scholarly journals Residential Area Surveillance and Parking System

The vehicles playing the vital role in our day to day life for transport, and some of the vehicles violates the traffic rules are also increasing, vehicle theft, unnecessary entering into highly restricted areas, increased number of accidents lead to increase in the rate of crime slowly. The vehicle had its own identity it should be recognized which plays the major role in the world. For recognition of the vehicles which are used commonly in the field of safety and security system, LPDR plays a major role and the vehicle registration number is recognized at some certain distance accurately. License Plate recognition is the most efficient and cost effective technique used for detection and recognition purposes. Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is used for finding the location of the license plate in the vehicle. These methods and techniques vary based on the conditions like, quality of the image, vehicle on a fine-tuned position, effects of lighting, type of image, etc. The objective is to design an efficient automatic conveyance identification system of sanctioned or unauthorized in the residential societies by utilizing the conveyance number plate. By getting the car image from the surveillance camera in the entrance, we recognizing the number plate and the characters are extracted using OCR (optical character recognition). It converts the character in the image to plain text. Then the plain text of the license plate is cross-verified with the database to check whether the vehicle belongs to residents or visitor. It sends the alert message to the security official when a new visitor request method in a residential area. The log details are stored separately for the resident and visitor in the database. It also provides the details about the parking area availability in the residential area. By calculating the number of vehicles in and out of the area, the detail or availability parking slot is displayed and it sis robust to the size, lighting effects with high rate of detection.

In today’s world managing the records of attendance of staffs, students, employee or bus is a tedious task. This project focuses on automating the bus attendance process through vehicle license plate recognition. As, the license plate is a feature that is peculiar to every vehicle, it would help in efficiently marking the bus attendance. The bus attendance system using RFID is a time consuming process. Hence we developed a project to efficiently mark attendance using number plate recognition and OCR. The system was trained using faster RCNN model with bus image dataset. The proposed system is the number plate is captured through surveillance camera and the captured image will be passed as an input to the neural network for training and the number plate will be detected. Character extraction is done using OCR and extracted character matched will be checked with the database and the attendance for particular bus will be marked.

The paper proposes a sensors platform to control a barrier that is installed for vehicles entrance. This platform is automatized by image-based license plate recognition of the vehicle. However, in situations where standardized license plates are not used, such image-based recognition becomes non-trivial and challenging due to the variations in license plate background, fonts and deformations. The proposed method first detects the approaching vehicle via ultrasonic sensors and, at the same time, captures its image via a camera installed along with the barrier. From this image, the license plate is automatically extracted and further processed to segment the license plate characters. Finally, these characters are recognized with the help of a standard optical character recognition (OCR) pipeline. The evaluation of the proposed system shows an accuracy of 98% for license plates extraction, 96% for character segmentation and 93% for character recognition.

Automatic License Plate Recognition has been a recurrent research topic due to the increasing number of cameras available in cities, where most of them, if not all, are connected to the Internet. The video traffic generated by the cameras can be analyzed to provide useful insights for the transportation segment. This paper presents the development of an intelligent vehicle identification system based on optical character recognition (OCR) method to be used on intelligent transportation systems. The proposed system makes use of an intelligent parking system named Smart Parking Service (SPANS), which is used to manage public or private spaces. Using computer vision techniques, the SPANS system is used to detect if the parking slots are available or not. The proposed system makes use of SPANS framework to capture images of the parking spaces and identifies the license plate number of the vehicles that are moving around the parking as well as parked in the parking slots. The recognition of the license plate is made in real-time, and the performance of the proposed system is evaluated in real-time.


License plate recognition system plays very important role in various security aspects which includes entry monitoring of a particular vehicle in commercial complex, traffic monitoring , identification of threats and many more. In past few years many different methods has been adopted for license plate recognition system but still there is little more chance to work on real time difficulties which come across while license plate recognition like speed of vehicle, angle of license plate in picture, background of picture or color contrast of image, reflection on the license plate and so on. The combination of object detection, image processing, and pattern recognition are used to fulfill this application. In the proposed architecture , system will capture a small video and using Google's OCR(Optical Character Recognition) system will recognize license number, if that number get found in database gate will get open with the help of Arduino Uno.

This work develops an Android-based robot featuring automatic license plate recognition and automatic license plate patrolling. The automatic license plate recognition feature combines 4 self-developed novel methods, Wiener deconvolution vertical edge enhancement, AdaBoost plus vertical-edge license plate detection, vertical edge projection histogram segmentation stain removal, and customized optical character recognition. Besides, the automatic license plate patrolling feature also integrates 3 novel methods, HL2-band rough license plate detection, orientated license plate approaching, and Ad-Hoc-based remote motion control. Implementation results show the license plate detection rate and recognition rate of the Android-based robot are over 99% and over 98%, respectively, under various scene conditions. Especially, the execution time of license plate recognition, including license plate detection, is only about 0.7 second per frame on the Android-based robot.

<p>License plate recognition (LPR) is one of the classical problems in the field of object recognition. Its application is very crucial in the automation of transportation system since it helps to recognise a vehicle identity, which information is stored in the license plate. LPR usually consists of three major phases: pre-processing, license plate localisation, optical character recognition (OCR). Despite being classical, its implementation faced with much more complicated problems in the real scenario. This paper proposed an improved LPR algorithm based on modified horizontal-vertical edge Projection. The method uses for detecting and localising the region of interest. It is done using the horizontal and vertical projection of the image. Related works proved that the modified horizontal-vertical edge projection is the simplest method to be implemented, yet very effective against Indonesian license plate. However, its performance gets reduced when specular reflection occurs in the sample image. Therefore, morphological operations are utilised in the pre-processing phase to reduce such effects while preserving the needed information. Eighty sample images which captured using various camera configurations were used in this research. Based on the experimental results, our proposed algorithm shows an improvement compared with the previous study and successfully detect 71 license plates in 80 image samples which results in 88.75% accuracy.</p>
