We propose a novel method for license plate detection in nighttime videos with complicated background scenes. The proposed method use multi-features-based combination way in the residual edge image. Our work firstly is color space conversion from RGB to La*b* color space and get enhancement L component of license plate image, then extract out multi-features of license plate, thirdly, multi-feat...

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) became a very important tool in our daily life because of the unlimited increase of cars and transportation systems, which make it impossible to be fully managed and monitored by humans. Examples are so many, like traffic monitoring, tracking stolen cars, managing parking toll, red-light violation enforcement, border and customs checkpoints. Yet, it’s a...

Vehicle License Plate Identification and Recognition (VLPIR) uses image processing and character recognition technology in order to identify the license plate number automatically. VLPIR system are used for the purpose of effective traffic control, security applications such as access control to restricted areas and tracking of car, tracing of stolen cars, identification of dangerous and reckle...

Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems capture a vehicle‟s license plate and recognize the license number and other required information from the captured image. ALPR systems have numbers of significant applications: law enforcement, public safety agencies, toll gate systems, etc. The goal of these systems is to recognize the characters and state on the license plate with high accur...

Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system for vehicles is a challenging area of research due to its importance to a wide range of commercial applications. The first and the most important stage for any ALPR system is the localization of the license plate within the image captured by a camera. Variety of techniques has already been reported for localization of license plate and recogniti...

This paper propose the robust character segmentation method for license plate with topological transform such as twist, rotation. The first step of the proposed method is to find a candidate region for character and license plate. The character or license plate must be appeared as closed loop in the edge image. In the case of detecting candidate for character region, the evaluation of detected ...

Vehicle License Plate Detection (LPD) is an important step for the vehicle plate recognition which can be used in the intelligent transport systems. Many methods have been proposed for the detection of license plates based on: Mathematical morphology, Discrete Wavelet Transform, Hough Transform and others. In general, an LPR system includes four main parts: Vehicle image acquisition, license pl...

This paper provides a new and fast method for matching and recognition of characters in Arabic license plate images. For this purpose, various methods have been proposed in literature. However, most of them suffer from: sensitivity to non-uniform illumination distribution, existence of shade in license plate, license plate color and the need for receiving an exact image of the license plate. Th...
