2. Applicable parameters:
Parameter
Meaning
Values
IMAGERES
Resolution of the processed images.
This affects the number of frames InnoEdge
processes per second. On an Artpec4 camera
InnoEdge can process 4fps at a res of 640x480.
HMIN
DEFAULT: HALF_FRAME
Minimum height in pixels of detected plate
characters and numbers.
FULL_FRAME: InnoEdge uses main
stream res
HALF_FRAME: InnoEdge divides
main stream res by 2
QUARTER_FRAME: InnoEdge
divides the main stream res by 4
A value in the range 16-100.
Advised minimum height 20 pixels.
HMAX
DEFAULT: 20
Maximum height in pixels of detected plate
characters and numbers.
SERVERIP
DEFAULT: 40
IP Address of the server where the resulting
detections of InnoEdge engine are sent to.
A valid IP address
PORT
DEFAULT: 192.168.2.49
Port number used by the server to receive the
resulting detections from InnoEdge.
A valid port from 1 to 65000
PLATEBUFFERLEN
DEFAULT: 1234
Number of consecutive frames used by InnoEdge to A value in the range 1-30
start the recognition.
NUMMINREC
DEFAULT: 4
Number of same recognitions in the buffer that
define the final output.
SAMEPLATETIMEOUT
DEFAULT: 2
Number of seconds InnoEdge ignores plates when
equal to the last.
A value in the range 1-3600
USETEMPLATE
DEFAULT: 60
Allow the system to use country templates and
improve the recognition quality.
YES or NO
ROISTARTX
DEFAULT: YES
Start point of the ROI horizontal axis.
Number in 10th of % vs left side of image
A value in the range 0-1000
ROIYSTARTY
DEFAULT: 0 – means start at left of image
Start point of the ROI vertical axis.
th
Number in 10 of % vs bottom of image.
A value in the range 0-1000
ROIWIDTH
DEFAULT: 0 – means start at bottom of image
Horizontal width of the ROI.
th
Number in 10 of % vs ROISTARTX.
A value in the range 0-1000.
ROIHEIGHT
DEFAULT: 1000 – means entire image
Vertical height of the ROI.
Number in 10th of % vs ROISTARTY.
A value in the range 20-100.
Advised maximum height 50 pixels.
Value >= HMIN.
A value in the range 1-30.
Value <= PLATEBUFFERLEN.
ROISTARTX + ROIWIDTH <= 1000.
A value in the range 0-1000.
ROISTARTY + ROIHEIGHT <= 1000.
DEFAULT: 1000 – means entire image

3. Graphical representation of ROI set-up:
It is recommended to define the ROI to measure approximately 640x480 pixels.
This should be calculated versus the total image settings.
Example:
With an image resolution of 1280x720
Set ROISTARTX at 250
Set ROIWIDTH to 500
Set ROISTARTY at 250
Set ROIHEIGHT at 500
This means ROI is defined from ¼ of the left side and spans half the image.
Likewise, the ROI starts from ¼ of the bottom and spans half the height.
Thus the ROI measures 640x360 pixels.

4. Algorithm output:
MJPEG STREAMING:
An MJPEG Stream delivering the detection results is directly available.
In order to show the stream open a web browser and go to
www.IPCAMERA/local/innoedge/analyze.cgi
When a plate is detected, the result of the detection is placed on the top-left side of
the image.
This streaming is available also if the application is not licensed.
SERVER2:
Innoedge can send the result of a recognition to via network to a socket
server/listener application.
The port on which InnoEdge and the external application communicate can be
defined in the InnoEdge application settings (see “Applicable parameters”).
When InnoEdge detects a new plate, it sends the following string to the server:
<INNOEDGE>
<PLATE>DETECTED_PLATE<\PLATE>
<DATE>DETECTION_TIME<\DATE>
<CONF>PLATE_CONFIDENCE<\CONF>
<HCAR>PLATE_HCAR<\HCAR>
<\INNOEDGE>
wherein:
DETECTED_PLATE represents the detected plate, e.g. “AB123CD”
DETECTION_TIME represents the time stamp, in format DD-MM-YY HH:MM:SS
PLATE_CONFIDENCE represents the quality of the recognition, in the range 0-100
PLATE_HCAR represents the height of detected plate characters.
