Arabic license plates recognized with our LPR cameras

License plate recognition is a useful way to monitor automatic access to parking facilities, and provide camera-based guidance systems that read the license plates of vehicles parked in every space. The Quercus Technologies license plate recognition software enables the recognition of Arabic license plates. The software can interpret the Arabic alphabet, and its reliability rate in Middle Eastern countries is constantly getting better. This means that countries of the region can benefit from the wide range of parking solutions that Quercus Technologies offers.

Quercus Technologies’ Research & Development team works every day to improve the company’s products and license plate recognition in every region and country in the world. This year, the team has worked to include updates and improvements in the countries of Kazakhstan and Oman and others, countries that share calligraphy and grammar, which could lead to failures when distinguishing between them.

This company believes in the importance of the customer and in providing product improvements and updates. This facilitates a constant adaptation for customers around the world, and by doing so, enhances the user experience.
