This paper describes a system for the automatic identification of vehicles
by the contents of its license plate. The system has been developed over th
e last five years and is one of the four candidate systems for automatic to
ll collection in the Netherlands. Due to the extreme time and performance r
equirements placed on the system, advanced techniques like DT-CNNs and clas
sifier combining are used. The first tests on the road show that the system
correctly recognizes 85.4% of the passing vehicles, while marking the rema
ining 14.6% as unrecognizable.
