Overview
The continuous increase in population in urban areas implies major challenges in the public management
of cities. Intelligent services that use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become
increasingly relevant in helping to monitor, control and make efficient and quick decisions to solve problems
inherent to the large concentration of people, such as mobility and security in the traffic, energy efficiency,
public safety, supply control, among others.
The concept called Smart Cities is a global trend that classifies the strategic use of infrastructure and
services from the application of ICT solutions in urban planning and management, bringing results to the
social and economic needs of society. Thus, the use of Information Technology allows cities to develop
economically while improving the quality of life of the inhabitants by generating efficiency in urban
operations.
Examples of these technologies are Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), in which Pumatronix products are
used, such as the ITSCAM 400 line. The devices of this line capture images of vehicles for traffic
management, enforcement, Smart City Applications, mobility systems and applications that demand capture
of images whose minimum distance from the application is greater than 2 meters, using a sensor of global
shutter image:

1.Knowing the Product
The ITSCAM 400 line of image capture and processing devices was developed for traffic management,
enforcement, Smart City Applications, mobility systems and applications that require image capture whose
minimum distance from the application is greater than 2 meters.
Lenses and Image Sensors
The ITSCAM 400 device can be selected with an internal motorized lens (with software controllable zoom
and focus), or a standard CS Mount fixed lens. The model of equipment that receives fixed lenses has an
Iris DC control output that allows electronically controlling the iris if the lens supports it. The lenses used
must be compatible with the image sensor sizes used, considering:
Sensor Code

1280x960px
S05 (CCD HDR)
1280x960px
S06 (CCD HDR)
1636X1220px
1/1,8”
The ITSCAM 400's image sensors have high sensitivity to infrared light, ideal for use with flashes and dim
illuminators, with light invisible to the human eye. See Sensitivity of Sensors to Light for sensor
specifications about the supported wavelength range.
The focal length varies according to the lens used and refers to the distance between the optical center of
a lens and the plane of focus, measured in mm (millimeters), with the angle of view being more “open” for
smaller values.
Inputs and Outputs
The ITSCAM 400 hardware has a total of 4 input and output ports (IOs), being 2 input ports for installing
external sensors, which identify the moment of capturing the images (trigger) and 2 output ports that can
control the artificial lighting (flash), usually triggered automatically in low light situations. In situations
where the application of external sensors is unfeasible, the ITSCAM 400 device can be configured to
generate trigger events from image analysis, by enabling software triggering (Virtual Trigger).
Data Transmission over the Network
When the ITSCAM 400 receives an image capture request, either by triggering an external trigger or by
software, the flash synchronism occurs, and the next generated frame will be made available by the
network. The captured images are transmitted digitally (in BMP or JPEG format) through the network
interface, using the TCP/IP protocol. The transmission time of images captured by the ITSCAM 400 varies
depending on the network infrastructure conditions. The transmission capacity of the network to which the
ITSCAM 400 is connected can be affected by the following factors:
•Processing capacity of the equipment that receives the data;
•Quality of the network card of the equipment that receives the data;
•Traffic volume of the network to which the ITSCAM 400 is connected;

Review 4.0

www.pumatronix.com
•Quality of peripherals connected to the network (hubs, switches, routers, etc.).
The table below shows typical image transmission rates over the network in JPEG and BMP formats. Upon
receiving a request for image capture (via the network or via I/O), the ITSCAM 400 prepares the image
and stores it in RAM immediately, being transmitted according to the availability of the network.

Format of Transmitted Images
The image can be transmitted, either in Photo or Video mode, in BMP or JPEG formats. In both formats,
the ITSCAM 400 transmits an image that includes the header of the respective format. In the case of JPEG
images, the settings of the ITSCAM 400 at the time of capture and additional data, such as the license plate
of the vehicle in case of embedded OCR, are also attached within the image.
Additionally, the quality of the JPEG image can be selected, setting between 1 (worst quality –highest
compression) and 100 (best quality –least compression).
Supported Servers
The ITSCAM 400 can communicate with different types of servers if they are correctly configured. Each
server has its own characteristics when connecting to the ITSCAM 400:
Server
Interaction with the ITSCAM 400
FTP
The equipment connects via FTP with one of the servers available for sending images
ITSCAMPRO
By configuring the ITSCAM 400 to communicate with the ITSCAMPRO solution, it is possible to
send images and the plates read by the embedded OCR. ITSCAMPRO is an application that
concentrates the images and plates sent by the ITSCAM 400, allowing visualization and

application)
RTSP*
The Real Time Streaming server can receive the images captured by the ITSCAM 400 through the
link rtsp://ITSCAM IP:PORT/mjpeg. If the default port 554 is specified, the link becomes
rtsp://ITSCAM IP/mjpeg
Porta Serial
It creates a TCP server on the ITSCAM 400 on the specified ports and causes all messages that
travel through the ITSCAM 400's serial port to be redirected to the port that has been configured
in the TCP protocol
*ITSCAM 400 implements an MJPEG stream that operates independently of the server that is configured. This
stream can be composed of images not synchronized with the lighting, as well as illuminated images.
Digital Signature
Some ITSCAM 400 models sign the images they transmit digitally. Images are signed when requested in
JPEG format, regardless of whether the request came via network or an external trigger. The hardware
asymmetric encryption mechanism contains a protected internal memory for storing private keys.

