Automatic license/number plate recognition is a specific application of optical character recognition. Typically employed by law enforcement agencies, the uses for automatic license plate recognition have grown tremendously since its inception. Automatic license plate recognition may be used to cite individuals who violate traffic signals or drive in excess of the speed limit, as a method of el...

This paper presents a novel method of identifying and recognizing license plates, required by an automatic vehicle identification system. The main challenge was the isolation of the car’s license plate, from the digital image acquired by the video system, under different illumination conditions and various angles. Thus, we have established the required preprocessing operations leading to succes...

⎯ This paper presents an automatic license plate recognition algorithm by using webcam. The images of vehicle license plate, which were captured by using webcam are noised, illuminated and skewed under natural environment. We have to preprocess to get clean binary image and extract each character area to recognize numbers. But they are not simple jobs. In this paper, the high-speed and sophisti...

One of the most significant parts integrating computer technologies into intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is vehicle license plate recognition (VLPR). In cases, however, to recognize a successfully, location be determined first. Vehicle License Plate Recognition are used by law enforcement agencies, traffic management control and various government non-government agencies. VLPR in comme...

Automatic License Plate Recognition system is a real time embedded system which automatically recognizes the license plate of vehicles. There are many applications ranging from complex security systems to common areas and from parking admission to urban traffic control. Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) has complex characteristics due to diverse effects such as of light and speed. Most...

In the today scenario technological intelligence is a higher demand after commodity even in traffic-based systems. These intelligent systems do not only help in traffic monitoring but also in commuter safety, law enforcement and commercial applications. The proposed Saudi Arabia Vehicle License plate recognition system splits into three major parts, firstly extraction of a license plate region ...

Automatic vehicle Make and Model Recognition (MMR) systems provide useful performance enhancements to vehicle recognitions systems that are solely based on Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems. Several car MMR systems have been proposed in literature. However these approaches are based on feature detection algorithms that can perform sub-optimally under adverse lighting and/or occ...
