Automated License Plate Recognition: A Survey on Methods and Techniques

With the explosive growth in number of vehicles use, automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems are required for a wide range tasks such as law enforcement, surveillance, and toll booth operations. The operational specifications these diverse due to differences intended application. For instance, they may need run on handheld devices or cloud servers, operate low light adverse weather conditions. In order meet requirements, variety techniques have been developed recognition. Even though there has notable improvement current ALPR methods, is requirement be filled complex environment. Thus, many approaches sensitive changes illumination mostly daylight. This study explores methods used recent literature. We present critical constructive analysis related studies field identify open challenge faced by researchers developers. Further, we provide future research directions recommendations optimize solutions work under extreme
