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) become
increasingly relevant in helping to monitor, control, and make efficient and quick decisions to solve the
problems inherent in the large concentration of people, such as mobility and safety in traffic, energy
efficiency, public security, supply control, among others.
The concept known as 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. Therefore, the use of Information Technology allows cities to develop
economically while increasing the quality of life of their inhabitants by generating efficiency in urban
operations.
Examples of these technologies are the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), in which Pumatronix products
are used, such as the ITSCAM VIGIA+ line. The devices of this line capture images of vehicles for traffic
management, inspection, 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 global shutter
image sensor:

Handling Risks
This equipment must be powered by a direct current (DC) source with a voltage of
12Vdc or 24Vdc. Do not connect any of the inputs directly to the power grid (AC)!
Risk of Oxidation: The electrical and signal connections made in the ITSCAM VIGIA+
bundle and the data network cable must be protected in a terminal box or similar
structure to prevent oxidation of the connections and unwanted infiltration of liquids
into the bundle.
This equipment has a lens set that is sensitive to mechanical impacts such as drops and
severe external vibrations.
Installation Site: In cases where it is not possible to meet installation specifications, it
is recommended to consult Pumatronix Technical Support.
Vision Damage: The built-in illuminator emits thermal and light energy (not visible
because it is infrared lighting), so it is not recommended to look directly at the LEDs. It
is also not recommended to use any optical instrument to look directly at the LEDs. If
malfunctions occur, send the product to Pumatronix Technical Assistance.

1. Knowing the Product
The line of ITSCAM VIGIA+ image capture and processing devices was developed for traffic management,
inspection, Smart City Applications, mobility systems, and applications that require image capture whose
minimum distance from the application is greater than 2 meters.
Models with embedded OCR capture vehicle images, automatically read the characters on the license plate,
and send the image and information through data network.
The built-in illuminator allows the identification of vehicles during daytime and nighttime period. In cases
where there is insufficient lighting to capture the vehicle license plate legibly, the built-in illuminator is
automatically triggered and emits infrared-type light, which is imperceptible to the human eye.
The Sliding Flap on the ITSCAM VIGIA+ device housing provides additional protection for the lens in cases
where there is a direct incidence of reflections or sunlight, which interfere at the quality of the generated
images
The distances applied when installing the device and which allow the identification of the vehicle license
plates characters vary according to the model sensor, as specified in the models table.
Lenses and Image Sensors
The ITSCAM VIGIA+ device features an internal motorized lens (with software controllable zoom and focus)
and a DC Iris control output that allows you to control the iris electronically if the lens supports it. The
lenses used must be compatible with the image sensor sizes used, considering:
Sensor Code Resolution Size (in inches)
S01 (CMOS) 752x480 px
1/3” S04 (CCD) 1280x960 px
S07 (CCD) 640x480 px
S08 (CMOS) 1280x800 px 1/4”
Opening the back cover will result in an instant
loss of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ Warranty.
The image sensors of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ have high sensitivity to infrared light. See the sensivity to light
for sensor specifications on compatible 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 hardware of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ has a total of 3 input and output ports (IOs): 1 output port, and 2
input ports for the installation of external sensors, which identify the moment of image capture (trigger).
In situations where the application of external sensors is not feasible, the ITSCAM VIGIA+ device can be
configured to generate trigger events from image analysis, by enabling the software trigger (Virtual
Trigger).
Data Transmission over the Network
When ITSCAM VIGIA+ receives an image capture request, either by triggering an external trigger or by
software, the flash is synchronized, and the next frame generated will be made available over 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 the images captured by ITSCAM VIGIA+ varies according to
the network infrastructure conditions. The transmission capacity of the network to which ITSCAM VIGIA+
is connected may 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 VIGIA+ is connected;
 Quality of peripherals connected to the network (hubs, switches, routers, etc.).
The table below shows typical rates of images transmission over the network in JPEG and BMP formats.
Upon receiving a request for image capture (via the network or I/O), ITSCAM VIGIA+ prepares the image
and stores it in RAM immediately, and transmits it according to network availability.

Transmitted Image Format
The image can be transmitted, either in Photo or Video mode, in BMP or JPEG formats. In both formats,
ITSCAM VIGIA+ transmits an image that includes the header of the respective format. In case of JPEG
images, within the image are also attached the ITSCAM VIGIA+ settings of capture moment and additional
data, such as vehicle license plate in case of embedded OCR.
Additionally, the JPEG image quality can be selected by setting between 1 (worst quality – highest
compression) and 100 (best quality – least compression).
Supported Servers
ITSCAM VIGIA+ can communicate with different types of servers, provided they are properly configured.
Each server has its features when connecting to ITSCAM VIGIA+:
Server Interaction with ITSCAM VIGIA+
FTP Equipment connects via FTP with one of the servers available for sending images
ITSCAMPRO
By configuring the ITSCAM VIGIA+ 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 ITSCAM VIGIA+, allowing visualization and
generation of different types of reports (please consult Pumatronix for more information about
the application)
RTSP*
The Real Time Streaming server can receive the images captured by ITSCAM VIGIA+ through the
link rtsp://IP_DA_ITSCAM:PORTA/mjpeg . If the default port 554 is specified, the link will be

