UVeye launches vehicle digital "fingerprint" system to easily identify vehicles

Similar to a person's fingerprint, each car has its own unique identity - a "fingerprint" that is different from other vehicles. According to foreign media reports, UVeye, a developer of vehicle threat detection systems, has launched a technology that can create a virtual "fingerprint" for a vehicle after scanning the chassis.

“For example, if a vehicle’s license plate is stolen, it can be easily identified by scanning the vehicle’s undercarriage with the UVeye,” explains Amir Hever, the company’s CEO. “We are also considering using digital fingerprint technology in locations such as data centers, correctional institutions, airports, border crossings, hotel entrances and seaports.”

Earlier this year, the company launched UV Inspect, a technology that instantly identifies bombs, weapons, drugs and other dangerous items hidden in vehicle chassis. The company's mobile and fixed Helios chassis scanning systems can be equipped with UV Inspect software to improve the vehicle's threat detection capabilities. Currently, UVeye's Helios inspection systems are deployed in hundreds of high-security locations around the world and have performed millions of vehicle scans. The company's proprietary algorithms, cloud architecture, sensor fusion, AI and machine learning technologies can complete the necessary vehicle inspections in seconds.

First introduced in 2016, the UVeye Undercarriage Threat Detection System can scan vehicles traveling at speeds of up to 25 mph (35 kph), even in extreme weather conditions, helping to improve traffic flow at checkpoints and border crossings.

The fixed Helios system uses five high-resolution multi-directional cameras, can operate in extreme weather conditions, supports single and multi-lane traffic configurations, and can support vehicles weighing up to 20 tons per axle.

UVeye’s detection technology also includes UV Compare, a deep learning system that monitors traffic flow trends to identify changes that may indicate safety issues. The company also provides license plate recognition (LPR) software to assist in vehicle fingerprinting.
