The SharpOS software running on Sharp camera units includes an embedded machine learning automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) engine.
AutoVu MLC™
AutoVu MLC™ (Machine Learning Core) replaces traditional rule-based ALPR technology with machine learning-based algorithms in the detection of license plates and the filtering of misreads and false positives. It is a proprietary technology of Genetec Inc. used in AutoVu™ Sharp hardware for license plate recognition.
As AutoVu MLC™ continues to develop, we will apply it to more aspects of the ALPR process. You will be able to take advantage of these improvements with future SharpOS releases.
For more information on AutoVu MLC™, see the AutoVu MLC™ Product note.
