License Plate Recognition (Lpr) Systems: Function, Performance, and Considerations for Law Enforcement Agencies.

摘要

In 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) funded the Sheriffs Association of Texas (SAT), as host to the Border Research Technology Center (BRTC), to conduct research, testing and evaluation in operational environments of license plate recognition systems for law enforcement under cooperative agreement no. 2006-IJ-CX-K016. (NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, and is dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues though science). Beginning in 2010, the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) Small, Rural, Tribal and Border Regional Center (SRTB-RC) took on continuing research in this area under cooperative agreement No. 2009IJCXK019 with the development of a self-contained deployable trailer that can be moved to high-traffic areas, allowing officers to continue patrols and still receive immediate information on vehicles of interest. As a follow-on to the research, SRTB-RC has produced this report, which provides an informative overview of the technology generally, including functionality, limitations and other considerations for law enforcement agencies contemplating purchase and deployment of this technology.
