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.

In order to reduce the traffic jam, save time and to diminish the money loss of 300 crores/year, an automated system is proposed; The intelligent traffic control management systems which explains the installation of automation in toll plazas, which is a step towards improving the monitoring of vehicles. The main purpose of this arrangement is to implement a system, which automatically identifies an approaching vehicle and records the vehicles number and time. If the vehicle belongs to an authorized person, the toll gate opens automatically and a predetermined amount is deducted from the user account, which leads to reduce the Traffic clogging at toll plazas. The vehicle number plate recognition is done only for authorized members. The proposed model consists of image digitization, edge detection, character detection and recognition with the payment transaction. The proposed method uses morphological edge detection , for the system to identify the character recognition and it uses template matching; it is done for license plates of 6 characters. The license plate character recognition system can be used in vehicle check -in and checkout monitoring system in hotels, malls and can be used to track vehicles on normal roads other than toll booths to avoid thefts.

In order to achieve the exact location and character recognition of license plate, firstly, this paper got binary image of license plate and done edge detection with differential operation. Secondly, it searched the license plate binary image after difference for the horizontal and vertical cut point, and determined the best cutting threshold through the experiment. Finally, it made the character segmentation by vertical projection, the recognition of license plate characters with the use of BP neural network, whose overall recognition rate is at 95.3%, and the display interface design for program transfer and results display. The experimental results showed that the location of license plate was exact and the character recognition rate was high.

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

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.

<p>License Plate Recognition (LPR) system is an application of computer vision and image processing technology that takes video of vehicles and take the vehicle frame as input image and by extracting their number plate from whole vehicle image, it displays the number plate information into text. The overall accuracy and efficiency of whole LPR system depends on number plate extraction phase as character segmentation and character recognition phases are also depend on the output of this phase. Higher be the quality of captured input vehicle image more will be the chances of proper extraction of vehicle number plate area. The approach used to segment the image is bilateral filtering algorithm and canny edge detection algorithm. Then we predict the license plate from processed image using py–tesseract OCR and match the retrieved text which is vehicle number plate with database. Finally we get the details of the particular vehicle from the database.</p>

The coal-rock interface recognition is one of the critical automated technologies in the fully mechanized mining face. The poor working conditions underground result in the seriously polluted edge information of the coal-rock interface, which affects the positioning precision of the shearer drum. The Gaussian filter parameters and the high-low thresholds are difficult to select in the traditional Canny algorithm, which causes the information loss of gradual edge and the phenomenon of false edge. Consequently, this paper presents an improved Canny edge detection algorithm, which adopts the adaptive median filtering algorithm to calculate the thresholds of Canny algorithm according to the grayscale mean and variance mean. This algorithm can protect the image edge details better and can restrain the blurred image edge. Experimental results show that this algorithm has improved the edge extraction effect under the case of noise interference and improved the detection precision and accuracy of the coal-rock image effectively.
