A New and Efficient Method for Vehicle License Plate Detection

The Vehicle Licence plate Detection Method has many applications like cars parking in hotels, traffic signal violation, electronic toll collections and border crossing vehicle etc. Any detection method has some major challenges like Licences plates have arbitrary sizes, orientations, complex backgrounds and localization of licence plates. In this paper a new vehicle licence plate detection method is presented which is mainly based on localization of licence plate and recognition of characters. License Plate localization is the main challenge in the successful License plate recognition and an efficient method is employed for successful License plate extraction from the captured image. This paper presents the various steps of automatic plate localization of Cars License Plate Recognition system. In the proposed method recognition of character contains four parts which successfully recognize license plate. And finally, the proposed method is robust and efficient in all conditions.
