Mateusz Nawrocki Design and Implementation of Algorithms for Vehicle

The number of threats in todays world increases steadily. Due to that fact governments in many countries try to counteract. The homeland security becomes more and more significant position in their budgets. Not only police forces are strengthen, but also many intelligent systems collecting data about the citizens are developed. Automatic license plate recognition systems are one of them. They are widely discussed in the literature – many relevant articles are published around the world. In addition to that, todays processors are powerful enough to cope with approaches, which have been impossible for implementation quite recently. The ability of processing enormous quantities of data enables to build systems that can track and identify every car that passes by. Within this work the effort for creating such a system was made. The general idea that is behind is to monitor the movement of each vehicle in the city. There are five goals to achieve: 1. Work in real time. 2. Autonomy of the system, no human operator is needed to assist the recognition process. 3. Identification of every vehicle, that passes by. 4. Ability to work under in different weather conditions. 5. Ability to identify plates from different countries.
