Fake number plates to face real music in Hyd!

Hyderabad Police had finally come up with a solution to deal with the menace of Fake Number plates. There are numerous instances that some stolen vehicles ply with fake number plates. When those vehicles commit traffic violations or crimes, the original owners of those registration numbers face the music. With the menace increase, Hyderabad Police came up with a software which will detect such fake number plates.

This software Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) will have the access of the live feed of CCTV cameras. The software would pick up registration numbers of vehicles at every junction and match them. If the system recognises two vehicles at different junctions at the same time carrying the same registration number, the Police will be alerted and the vehicles will be seized.

The accuracy of this software is said to be around 90%. It is already being used in Delhi and Kerala for identification of fake registration numbers. Hyderabad Police are planning to implement it in the city in the next three months.
