ITS ImageServer Functionality
VIS 300/400 EN ImageServer User’s Guide
2.1 ImageServer Functions
The ImageServer can:
• Collect images from the TS(C)-9720EN or TS(C)-2030EN camera or watch a folder for incoming
image files. One IS application can do either or both at the same time for up to 16 cameras/folders,
depending on the PC performance.
• Receive extra information about the vehicle from a lane controller. The information can be corre-
lated with the image based on the time-stamp in the image and in the message from the lane con-
troller. The lane controller information can be tagged into the image and also the VDT.
• Processed images are tagged with relevant information like ImageServer ID, Site ID, and lane
number. Images and tags can be saved as TIFF or JPEG.
• Combine several images into one VDT. For instance, images from the front and the back of a vehi-
cle can be stored together as one VDT.
• Plate finding. IS can run a plate finder, and based on the result cut out a plate image and store that
together with the original image.
• Fingerprints can be generated and stored in the VDT.
• Automatic License Plate Reading (ALPR). Read the license plate in the Image and tag the result
into the image and store it in the VDT.
• Send the results to a ProcessServer over TCP/IP
• Store results directly into a database
• Store the resulting files in a folder
The IS output consists of a VDT in the form of an XML file, and one or more images tagged with
information, optionally including an image of the license plate.
The ImageServer runs on a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 PC. It can run as a Windows service
or as a normal application.
The ImageServer functionality can be configured, making it a very versatile tool.
