Reliable, flexible and versatile
Whether number plates, symbols or special fonts, the CARRIDA Software solution is a powerful OEM library that offers extremely reliable high-speed recognition. It can be easily integrated into a wide range of existing monitoring applications (support of C and C++ via API).
Robust in „real life“ environment
Our solution is not only unbeatable under laboratory conditions: Poor lighting conditions or constantly changing light irradiation are no problem for the CARRIDA software engine. Even damaged or bent license plates are still detected with an accuracy of more than 99 %.
On the spot or “to go”
The software is suitable for both stationay and mobile usage. Data transfer is possible via standard network protocol, so the CARRIDA engine can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Privacy compliant with hashing and MQTT
Anonymized data processing
A special feature of CARRIDA is the hashing procedure implemented in the software engine: Captured license plate strings are replaced immediately and directly on the edge device with a unique, non-reversible hash code. This ensures that the data is stored and processed completely anonymously. In addition, only small amounts of data need to be transmitted.
IoT networks for travel time measurement and traffic route surveys
With a network of such smart traffic sensors, travel time measurements and traffic route surveys can be performed for individual vehicles. Specifically for this, CARRIDA supports MQTT for publishing reading results and images. The protocol enables connection to other IoT devices and integration into smart city networks.
Comprehensive security features
To further improve data security, public key authentication for FTP actions and certificate-based authentication for HTTP data transfer are employed.
Deep Learning for perfect reading results and added functionalities
Latest AI technology
CARRIDA uses Deep Learning for Make and Model recognition and added functionalities. This means that the computer itself “learns” how to recognize a particular vehicle type. Therefore it is possible to run much more complex and thus more reliable recognitions. This was introduced with software version 4.3. Like all CARRIDA software, it is hardware- and manufacturer-independent.
CARRIDA Make and Model
Our Make and Model recognition offers even more security, but also additional functionality. In addition to the number plate, we are able to check whether the vehicle type matches the number plate. It is also possible to categorize vehicles whose number plates are not stored in the system itself. This allows intelligent traffic management systems and parking providers who do not know the majority of their customers to increase their efficiency enormously.
Take the lead with best in class LPR recognition and features!
Configuration and Compatibility
- No complicated and labour-intensive construction: The initial setup is done just within a few steps.
- Free image and video format selection: We support all common formats, whether from file or memory.
- Hardware independent: Integration of IP, USB, GigE cameras, but also analog camera models (via frame grabber).
License plate recognition
- Can be used worldwide: license plates from all countries of the world are recognized with high accuracy (>99 %).
- Also special formats: Our software easily identifies two-line license plates.
- No limit: No matter how many vehicles are in the picture: Every single one is recognized.
Safety and security
- Live streaming: The data is not only on the camera, but always exactly where you need it.
- Security compliance: Hashing procedure directly in the device, for completely anonymized data processing and transmission.
- Only for authorized persons: Access to the software is protected by software protection or Crypto-Dongle.
Technical details
- Typical reading accuracy: >99% (including damaged or bent license plates)
- Processing time: approx. 30ms (depending on platform)
- Quality parameters can be called up individually for each number plate and/or character read
- Advanced angle correction in two planes
- Use of special neuronal technology, which is constantly being developed

One engine, numerous applications
The core functionality of the CARRIDA Engine is to detect and read vehicle license plates and provide them as text strings to your application. This main function is similar to optical character recognition, but it is tuned and optimised to the special structure and syntax of license plates text.
At the same time, we are constantly adding new powerful functionalities that can be utilized either additionally or independently from the ANPR job:
- CARRIDA uses Deep Learning for Make and Model recognition and added functionalities.
- Vehicle classification
- License plate finder
- State recognition
- etc.

Technical details
The CARRIDA SDK runs on Intel x86 platforms with Windows and Linux, 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as on any ARM Linux / Android edge device (Cortex-A8 and above, NEON instruction set required). It uses the exactly same library and feature set for all devices as well as the same programming interface. This allows users to implement their software across different hardware with minimal effort for adaptation and implementation.
