Deciphering Severely Degraded License Plates

Extremely low-quality images, on the order of 20 pixels in width, appear with frustrating frequency in many forensic investigations. Even advanced de-noising and super-resolution technologies are unable to extract useful information from such lowquality images. We show, however, that useful information is present in such highly degraded images. We also show that convolutional neural networks ca...

Detection of License Plates of Vehicles

This paper presents an image processing approach for the detection of the vehicle license plate area in digitized photographic images. The algorithm takes a raster image of the rear view of a vehicle as input and yields the segment of the photograph that contains the plate as the output. The developed algorithm is based on three basic processing stages; yellow regions extraction, dilation of ye...

Identification of Saudi Arabian License Plates

Detecting, Tracking and Recognizing License Plates

This paper introduces a novel real-time framework which enables detection, tracking and recognition of license plates from video sequences. An efficient algorithm based on analysis of Maximally Stable Extremal Region (MSER) detection results allows localization of international license plates in single images without the need of any learning scheme. After a one-time detection of a plate it is r...

License Plate Recognition System Based on Color Coding Of License Plates

License Plate Recognition Systems are used to determine the license plate number of a vehicle. The current system mainly uses Optical Character Recognition to recognize the number plate. There are several problems to this system. Some of them include interchanging of several letters or numbers (letter ‘O’ with digit ‘0’), difficulty in localizing the license plate, high error rate, use of diffe...