3. Generated Information
Figure 3 –Example of image generated by ITSCAM 400
The ITSCAM 400 line is composed of image capture and processing devices that are transmitted digitally
(in BMP or JPEG format) through the network interface, through the TCP/IP protocol. Each ITSCAM 400
has an IP address, which allows you to remotely configure all its settings. The network interface also allows
multiple devices to be accessed by the same machine, without overloading or compromising capture,
switching and synchronization time.
The ITSCAM 400's digital technology improves image quality over analog systems. In digital technology,
photons are converted to an analog level and then digitized. These digital values correspond to image pixels
and with fewer conversion steps, image quality losses are reduced.
The ITSCAM 400 series devices use non-interlaced (progressive scan) global shutter image sensors to
capture images. This means that all image pixels are captured at the same instant and it is possible to
capture images with moving objects. Generally, the real resolution of analog images is 640x240 pixels,
while the ITSCAM 400 provides all the resolutions shown in the graphic. This difference in the number of
pixels is sensitive not only to the human eye, but also to automatic license plate recognition (LPR)
algorithms, as illustrated:

Figure 4 - Comparison between the actual number of pixels of analog and digital images
With the ITSCAM 400, the greater number of pixels available in the width of the image also allows, with
the same zoom used in analog images, a greater field of view of the image can be achieved. Thus,
information loss at the edges, such as vehicles between lanes, is minimized. Starting with firmware version
19, all ITSCAM 400 models can generate cropped images and some other reduced (scaled) resolutions, as
identified in the table:

*The 1280x960 pixel model can generate 1024x768 pixel resolution images.
JPEG Comments
The JPEG format is a block-based image storage format. Blocks start with a tag that is always composed
of 0xFF and a second byte. Some examples are:
0xFF 0xD8: Start of image
0xFF 0xD9: End of image
0xFF 0xE8: Image information such as data size and formatting
0xFF 0xDA: Start of compressed image
0xFF 0xFE: Comments in text format
The file is always formatted in such a way that, for example, 0xFFDA only appears once in the file (to
indicate the beginning of the compressed image data). Therefore, Pumatronix uses the image comments
tag to store generated metadata for each capture. This field (commonly referred to as Comments or Image
Comments) can be found in the image by looking for bytes 0xFF and 0xFE. As comments are placed at the
end of the image, it is suggested to search for the marker starting at the end of the file. Then, following
JPEG standards, the data is formatted as follows:
0
500.000
1.000.000
1.500.000
2.000.000

Automatic License Plate Recognition
Vehicle license plate location and recognition functionality is possible through an OCR server (MAP or PC)
that offers better image analysis processing. The main functionality of this OCR server is to recognize
Brazilian and Mercosur license plates from images using a software library. For OCR processing of vehicle
license plates from countries other than Brazil, please contact Pumatronix technical support.

