In this paper, we present a new design flow for robust license plate localization and recognition. The algorithm consists of three stages: 1) license plate localization; 2) character segmentation; and 3) feature extraction and character recognition. The algorithm uses Mexican hat operator for edge detection and Euler number of a binary image for identifying the license plate region. A pre-proce...

In this paper, the “character recognition” approach to recognizing a vehicle license plate is used for localizing Saudi license plates. The proposed algorithm filters out all possible objects from the license plate image and focuses on the resulting objects. The coordinates of the center point of the bounding box for these objects is calculated and then possible alignments between these objects...

Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) systems can be found in many different applications. If a person has driving license, the probably had already seen smart road camera after speed limit sign or on crossroad. Every year number of cars roads growth very fast. It is also obvious that such used out-of-road situations. For instance, this type for automatic access control private property pa...
