Introduction

Carmen Worker® is a user-friendly, locally hosted version of our cloud APIs. It comes with pre-configured image recognition engines that effectively process most input images out of the box.

While providing the same REST API as our cloud service and the standard Carmen Worker®, the Base Image gives you complete control over the details of the recognition process, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs.

Before using the base image, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with how the Adaptive Recognition ANPR, MMR and OCR engines work by reading the following documentation:
