Edge AI Computer for Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Thanks to the maturity of artificial intelligence and edge computing, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) has achieved faster and more accurate recognition. With a compact yet powerful edge AI system and an IP camera, the edge AI-based ANPR solution offers numerous benefits for traffic management, including law enforcement, parking lot charging, and traffic monitoring and analysis.

Challenges

The customer was looking for a compact edge AI computer powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ module for Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). The system should come with rich I/O interfaces and feature consistent computing capability in any circumstance. It also needs to be integrated with the number plate recognition software development kit from the customer; thus, flexible and fast customer support will be a great help.

Main Requirements

• NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™, 128-core NVIDIA Maxwell™ GPU
• At least one PoE and one GbE LAN 
• Powerful performance under any circumstances
• Supports the customer’s software
• Fast and flexible customer support

Solution

Axiomtek has proposed its AIE100-903-FL, an ultra-compact edge AI system, which is designed for intelligent edge AI applications, such as AI computing, edge computing, smart retail, smart city, and more. The system is based on the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano module, with 128-core NVIDIA Maxwell™ GPU. To easily install and deploy an IP camera, this user-friendly AI-enabled system is equipped with a 15W GbE PoE port for both power and video transmission. To enable operation under any circumstances, the operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +60°C. The storage includes an onboard 16GB eMMC and an M.2 Key B NVMe slot.