3. Generated Information
Figure 2 – Example of an image generated by ITSCAM VIGIA+
The ITSCAM VIGIA+ line is composed of devices for capturing and processing images which are transmitted
digitally (in BMP or JPEG format) by the network interface, through the TCP/IP protocol. Each ITSCAM
VIGIA+ has an IP address, which allows to remotely reset all its settings. The network interface also allows
multiple devices to be accessed by the same machine, without ocurring overloading or compromising
capture, switching, and synchronization time.
The digital technology of ITSCAM VIGIA+ enhances image quality compared to analog systems. In digital
technology, photons are converted to an analog level and then digitized. These digital values corresponding
to the pixels of the image and with fewer conversion steps, losses in image quality are reduced.
ITSCAM VIGIA+ line 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 ITSCAM
VIGIA+ provides all resolutions shown in the chart. This difference in the number of pixels is sensitive not
only to the human eye but also to automatic license plate reading (LPR) algorithms, as illustrated:

Figure 3 - Comparison between the actual number of pixels of analog and digital images
The larger number of pixels available in the image width also allows a larger image field of view to be
achieved with the same zoom used in analog images.
With ITSCAM VIGIA+, the greater number of pixels available in the image width also allows a larger image
field of view to be achieved with the same zoom used in analog images. Thus, the loss of information at
the edges, such as vehicles between lanes. From firmware version 19 onwards, all ITSCAM VIGIA+ models
can generate cropped images and some other resized resolutions, as identified in the table:

S07: CCD 640x480 px 480x320, 320x240 ou 800x600
JPEG Comments
The JPEG format is an image storage format based on information blocks. Blocks start with a tag that is
always composed of 0xFF and a second byte. Examples:
 0xFF 0xD8: Beginning of the image
 0xFF 0xD9: End of the image
 0xFF 0xE8: Image information such as data size and formatting
 0xFF 0xDA: Beginning of the compressed image
 0xFF 0xFE: Comments in text format
The file is always formatted such that, for example, 0xFFDA only appears once in the file (to indicate the
beginning of the image compressed data). Therefore, Pumatronix uses the image comments tag to store
generated metadata of 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:
Comments

Size of comments (counting this field, in Big
Endian)

As the comments consist of a C string ending '\0', it is possible to use some function like strcpy, 2 bytes
after the tag to extract it. The string is composed of a sequence of "key=value;" (semicolon separating
sets of key and value).

Automatic Recognition of Plates
Vehicle license plate location and recognition functionality are 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, 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 images center and with the height of the letters and numbers of 20 pixels when the
resolution is up to 752x480 px and 25 pixels for higher resolutions, of 1280x800 px to 1280x960px.
Whenever an image in JPEG format is requested via the Photo command or I/O, ITSCAM VIGIA+ 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.

www.pumatronix.com
After capturing image, ITSCAM VIGIA+ seeks to identify objects like a license plate. When locating each of
these objects, the recognition algorithm seeks to identify letters and numbers. The result of the
identification depends on the minimum reliability of the character. The plate read is inserted within the
JPEG stream itself, in the comments field.
Send via RS-232 compatible with Wiegand 26
The ITSCAM VIGIA+ 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 into the ITSCAM VIGIA+ memory and carry out the steps to configure the connections.
As in previous versions of ITSCAM VIGIA+, the connection of a user to a serial port, via Serial Server,
interrupts all messages exchanged by that serial port, including photo requests with or without label and
sending of license plates. Such functionality will be kept so as not to hinder the setting of equipment (which
is the purpose of such a feature). The transmission of these messages via serial does not interfere with the
reception of messages from other functions (GPS, photo with or without label).
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 of the plates and their respective identifier. This file containing the list is sent to
ITSCAM VIGIA+ and at each new vehicle identification, this 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 a 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 standard 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 where importing the
list using Web Interface will fail:
 The license plate does not have alphanumeric characters;
 Id specified out of range;
 There are invalid characters;
 There are duplicates.
In cases of failure, the interface will point to the incorrect line and will not load. In successful cases, at the
end of loading the list, the interface will show the number of lines loaded.
If the list is loaded by POST command to api/platelistid.cgi , the file must have only 2 columns, and all
values must contain only alphanumeric characters (between 'A' to 'Z' and '0' to '9', except the first line),
without spaces and be separated by commas. The rows must be 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
Export List option. To remove the plates list, use the Remove List button on the web interface or upload an
empty file.
Vehicle Counter Function
ITSCAM VIGIA+ can be used as a Vehicle Counter . This function allows you to select a region of the track
to survey the number of vehicles that circulated during a set period.
To obtain optimal performance of this function, ITSCAM VIGIA+ must be installed above the center of the
road, so that the traffic direction occurs linearly under the cover of ITSCAM VIGIA+, as exemplified in the
figure. In this illustration, ITSCAM VIGIA+ is installed under a footbridge that crosses the highway.
Figure 4 - Installation of ITSCAM VIGIA+ to maximize the results of using the Vehicle Counter function
The Vehicle Counter function has its interface (Figure 5), available at www.pumatronix.com, in the
Customer’s Area > Technical Support . The procedure to use counter requires connection to ITSCAM VIGIA+,
demarcation of the counting region, and checking or restarting the count:
1) Run the application and enter the IP address of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ to be counted and to
establish the connection;
2) Define an area on the image that must detect the passage of the vehicle and add up the total
count value. 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 mark the selected area;
4) The result can be visualized by vehicle size, with a breakdown of vehicle types accounted for
as small (motorcycles, small vehicles), medium (medium-sized vehicles), and large (trucks,
buses, and the like).
