The example below shows how easy it is to use INTRADA ALPR and thus how easy it is to add license plate recognition capabilities to your own software. Without using any knowledge of your specific system set-up, INTRADA ALPR already recognizes license plates with a high recognition rate. To obtain an even better performance, the example code can be extended gradually with more sophisticates Intrada routines. This enables you to tune the recognition engine for your specific system set-up.

The example consists of only two routines with no more than 60 lines of C code. The main() routine initializes Intrada ALPR, creates an IntradaSettings (an object containing system parameters), specifies the country Brazil, calls the routine RecognizeImage() for four images and finalizes the library. The routine RecognizeImage() loads the appropriate image and stores it in a newly created IntradaData. This object may contain all kind of information like image data and recognition results. The recognition results are added to the IntradaData by the IntradaRecognize call. Some of this information (registration number, confidence, and country) is then retrieved and printed to the screen. Finally the image and the IntradaData object are destroyed.
