Disclosed herein is a handheld speed gun incorporating automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) functionality. As the image size of a vehicle license plate varies depending on its distance from the speed gun, in the present invention the distance to the target vehicle is known through the functionality of the laser sensor so the size of the pixels for the number plate can be estimated. Since the image of the number plate may be tilted in a handheld device, the present invention compensates for this by use of the instrument's tilt sensor or through other compensation by use of the image itself.
