More about multiuse of Metrici
The combination of License Plate Recognition (LPR), Line Counter, Area Counter, and custom object detection powered by neural networks has many powerful applications across various industries. Each of these technologies can work independently or be integrated to create more advanced, multi-functional systems. Below are some examples of how these tools can be used in street applications, business, production, and defense:
Metrici LPR
How and where to use it
Traffic Management:
LPR systems are widely used in cities for traffic control and law enforcement. Automated number plate recognition can identify vehicles on roads, track traffic flow, and enforce regulations like speed limits or congestion zones or parking areas monitoring.
Example: LPR cameras can automatically detect vehicles exceeding the speed limit and send alerts to traffic management systems or law enforcement.
Parking Enforcement:
LPR systems installed in parking lots, garages, or street parking areas ensure vehicles are parked within the designated time limits and registered vehicles are authorized to park.
Example: A city’s parking enforcement system can automatically issue fines for vehicles that have overstayed their parking time by scanning license plates.
Toll Collection:
In highway toll systems, LPR can automate toll collection by recognizing license plates of passing vehicles and matching them to a toll database.
Example: At a toll booth, vehicles are scanned and charged for the toll without requiring manual payment.
Security/Access Control:
Used at secure facilities, LPR can ensure that only authorized vehicles are allowed entry.
Example: An LPR camera at the entrance of a gated community or industrial facility verifies the vehicle’s license plate before opening the gate.
Line Counter
People Counting in Retail or Events:
Line counters can be installed at entrances and exits to count the number of people entering or leaving a store or event.
Example: In a shopping mall, line counters at each entrance track customer flow, helping managers adjust staffing levels or monitor occupancy for safety regulations.
Traffic Flow Monitoring:
Line counter engines can monitor vehicle traffic across roads, intersections, or toll booths.
Example: A line counter at a busy intersection counts the number of vehicles passing through and helps manage traffic signals based on real-time flow data.
Queue Management in Banks or Airports:
Line counter can monitor customer lines to optimize service delivery.
Example: At an airport check-in counter, line counters can track the number of passengers in line and notify staff when queues exceed a certain threshold..
Area Counter
Retail Analytics:
Metrici Area Counter can be used in stores to track how many people enter different areas within a store, optimizing product placement and store layout.
Example: A retail store uses an area counter to track the number of customers in each section (electronics, clothing, etc.) and adjust sales staff allocation accordingly.
Production Line Monitoring:
Area Counter can monitor different sections of a factory floor, counting parts, products, or personnel in a specific area to ensure smooth production flow.
Example: In a car manufacturing plant, area counters track the number of parts moving through each stage of the assembly line to ensure accurate inventory control and quality.
Security and Surveillance:
Area Counter can monitor different sections of a factory floor, counting parts, products, or personnel in a specific area to ensure smooth production flow.
Example: In a car manufacturing plant, area counters track the number of parts moving through each stage of the assembly line to ensure accurate inventory control and quality.
Custom Object Detection (Using Neural Networks)
Object Recognition in Video Streams:
Neural networks trained for object recognition can be used to identify specific items in video footage, such as distinguishing between cars, pedestrians, and cyclists in a traffic environment.
Example: In a smart city, Metrici neural network processes live footage from street cameras to identify and track vehicles, while also distinguishing pedestrians crossing the street to help optimize traffic signal timing.
Defensive and Security Systems:
Object recognition can be employed for threat detection in security applications, like identifying unusual objects or actions in surveillance footage.
Example: In a defense setting, neural networks analyze video feeds to detect suspicious items like unattended bags or vehicles in a no-parking zone near a sensitive facility.
Retail and Inventory Management:
Neural networks can help identify products on store shelves, count them, or track the movement of goods for stocktaking.
Example: In a supermarket, a neural network trained to recognize specific products (like a bottle of soda) can count the number of items left on the shelf and update the inventory system.
Combining Multiple Systems for Enhanced Detection
Smart Traffic Enforcement:
LPR, Line Counter, and Object Recognition technologies can be combined for comprehensive traffic enforcement. For example, an LPR system detects a vehicle’s license plate, while a Line Counter tracks its entry into a no-entry zone, and PPD detects an illegally parked car.
Example: In a city’s downtown area, LPR captures license plates of vehicles entering restricted zones. The Area Counter verifies how many cars are in the restricted zone. If a vehicle is detected as overstaying, the system triggers an alert and issues a fine.
Smart City Parking Solutions:
LPR system combined with Area Counter and car recognition can optimize parking management. While LPR identifies parked cars, Area Counter monitors parking space availability.
Example: In a smart parking lot, LPR detects vehicles entering, Area Counter or PPD track the number of available spots and confirms that the vehicle is parked within the lines and not blocking other cars or double parked.
Automated Border or Perimeter Control:
In a defense or critical infrastructure setting, combining LPR with object detection and line counter provides layered security. For example, LPR scans incoming vehicles at a border checkpoint, line counters track personnel movement in restricted zones, and object detection identifies if unauthorized items (like weapons or explosives) are in the vehicle.
Example: At a military facility, LPR scans vehicles, line counters track personnel entering restricted areas, and object recognition detects any hidden weapons or dangerous objects in the vehicles.
Each of these systems—LPR, Line Counter, Area Counter, and custom object detection—can work independently or together to create powerful, automated detection and enforcement systems. From street applications such as traffic and parking management to business use cases in retail and production lines, and even in defense applications for security and perimeter control, these systems can improve efficiency, safety, and monitoring. The ability to integrate these tools, triggering one engine to activate another, enhances the overall capabilities of surveillance, enforcement, and operational management.
