What is OCR? Does PIPS manufacture its own OCR?
OCR is optical character recognition, or the ability for a machine to recognize printed characters and convert them into data. PIPS develops and maintains its own library of OCR engines. Unlike some others, PIPS does not use a generic OCR engine for all states and regions. PIPS uses a customized OCR engine specific to the state, region, or country of interest. PIPS OCR engines are very tolerant of skewed and off-axis plate reads, various plate sizes, syntax rules, and designs. The engine reads the captured infrared plate image and converts it to a data file.
