The license plate recognition system is part of the intelligent transportation system. In the intelligent transportation system, the vehicle image is used as the system input. The first step is to improve the image, after the edge detection, a series of morphological operations are performed to identify the plaque. The main purpose of this research was to increase the importance of plate re...

Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is the extraction of vehicle license plate information from an image or a sequence of images. The extracted information can be used with or without a database in many applications, such as electronic payment systems (toll payment, parking fee payment), and freeway and arterial monitoring systems for traffic surveillance. It is widely used in various ar...

Recognition of license plate images is the topic of this paper. The major issue in this problem is the accurate extraction of the license plate character string from varying backgrounds using processing techniques that are reasonably fast. The images are also characterized by non-uniform illumination. Recognition of the string is relatively straightforward, if the extraction process has been co...

In this paper, a new low cost Arabic vehicle license plate recognition (LPR) method is proposed which is easily extendable to other plates. A novel LP segmentation technique with three sets of feature vectors was used with template matching to form the two main modules: license plate localization module and LPR module. This method was tested on more than 238 vehicle images taken from various sc...

The vehicle license plate recognition system has greater efficiency for vehicle monitoring in automatic zone access control. This Plate recognition system will avoid special tags, since all vehicles possess a unique registration number plate. A number of techniques have been used for car plate characters recognition. This system uses neural network character recognition and pattern matching of ...

Vehicle license plate recognition is an image-processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates. This technology can be used in various security and traffic applications, such as finding stolen cars, controlling access to car parks and gathering traffic flow statistics. In this paper an approach to license plate localization and recognition is presented. A proposed method ...

__________________________________________________________________________ Existing vehicle license plate identification and recognition systems are potent for either their accuracy or speed but not a combination of both. The algorithm proposed in this dissertation attempts to achieve this fine balance between the accuracy and speed that such a system must posses. The mathematical morphology op...

Automatic license plate detection and recognition has numerous applications. A large number of schemes have already been proposed in order to make the detection and recognition process efficient. However, a very little work has been done on Bengali license plate recognition. Wide variation among the license plate patterns, complex background, and the difficulty in segmenting Bengali characters ...

Support Vector Machine (SVM) as an important theory of machine learning and patternrecognition has been well applied to small sample clustering learning, nonlinear problems, outlierdetection and so on. The license plate automation recognition system has received extensiveattention as an important application of machine learning and pattern recognition in intelligent transport.The license plate ...
