Both the VNPR and the ANPR technology are the pieces of the latest technologies and now a day these technologies are used by several countries for tightening up the security system and protection of law and order in the country. Both the VNPR and the ANPR are used for security and surveillance systems and they are used by mainly the police departments of a country to track the number of various cars for taking the toll taxes, pay per use taxes, road taxes, parking fees and etc.
The full form of the VNPR is the Vista number plate recognition technology and the full form of the ANPR is the automatic number plate recognition technology. Both the vista number plate recognition technology and the automatic number plate recognition technology came into existence after the 70s decade and they became an instant hit with humanity. The reason is the VNPR technology and the ANPR technology is very effective and can be easily used by various surveillance departments and security departments for easy control of law and order.
The basic job of the ANPR technology is to read the image of the number plate of a car on the road. Hence, the name is being given as the automatic number plate recognition. Using the optical character reader technology, both the VNPR and the ANPR technology are used for reading the images of the number plates of various cars in order to facilitate the collection of the road taxes, toll taxes, parking fines and fines for breaking the traffic rules. Mainly the police departments of various countries use the ANPR technology in order to get a hold of the cars, which may seem to be stolen or might break the traffic rules.
In most of the cases, the ANPR technology and the VNPR often help the police department in getting easy access to stolen cars and hence now a day tracking of stolen cars have become very easy. By using the ANPR technology, the police can easily get access to the number plate of a car and then can take the image of the number plate. Infrared light rays are used to scan the number plates and then the images are being taken by the using the ANPR technology. Within a fraction of seconds, the images are compared with database of the police department thus getting easy access to the name, the social security details and the address of the person on whose name the number plate is actually registered to. Moreover, any fake number plates can also be detected using the number plate recognition technology.
The author is an expert of gadgets and the number plate recognition system and here the author tries to identify the situations in which the VNPR and the ANPR technology are used.
