Snapshots (explained)

The system uses snapshots to optimize the configuration automatically and to visualize the effect of the recognition settings as they are applied.

You need to provide at least one valid snapshot in order to complete the initial configuration of a camera.

As a guideline, capture snapshots of vehicles in the real physical surroundings and conditions, in which you want to be able to recognize license plates.

The list below illustrates examples of the situations that you should consider when you capture and select snapshots. Not all may be applicable to your surroundings.

Milestone recommends that you select minimum 5-10 snapshots that represent typical conditions of:

• The weather; for example, sunlight and rain

• The light; for example, daylight and nighttime

• Vehicle types; to define the top and bottom of the recognition area

• Position in the lane; to define the left and right of the recognition area

• Distance to the car; to define the area where LPR analyzes license plates