For a better recognition index, it is recommended to adjust the equipment to capture the license plate of
the vehicles in the center of the images and with the height of the letters and numbers of 20 pixels when
the resolution is up to 752x480px and 25 pixels for higher resolutions, from 1280X720px to 1636X1220px.
Whenever an image in JPEG format is requested via the Photo command or via I/O, the ITSCAM 400
captures the frame, performs license plate recognition, and transmits the image. This functionality is not
performed if the request is made by the Video command or if the requested image is configured for BMP
format.
After capturing the image, the ITSCAM 400 seeks to identify objects like a license plate. When locating each
of these objects, the recognition algorithm seeks to identify letters and numbers. The identification result
depends on the minimum reliability that the character presents. The read license plate is inserted within
the JPEG stream itself, in the comments field.
Sending by RS-232 Compatible com Wiegand 26
The ITSCAM 400 models that have the functionality of locating and recognizing vehicle license plates can
communicate with Wiegand controllers, very common in parking lots. In this type of communication, a
license plate list is used to identify a set of vehicles using only 24 bits. The supported model is Wiegand
26, through a serial converter. For this functionality to work correctly, it is necessary to load the License
Plate List File into the ITSCAM 400's memory and carry out the steps to configure the connections.
As in previous versions of the ITSCAM 400, connecting a user to a serial port, via the Serial Server, interrupts
all messages exchanged through that serial port, including GPS, photo request with or without stripe, and
plate sending. Such functionality will be maintained so as not to disturb the equipment configuration (which
is the purpose of this feature). The transmission of these messages via serial does not interfere with the
reception of messages from other functionalities (GPS, photo with or without a stripe).
License Plate List File
For the RS-232 port to be used in equipment that supports the Wiegand 26 protocol, a file must be created
containing the information on the plates and their respective identifier. This file containing the list is sent
to ITSCAM 400 and with each new vehicle identification, the list is consulted.
Sending the file with the list can be done using the Web interface, which has a content validator, or by cgi
command. This file must be CSV (separated by comma, semicolon, or tab (0x09)), containing one plate per
line, formatted in two columns: plate (ASCII, 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters) and id (ASCII decimal,
between 0 and 16777215). The CSV file pattern follows the example:
ABC1234,321
ZZZ4444,456
XYZ9876,99
To forward plates outside the list, the first row of the table must contain the plate * (just an asterisk) and
the id. This value is sent by the equipment whenever an unlisted plate is recognized. When processing the
web interface, characters are converted to uppercase. The quotes and spaces are removed before
forwarding the list. Other columns and rows with empty columns are ignored. Cases in which importing the
list using the Web Interface will fail:

•The license plate does not have alphanumeric characters;
•Specified ID out of range;
•Invalid characters exist;
•There are duplicates.
In cases of failure, the interface will point to the wrong line and not load. In cases of success, at the end
of the list loading, the interface will show the number of loaded lines.
If the list is loaded by POST command to api/platelistid.cgi , the file must have only 2 columns, all values
must contain only alphanumeric characters (between 'A' to 'Z' and '0' to '9', except first line), without spaces
and be separated by commas. The lines must be sorted in ascending order, using the plate as a key. The
ASCII character value is used to do this sorting and only 100,000 license plates are supported. The ordering
of the list influences the processing speed, as the algorithm uses the binary search method for the plates
in the list. In addition, partial plates can be identified by selecting at least one low probability character in
the OCR menu, so the search can infer the closest plate in the list.
The verification of the list that is in the equipment can be obtained in the form of a text file, using the
option of Export List. To remove the plate list, use the Remove List button on the web interface or upload
an empty file.
Geographic Location - GPS
Some ITSCAM 400 models can provide images with the location coordinates embedded, requiring only an
external GPS antenna on Serial Port 1. In this case, serial port 1 must be configured to control integrated
GPS and the serial settings must be: speed 4800bps, 8 bits in protocol, no parity and with 1 stop bit or
4800-8N1.
All ITSCAM 400 models that allow the use of integrated GPS will be discontinued.
Vehicle Counting Function
The ITSCAM 400 can be used as a Vehicle Counter. This function allows to select a region of the track to
survey the number of vehicles that circulated during a set period.
To obtain optimal performance from this function, the ITSCAM 400 must be installed above the center of
the road, so that the traffic direction occurs linearly under the coverage of the ITSCAM 400, as shown in
the figure. In this illustration the ITSCAM 400 is installed under a footbridge that crosses the highway.
Figure 5 - Installation of the ITSCAM 400 to maximize the results of using the Vehicle Counter function
The Vehicle Counter function has its own interface (Figure 6), available at www.pumatronix.com, in the
Customer Area > Technical Support . The procedure for using the counter requires connecting to the
ITSCAM 400, demarcating the counting region, and checking or restarting the count:

1) Run the application and enter the IP address of the ITSCAM 400 which you want to count and
establish the connection;
2) Define an area in the image that should detect the passing of the vehicle and add the total
value of the count. To determine this counting region, simply select a region of the image with
the mouse or enter the coordinates of the area in the image at the top of the screen;
3) Once the selection is made, the outline of the region in dark color will signal the selected area;
4) The result can be visualized by vehicle size, with a breakdown of the types of vehicles accounted
for as small (motorcycles, small vehicles), medium (medium-sized vehicles) and large (trucks,
buses and similar).

Sensitivity of Sensors to Light
The ITSCAM 400 has high sensitivity to infrared light, ideal for use with flashes and dim illuminators, with
light invisible to the human eye. Below are the Sensitivity vs. Wavelength graphs for the image sensors of
the monochromatic and Day/Night versions, representing approximate values for all sensor models in force.
Remembering that in the color sensor 50% of the pixels are green, 25% are red and 25% are blue,
according to the Bayer standard. Each color has specific sensitivity, according to the wavelengths. However,
in the infrared region the colors have practically coincident sensitivity curves.
