  1. Container Code Readers Technology Overview 12 March 2009 Juan A. Herrera, Ph.D. Technical Director Perceptics, LLC

  2. ISO 6346 Container Code Standard

  3. ISO Container Types

  4. CCR Product Description • Extreme OCR • High accuracy • Omni-font, rotation & scale tolerant • Fully automated, 24/7 operation • Real-time performance • Environmentally controlled enclosures • Robust, field-proven technology

  5. Application Areas • ISO Container Identification • Chassis Number Identification • Vehicle Identification • Asset Management Verifies and reports ISO check digit imaged & calculated by system. Reads horizontal & vertical ISO codes.

  6. Sample Images • Side View • HFOV: 100” • VFOV: 75” • Rear View • HFOV: 80” • VFOV: 60”

  7. One Side and Back CCR System Minimal Configuration Dual Containers on chassis blocks rear door imaging Cameras and illuminators are mounted at a height of 12 ft (3.7 m)

  8. Two Sides and Back CCR System IP 65 enclosures Container thru-beam sensors at a 8’ – 10’ height Cameras and illuminators are mounted at a height of 12 ft (3.7 m)

  9. CCR System Architecture

  10. back side side side back back Concept of Operations Designed for speeds up to 40 mph R1 R1 R1 R0 R0 R0 1. Container is detected 2. Side is imaged and identified 3. Back is imaged and identified 4. Resulting ISO code is transmitted A chassis with two 20’ containers is imaged twice on the side and once on the rear

  11. CCR System Performance • One side / rear system automatically locates and identifies the 4-character owner code, 6-digit container number and check digit on at least 95% of all containers with one undamaged, unobstructed, and unobscured ISO 6346 code in its field of view. • Two side / rear system configuration improves read rate accuracy. • Optional country code and type code identification may reduce read rate to 90% of containers. • Both retro and non-retro reflective ISO codes. • Partial results from side and back images are combined for a more accurate result. • System confidence factor is computed for every read result. • Electronic manifest list can improve OCR accuracy. • Read result in less than 1 second after last image is captured.

  12. Features • Can process any combination of containers (20’, 40’, 45’, 2-20’). • Quality of image is independent of the vehicle speed. • In-motion CCR imaging improves throughput. • Maximum speed through the gate CCR system is 40 MPH. • Network interface protocol allows for easy integration. • System operates 24hrs/day, 7 days/week. • Image quality is consistent throughout day and night with low power, white light stroboscopic illuminator. • Environmentally controlled enclosures ensure performance under any weather condition. • Optional stainless steel lane controller enclosure for salt water installations.

  15. CCR Discriminators • Can combine with LPR at control gates • Reading accuracy >95% (owner code + ISO number + check digit) • Real-time processing speed (<1s per image) • Imaging is independent of truck speed

  16. Related Products • License Plate Reader (LPR) • Container Code Reader (CCR) • Chassis Number Reader (CHR) • Damage Inspection Imaging System (DIIS)
