There are far more cars on the road now than there used to be. Therefore, Controlling and managing the huge volume of traffic is virtually impossible without the use of computer technology. This paper represents design and implement of an intelligent system for license plate recognition based on three main steps. This process includes the detection of license plate location, character segmentation and character recognition. In this study, we used Classifier svm to detect the characters. According to the results, the performance of the proposed system is better compared to similar algorithms such as neural network. It is worth mentioning that Recognition Approach is tested in various conditions and results are described.   Keyword- Vehicle license plate recognition, Morphology Operations, Histogram, The edge detection, Classifier SVMDOI: 10.18495/comengapp.21.161174

At present, the traffic engineering and automation have developed, and the vehicle license plate recognition technology need get a corresponding improvement also. In case of identifying a car license picture, the principle of automatic license plate recognition is illustrated in this paper, and the processing is described in detail which includes the pre-processing, the edge extraction, the license plate location, the character segmentation, the character recognition. The program implementing recognition is edited by Matlab. The example result shows that the recognition method is feasible, and it can be put into practice.

The vehicle license plate recognition system is the intelligent traffic management system based on the image and the character recognition technology, which is an important part of the intelligent transportation system. This paper introduces a method of vehicle license plate location based on edge detection and morphological operations, virtual instrument is combined with machine vision of the license plate recognition method [1]. Finally the license plate number of the vehicle is get. Experiment results show that such method can simplify the algorithm and has some correct location rate.

License plate recognition system (LPR) plays a vital role in intelligent transport systems to build up smart environments. Numerous country specific methods have been proposed successfully for an LPR system, but there is a need to find a generalized solution that is independent of license plate layout. The proposed architecture is comprised of two important LPR stages: (i) License plate character segmentation (LPCS) and (ii) License plate character recognition (LPCR). A foreground polarity detection model is proposed by using a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) channel-based color map in order to segment and recognize the LP characters effectively at both LPCS and LPCR stages respectively. Further, a multi-channel CNN framework with layer aggregation module is proposed to extract deep features, and support vector machine is used to produce target labels. Multi-channel processing with merged features from different-level convolutional layers makes output feature map more expressive. Experimental results show that the proposed method is capable of achieving high recognition rate for multinational vehicles license plates under various illumination conditions.

In recent years, there has been expanding development in the vehicular part and the number of vehicles moving on the road in all the sections of the country. Vehicle number plate identification based on image processing is a dynamic area of this work; this technique is used for security purposes such as tracking of stolen cars and access control to restricted areas. The License Plate Recognition System (LPRS) exploits a digital camera to capture vehicle plate numbers is used as input to the proposed recognition system. Basically, the developing system is consist of three phases, vehicle license plate localization, character segmentation, and character recognition, the License Plate (LP) detection is presented using canny Edge detection algorithm, Connect Component Analysis (CCA) have been exploited for segmenting characters. Finally, a Multi-Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (MLPANN) model is utilized to recognize and detect the vehicle license plate characters, and hence the results are displayed as a text on GUI. The proposed system successfully identified and recognized multi_style Iraqi license plates using different image situations and it was evaluated based on different metrics performance, achieving an overall system performance of 91.99%. This results shows the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with other existing methods, whose average recognition rate is 86% and the average processing time of one image is 0.242s which proves the practicality of the proposed method.

The license plate location method is the key technology of license plate recognition system, new algorithm is proposed based on LOG operator detecting edge of License Plate Location. First, a large number of color plate images are preprocessed to remove the background interference information, and then rough location of license plate based on block method, search area of plate will be greatly reduced and accurate positioning the plate will be realized by LOG operator combined with projection method. Static license plate image positioning by simulation and analysis show that the method has high accuracy in license plate location.

Image processing-based vehicle recognition is one of the important research fields in ITS. The existing methods are all based on license plate recognition and car shape recognition. Their common problem is algorithm stability. And the license plates are easy to be changed. All information about vehicles should be used to recognize them reliably. A problem to be solved is to find a method to recognize vehicles besides license plate recognition and vehicle model recognition. Vehicle license plate location and character segmentation are critical steps in the license plate recognition system, and yet there are difficult problems to be solved.
