Quantum3D COTS EVCS-1.0 Enables Appian Stinger Intelligent ANPR Camera to Support Deployed Automated License Number Plate Recognition with Wireless Connectivity for Extended-Environment Deployments
July 30, 2007 (Press Release) --
SAN JOSE, CA–JULY 30, 2007–Quantum3D®, Inc., a leading provider of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), open-architecture, realtime visual computing solutions, today announced that Appian® Technology, PLC, has selected Quantum3D’s Embedded Visual Computing Subsystem (EVCS™)-1.0 for use in the Appian Stinger Intelligent Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera. The recently announced Appian Stinger camera is capable of recognizing vehicle license plates in traffic and then reporting the results to traffic and police authorities using integrated wireless and wired communication technologies, including GPRS/GSM, 3G, IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.3.
“Appian selected the EVCS for the Stinger Program as a result of Quantum3D’s unrivalled capability in video capture and processing and deployed visual computing,” said Tom Keene, Appian’s commercial director. “Quantum3D’s track record, especially in the worldwide mission-critical military and defense markets, proved a key factor in our decision to select Quantum3D.”
“Appian is a recognized leader in ANPR and related machine-vision applications,” said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D president and co-founder. “The combination of Quantum3D embedded visual computing technology with Appian’s domain expertise and customer insights make for a very compelling ANPR solution. All of us at Quantum3D are pleased to be working with the Appian team to help create and deliver this industry-leading ANPR product.”
About the Appian Stinger Intelligent ANPR Camera
The Appian Stinger camera combines optical and sensor components from Appian’s high-performance Cobra camera with the new Quantum3D EVCS-1.0 to provide a scalable offering that enables Appian customers to select from a range of camera and infrared (IR) illumination options—including dual cameras and long-range illumination options—with unmatched flexibility. Stinger cameras are available with optical zoom, which means that Stinger installations may be optimized to suit differing license-plate and environmental conditions at ANPR capture points.
Stinger supports additional electronic sensors, devices and applications, including DSRC/RFID, speed and red-light detection devices—all connected to and controlled by Stinger. Stinger requires minimal installation and its discreet appearance has little impact on the environment, making it the ideal stand-alone ANPR surveillance system.
