Teledyne Lumenera unveils its latest innovation

First published in ITS America Preview - May 30, 2019

Teledyne Lumenera will use the ITS America Annual Meeting to showcase its Ls245R traffic camera, an innovation that provides an advanced solution for automated traffic image analysis, with integrated self-triggering vehicle detection (VDET) and automated license plate recognition (ALPR). Built on the Teledyne Lumenera Ls Series Embedded Vision Platform, the Ls245R traffic camera is ideal for detecting vehicles on high-speed freeways and extracting license plate information.

This new traffic camera can image, analyse, and extract data all on its own without the need for a separate computer to process images. This image processing can run at all hours by automatically controlling a lens shuttle to flip between a day and night mode.

The Ls245R optimises network traffic by sending images that are already processed or just sending metadata for each license plate that the camera extracts. Even in the case of a network outage, images and data are safely stored on the device and queued up for delivery when a network connection is established. The network connection for the Ls245R traffic camera also provides access to a Web UI to control device settings such as zoom, focus, iris, and even external lighting options.

The Ls245R traffic camera is the result of a flexible FPGA design using the Ls Series Platform. Capturing and processing images without the overhead of a traditional vision system is what makes the Platform so versatile for different imaging applications.
