Re: ANPR Software for Gate control

[ant <blowback@xxxxxxxxx>]

OpenCV should have all the bits you need to bolt an ANPR together,
sure enough there are a few such projects:

http://anprmx.codeplex.com/
http://javaanpr.sourceforge.net/
http://opos.codeplex.com/
http://jocr.sourceforge.net/
https://github.com/oesmith/OpenANPR

Haven't tried any of them myself, but could be a useful starting point
for some cheap experimentation.

cheers
