Mammography is the best method for early mass detection. In order to limit the search for abnormalities by Computer Aided Diagnosis systems to the region of the breast without undue influence from the background of the mammogram, extraction of the breast contour and pectoral muscle is necessary. Breast contour helps to find the position of the nipple, which its position is important for mass de...

A vehicle license plate recognition system extracts plate information from a digital image through image processing technology. License plate extraction (LPE) is the premise and key concept of license plate recognition systems. In China, two-row license plates are yellow and dirty. Thus, a novel license plate extraction method based on CIELab color space is proposed in this paper. The method in...

In recent years, many researches on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been reported. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is one form of ITS technology that not only recognizes and counts vehicles, but distinguishes each as unique by recognizing and recording the license plate’s characters. This paper discusses the main techniques of ALPR. Several open problems are proposed at...

The first processing step in any automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system is the detection of the plates. The presented approach to plate detection makes use of a robust binarization scheme. The contributions of this paper are twofold: We present our approach to license plate detection, which is based on Niblack’s binarization scheme. To improve the binarization we propose a theoretical...

Received Nov 11, 2017 Revised Jan 15, 2018 Accepted Feb 1, 2018 License Plate Recognition (LPR) is the mission of identifying the vehicle using number plate extraction. An efficient method for recognizing plate based on Undecimated Wavelet Transform (UWT) is proposed. Plates are recognized using features from undecimated coefficients in this system. Morphological edge detection technique is use...

Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) has many applications in traffic systems (highway electronic toll collection, red light violation enforcement, border and customs checkpoints, etc.). License Plate Recognition is an effective form of AVI systems. In this study, a smart and simple algorithm is presented for vehicle’s license plate recognition system. The proposed algorithm consists of three...

License plate matching plays an important role in applications like law enforcement and road pricing where the plate is first recognized and then compared to a database of authorized vehicle plates. If an entity with a license plate wants to find a match in the license plates database which is in the possession of another entity; matching in the encrypted domain ensures that the privacy of data...

It is believed that there are currently millions of vehicles on the roads worldwide. The over speed of vehicles ,theft of vehicles, disobeying traffic rules in public, an unauthorized person entering the restricted area are keep on increasing. In order restrict against these criminal activities, we need an automatic public security system. Each vehicle has their own Vehicle Identification Numbe...

Automatic License Plate Recognition system is a real time embedded system which automatically recognizes the license plate of vehicles. There are many applications ranging from complex security systems to common areas and from parking admission to urban traffic control. Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) has complex characteristics due to diverse effects such as of light and speed. Most...
