What is Optical Character Recognition?
OCR is an image processing technology used to identify vehicles
by their license plates or trains by their unique numbers. OCR is a
non-intrusive, computerised method of matching a License Plate /
Train number to a database of registration numbers.
Alternate names for OCR:
License plate recognition (LPR):
Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI)
Car Plate Recognition (CPR)
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Data transmission:
A wide range of communication links allow over 99.95% availability to automated
database update in real time. This is essential for the provision for a real time
solution. Medium to be used in conveying data
ESKOM Network – primary OR
Fixed line business ADSL
iBURST – secondary - only if primary fails
3G or HSDPA – only if both primary and secondary fail
An unlimited number of sites data can be transmitted to a
central server where the data is made available in real time.
If the data lines go down, up to 100 000 transactions can be
stored locally, until the central server is available.
DATA STORAGE

Solution: Neural networks
Operating in real time, are being
utilised extensively world wide.
I-CUBE uses NEURAL
NETWORKS to illustrate the
concept to identify and track
suspected vehicles and people.
The ability to automatically predict
and identify vehicles or people involved in
theft or wrongful unitization of resources
greatly empowers authority.

Training
Biometric templates are
continuously updated
through a process
referred to as "Training"
using facial images
captured during
enrollment operations
or during subsequent

Overview
Most important to determine the correct tonnage's by accurate bulk
densities and reliable volumetric surveys. I-Cube believe that such
monitoring should be done by an independent and unbiased agency, and
not be monitored by a party who might have a vested interest.
Automatic 3-dimensional Dynamic Measurements: 3DM
Contact-free measurement technique based on photogrammetric
principles: science of geometry, mathematics and physics that uses the
2-dimensional image of a 3 dimensional scene to reconstruct a reliable
and accurate model of the original 3D scene.
Custom-designed for repetitive and fully automatic measurement tasks.
The unique benefits of the 3DM Technology include 3D measurements of
moving objects or objects changing shape, fully automatic during operation
and provide permanent, digital, records of the objects.
Key strength of 3DM is versatility - Any size object can be measured, from a
range of a few metres to several kilometres away. with the results available
in seconds, almost in real-time.

Automatic Stockpile Monitoring
Close-Range Photogrammetry is an accurate, cost effective technique of
collecting measurements of real world objects and conditions directly from
high resolution IP cameras. Photogrammetry utilizes digital images to obtain
accurate measurements and geometric data of the image, in order to provide
spatial information for 3D measurement.
Benefits of close-range photogrammetry :
Increased accuracy;
 complete as-built information;
 reduced costs;
 Do not need to stop operations;
 Effective for small and large projects.
Suitable photography involves taking a
pair of convergent images of the same
scene from separate positions.
3DM is a set of specialised software tools
designed to extract accurate 3D spatial measurements
by analysing images taken with digital cameras.
