 Number Plate Recognition Systems used in AdvertisingYou may be familiar with Automatic Number Plate Recognition, or ANPR, technology. You may also be aware of its main use: acting as a tool to read license plates. The most familiar examples of this occurring are when an ANPR program monitors static cameras or is used in mobile devices by police officers. These license plates are then compared to a database of insured and uninsured cars, and if the car is found to be uninsured but still on the road, measures are taken. The O Factor.

This has been backed up by car factories closing and showrooms finding it much harder to generate profits. This has remained true in the recent recession.
