Imaging
Today’s ITS systems demand a wide range of imaging solutions from simple vehicle overview imaging to high resolution imaging suitable for USDOT optical character recognition. With over 15 years experience integrating imaging into ITS systems IRD has the experience and the products to meet the full range of those demands.
IRD's iSINC™ electronics will initiate the capture of vehicle images, correlate them with other vehicle information, and transmit the information for display and storage. Every iSINC™ electronics comes out of the box ready to integrate to the full range of imaging solutions and adding imaging to a new or existing system is both fast and cost effective.
Camera Systems
Sideview/Overview Imaging Systems
- Auto select between color images during the day and monochrome images at night.
- Infrared illumination to ensure a high quality image regardless of weather or lighting conditions.
License Plate Imaging System
Automated control of image exposure to ensure a high quality image regardless of weather or lighting conditions. Infrared illumination for effective license plate image capture in diverse weather and lighting conditions.USDOT Imaging System
Captures USDOT Numbers displayed anywhere on the side of a passing commercial motor vehicle. Captures images from both sides of the commercial motor vehicle simultaneously. Captures images under day and night lighting conditions, 24/7.Automatic Vehicle Identification
With the ever increasing traffic on today’s highways there is a constant challenge to maintain an effective inspection and screening program while allowing traffic to move in a safe and efficient manner. The key to this challenge is to automatically identify and target potential violators while allowing compliant vehicles to continue on their way.
The iSINC™ electronics will initiate automatic vehicle identification of vehicles, correlate the identification with other vehicle information, and transmit the information for display and storage. Whether the situation calls for optical character recognition (OCR) or radio frequency identification (RFID) the iSINC™ electronics has been designed to integrate these systems. The iSINC™ will interface with the following automatic vehicle identification systems:
License Plate Reader Systems (OCR)
- Scans each image and converts detected license plate into an ASCII text string containing the license plate and jurisdiction.
- Determines the confidence level for each license plate number decoded.
- Supports variants of the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine that are tailored/designed for a specific state or regional license plate population.
- Supports OCR updates to address changes in the state’s or province’s license plates over the life of the system

USDOT Reader Systems (OCR)
- Employs neural processing algorithms to scan each image and convert detected USDOT numbers into an ASCII text string representing the observed number.
- Determines the confidence for each USDOT decoded.
- Determines the decoded USDOT with the highest confidence for each vehicle.

Active Transponder and Passive RFID Systems
- Supports detection of CVISN compatible transponders.
- Supports signaling of CVISN compatible transponders.
