GithubIn modern smart communities and commercial buildings, traditional garage access control systems often rely on card swiping or manual verification, which not only results in low efficiency but also easily leads to congestion during peak hours and management loopholes.
To achieve intelligent vehicle access and seamless passage, smart access control manufacturers have integrated SingTown's OpenMV intelligent camera image recognition technology. Through AI machine vision and computer vision algorithms, this enables automatic vehicle licence plate detection, recognition, and access control, creating an efficient and stable intelligent garage access control system.

The intelligent access control manufacturer adopted SingTown's OpenMV smart camera to construct an automatic vehicle license plate recognition system for garages based on AI machine vision recognition technology.
The system utilises an OpenMV intelligent camera installed at the garage entrance to capture vehicle images in real time. It employs image recognition algorithms to detect licence plate regions, segment and recognise characters, and compares the information with registered vehicle data in the database to achieve automatic access control and logging.
This system employs embedded vision, edge-deployed edge detection, a deep learning character recognition model, and OCR algorithms, enabling it to maintain a recognition accuracy rate exceeding 98% in complex environments such as varying lighting conditions, fluctuating vehicle speeds, and rainy or foggy weather.
Leveraging the edge AI computing capabilities of SingTown Technology's OpenMV, all recognition and comparison processes can be completed locally on the device without the need for cloud-based server support. The single recognition response time is as low as 100 milliseconds, truly achieving low-latency, seamless access. Additionally, the camera features automatic exposure, white balance, and dynamic range optimisation, ensuring stable and reliable licence plate recognition even in nighttime or backlit scenarios.
Leveraging SingTown's integrated software and hardware platform, this system can swiftly interface with garage barriers, access control controllers, and property management systems, enabling automatic vehicle entry and exit recognition, coordinated charging, and anomaly alerts.
Through SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera edge AI image recognition technology, smart access control manufacturers have achieved a fully automated, seamless intelligent upgrade from traditional access control to AI visual recognition and licence plate recognition access control. This significantly enhances management efficiency and security, making car park and garage management more efficient, secure, and convenient.
