VEHICLE AND CONTAINER NUMBER RECOGNITION SYSTEM

Judges' Comments
Submitted by: Asia Vision Technology Limited
The VECON system rapidly and accurately recognises printed characters on moving and stationary cargo containers and vehicles under adverse conditions.

An original development based on a Hong Kong University of Science and Technology research project, VECON allows for loose constraints on lighting, viewing angle and position, image resolution and a variety of uncontrollable noise patterns. It exploits innovative insights into the properties of characters in a complex scene image and uses specifically selected computer vision techniques

VECON technology can be used in other transport applications, as well as in the financial services and manufacturing industries.
