spreaders for modern ports and terminals.


The TDS Container Recognition System can optionally integrate with the TDS License Plate Recognition system for maximum access control and security management.
