Practice-Oriented Performance

For fast, local license plate recognition in real-world integration scenarios.

CAR-READER®-DLE combines high recognition quality with fast processing times and flexible operating modes. For specific projects, performance can be evaluated using the project’s own image database and on the intended target hardware.

High recognition quality

The recognition algorithm is verified and maintained through extensive internal validation tests.

Short processing times

The runtime is optimized for local CPUs or GPUs and edge systems and does not require cloud or internet processing.

Multiple detection modes

Automated, international license plates, parking lot, and multiple license plate scenarios are available for various applications.

Verifiable project-by-project

Prospective customers can first evaluate the solution online and then test it using their own images, cameras, and targeting systems.

Note: Internal benchmark tests are intended for technical classification purposes and do not guarantee specific results in individual use. Actual performance depends on factors such as hardware, image quality, camera position, license plate format, and operating environment.

Why CAR-READER®-DLE

A production-oriented runtime instead of a closed standalone application.

CAR-READER-DLE adds license plate recognition to existing products and projects. Your system keeps the application logic while the runtime provides local recognition through a clearly defined API.

Local REST API

Language- and framework-independent integration into existing applications, portals, appliances and controllers.

Local processing and data control

Production image processing inside your own infrastructure, without mandatory cloud processing.

Parking and multi-plate mode

Recognize multiple visible plates in overview images, including small-plate tile scanning for distant vehicles.

Flexible target platforms

Customer packages for Windows, Linux x64 and Raspberry Pi or Linux ARM64.

API-first

Built for software teams: clear requests, clear responses.

The local API supports single-image analysis, batch processing, multi-plate recognition, health checks, runtime and license status, and support packages.

Use cases

For products and processes that need automated vehicle identification.

The runtime integrates into existing workflows without prescribing the surrounding application.

Parking & access

Parking facilities, barriers, allowlists, ticketless parking and controlled entry and exit.

Logistics & industry

Yard management, inbound logistics, plant traffic and automated documentation workflows.

Camera & edge

Local edge servers, Raspberry Pi, camera-adjacent systems, RTSP streams and ROI processing.

Platforms & OEM

Portals, fleet solutions, video analytics, appliances and proprietary commercial software products.

From evaluation to integration

A clear path to production deployment.

Quick answers

Common questions before an inquiry.

Can CAR-READER-DLE be tested first?

Yes. The online demo provides a quick test with your own images. A complete demo can cover production-oriented RTSP, ROI, batch and OEM scenarios.

How does integration work?

Through a local REST API. The runtime can be called from Delphi, C#, Java, Python, web applications and other systems.

Which platforms are supported?

Windows, Linux x64 and Linux ARM64 including Raspberry Pi. The concrete delivery is aligned with the project.

Commercial licensing

For production projects, integrators and OEM partners.

Licensing is aligned with the target platform, rollout, integration scope and required support.
