This paper proposes to use the method of edge detection, morphology, and dynamic image thickening for license plate extraction from images. In the proposed algorithm, a different thickening is used for rear and front parts of the image; besides, to increase the segmentation rate, determination of the license plate frame using standard deviation in the vertical histogram diagram is suggested.

Car license plate detection has been always a challenging task in the context of traffic control and traffic offenses. In this paper, the problem of license plate detection from gray scale images taken in natural conditions is addressed. Our car plate database consists of images with severe imaging conditions such as low quality images, far distanced cameras, and severe weather conditions. The ...
