How It Works

Step 1

Each number (0-9) that can occur on an automobile license plate or other identification device, label, or tag is assigned a color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Numbers on each BarChrome™ license plate are set against a backdrop of the assigned color.

 

 

 

 

Result

Readability both by humans and through machines, as in the case of photographs of moving vehicles, is dramatically enhanced. Since we know the color scheme and spacing of each color field, we can read license plates with 100% precision even where the numbers are illegible, as depicted below.
