Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is one of the most important aspects of applying computer techniques towards intelligent transportation systems. In order to recognize a license plate efficiently, however, the location of the license plate, in most cases, must be detected in the first place. Due to this reason, detecting the accurate location of a license plate from a vehicle image is...

A vehicle’s license plate is the unique feature by which to identify each individual vehicle. As an important research area of an intelligent transportation system, the recognition of vehicle license plates has been investigated for some decades. An approach based on a visual attention model and deep learning is proposed to handle the problem of Chinese car license plate recognition for traffic...

This paper proposes a smart anti-theft car security system, which not only identifies thief but also controls the car. The proposed system consists of embedded control platform, face recognition system, GPS(Global Positioning System) and MMS(Multimedia Messaging Service) modules used for preventing loss of vehicle. The paper introduces Weber Law Descriptor(WLD) for robust face recognition syste...

Vehicle identification plays important role in Intelligent Transportation System. Vehicle is identified uniquely by its number plate. It is used for applications like identification of authorized vehicles, providing controlled access to restricted areas, and law enforcement. In the proposed system the license number of the car is checked against the database of authorized users and only authori...

In this paper we present a novel solutions for microphone array based car kit systems that intelligently uses the multipath environment to enhance signal coming from a desired location. Our solution requires a low computational load, and can be deployed on most of the platforms. We present speech recognition rates on real data, and compare a stereo versus a mono solution on this database.

In the Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR), Plate Number Location and Character segmentation are very important parts of an ANPR system before Recognition part. In this paper, plate number localization and character segmentation using mathematical morphological approach and regional features of images are discussed from the proposed ANPR system of vehicles in Tanzania. The proposed...

In this paper, a license plate detection system is implemented. For this purpose, we improve the contrast at possible locations where there might be a license plate, we propose a filtering method called ''region-based'' in order to smooth the uniform and background areas of an image, we apply the Sobel operator and morphological filtering to extract the vertical edges and the candidate regions ...
