About Sesame - Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Sesame is an open-source automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system developed by OptiSol Business Solutions. The platform leverages advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms to accurately identify, capture, and process vehicle registration plates in real-time. Built on proven open-source frameworks, Sesame delivers a cost-effective, scalable solution for traffic management, parking enforcement, toll collection, and security monitoring. The platform supports multiple camera feeds, handles various plate formats and lighting conditions, and integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure. By utilizing AiDOOS marketplace for deployment and governance, organizations gain access to optimized infrastructure management, accelerated implementation timelines, and enhanced scalability across distributed deployments, enabling rapid time-to-value for mission-critical traffic and security operations.

Challenges It Solves

  • High costs of proprietary ANPR systems limit adoption by smaller municipalities and operators
  • Manual vehicle identification processes are time-consuming, error-prone, and resource-intensive
  • Inflexible commercial solutions struggle to adapt to regional plate formats and variations
  • Integrating ANPR with existing security and traffic systems requires significant custom development
