A-EYE

Hello, Greetings from AEye SoftLabs Private Limited. We are a startup working on Automated toll collection using computer vision (a specific field of Artificial Intelligence). It works on the principle of identifying vehicle by it's registration plate (ANPR). The solution we have built is able to identify vehicles better than any other existing solutions. In order to test our solution in real time, we are finding it difficult to get video footage of vehicles passing through a toll gate. We have approached multiple toll collection agencies (like NH44, Manoharabad Toll Plaza, Telangana) for old footage data but they asked for a permission from NHAI for the same. It would be great if we can get an approval from your side, allowing us to access video footage of a week from any toll booth.

This is around 20 days since I met you last. Some progress has happened. I am not alone now. Ashok and Srinivas anna are with me on this. There is little more clarity on taking things forward now. Best part is I am working on market research for now. It would have been almost impossible if I had to work on both product

So, this is almost after an year I am back! Lots of things have happened since then, but not much related to A.Eye! In the last few couple of weeks, I resumed working on A.Eye. Here are the developments. 1) There is a service by name OpenALPR, who has API for number plate detection. It's decently good. Our approach will be to start using this till we have in-house solution! 2) Srinivas Anna won't be fully part of this company. He is relocating to Microsoft US. That is hugely unfortunate for the company. It's kind of removing strong foundation of the company. Now, I will be required to learn things on do it on our own. 3) I have been doing some domain research in last few weeks and realised few things.     1) This is a pretty old field. As old as 1970 where it was used as a surveillance by the police.     2) It required huge setup to run ANPR.     3) There are multiple companies working in this field across different countries and also at home...
