EVT VECID Vehicle Identification Tool Review: Specs, Price and Applications
Updated: 7 days ago
VECID adds deep-learning number plate reading and vehicle make and model recognition to EyeVision software, built on TensorFlow with pre-trained networks and support for training custom CNNs. Pricing is available on request for the required configuration.
Quick Verdict
VECID reads plates where standard OCR struggles with distortion, reflections and over- or underexposure. Through the EyeVision operating system it runs on platforms from single-core ARM processors to current x86 systems under Windows or Linux.
EVT VECID Vehicle Identification Tool is most relevant when its stated function matches the intended process. This product belongs on the shortlist when its stated vision function matches the inspection or perception problem and the surrounding acquisition and control system can support it. Confirm the complete configuration and test representative data before scaling to production. A team seeking a turnkey station should evaluate the whole solution, including hardware, software licences, calibration and support.

Design and Build Quality
A vision workflow should be assessed as a chain: image acquisition, processing and the decision delivered to the machine. The hardware or software can contribute useful capabilities without solving every part of that chain. Define which outputs the process needs and which conditions make a result unreliable. This keeps a successful demonstration from being confused with a validated inspection system.
Protection and Installation
Begin with representative images or measurements from the actual process. Include normal variation, difficult materials and borderline cases. Lighting, lens choice, camera position and data quality can affect the result as strongly as the processing method. Keep the acquisition conditions consistent while evaluating parameters, then deliberately test variation before committing to the installation.
Programming and Software
The appropriate workflow depends on whether the product supplies a graphical environment, a library, a camera interface or a complete measurement station. Use its documented interfaces for the selected configuration. A graphical setup can reduce initial programming, while a library can provide greater control inside an existing application. Neither removes the need for testing, configuration management and predictable recovery.
Integration and Operating Workflow
Separate configuration of the vision task from integration with the machine sequence. The application needs to associate a result with the correct workpiece and handle invalid data, delays and disconnects. Establish a clear acknowledgement between the processing system and its consumer so that an old or incomplete result cannot be mistaken for the next part's measurement.
VECID Applications and Use Cases
Car park entry
EVT VECID Vehicle Identification Tool is described for car park entry. For this application, define the acceptance criterion before optimizing the setup. A useful evaluation includes both successful and unsuccessful cases and records how often the system makes the wrong decision. Measurement, detection and identification are different tasks; choose the output that the process actually needs rather than relying on an attractive visualization.
Toll roads
EVT VECID Vehicle Identification Tool is described for toll roads. For this application, define the acceptance criterion before optimizing the setup. A useful evaluation includes both successful and unsuccessful cases and records how often the system makes the wrong decision. Measurement, detection and identification are different tasks; choose the output that the process actually needs rather than relying on an attractive visualization.
Law enforcement
EVT VECID Vehicle Identification Tool is described for law enforcement. For this application, define the acceptance criterion before optimizing the setup. A useful evaluation includes both successful and unsuccessful cases and records how often the system makes the wrong decision. Measurement, detection and identification are different tasks; choose the output that the process actually needs rather than relying on an attractive visualization.
Vehicle classification
EVT VECID Vehicle Identification Tool is described for vehicle classification. For this application, define the acceptance criterion before optimizing the setup. A useful evaluation includes both successful and unsuccessful cases and records how often the system makes the wrong decision. Measurement, detection and identification are different tasks; choose the output that the process actually needs rather than relying on an attractive visualization.
