scholarly journals Vehicle Number Plate Recognition using Micro Processor

An automatic license number plate recognition system that uses image processing technology for identifying the written characters and numbers on the vehicle’ license plate. The system can be used in highly secured areas to provide more safety, and can be used in parking, traffic, and other places to monitor all vehicle’s number plate in a predefined area. The character is recognized by the OCR technology that is optical character recognition system. It generates the vehicle’s license plate number in a text format. The recognized number from the license plate then can be used to retrieve more information about the vehicle and the owner.

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.

Vehicle License plate recognition system includes license plate location, character segmentation, character recognition three important aspects. Image Processing is the VLPRS is one of the three key technologies, this gray-scale transformation of the image, contrast enhancement, image smoothing, edge detection, binarization and other methods were discussed and studied through the Image Processing technology to improve image Quality, strengthen the image area. Experimental results show that this treatment method is simple, real time, dealing with the right rate to achieve a practical standard.


This paper discusses about License plate recognition using digital processing of images, where the image of a vehicle is taken and the number plate is then recognized by various layers of digital image processing. The number plate is then allowed to undergo optical character recognition (OCR), this extracts the data and then compares it with a database containing the details of the vehicle. This allows the user to identify the type of vehicle and the identity of the person who is driving the vehicle. It will denote the user about the registration of the vehicle by comparing it with the database of the registered vehicle in the area. The device will consist of a camera which will take the real time footage of the vehicles and a snap from the video of the vehicle is used to recognize the number plate. The processor will process the images and will display the number of the vehicle and the owner of the vehicle in the display, this is achieved by comparing the number of the vehicle with the previously fed data from the database. This device will provide an efficient way for automating a parking system where there will be no need for a human to interfere with the checking of the vehicle and providing passes for the vehicle.

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.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a specialized type of Optical Character Recognition System (OCR). It is a method of reading a vehicle's license plate using OCR to create vehicle registry or location data. ANPR is utilized by a variety of agencies around the world to enforce the law, including determining whether a vehicle is registered or not. Government entities, such as highways agencies, can categorize traffic movements for computerized toll collection. Images of the text from the license plate can be stored and processed using the ANPR system. Infrared cameras are often employed to take photographs in any lighting condition, whether it is day or night. To be more accurate ANPR technology should also consider plate variations from place to place.
