scholarly journals Intelligent Parking System

As a key part of Automated vehicle technology Intelligent Parking System has become a popular research topic. Intelligent Parking System can grant permission to access the parking area with less human inference. This system can capture image of the vehicle, identify the type of vehicle and allot best fit and optimal parking slot based on its size. It extracts the vehicle’s License plate number, entry time, exit time and calculate total time of the vehicle present with in the parking space. Here, sensors are utilized to identify the presence of the vehicle during entry and exit. Two cameras are utilized to extract features. One camera is used to identify the Region of Interest, Vehicle license plate and identify the characters from the license plate. Tesseract Engine and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functions are used to detect characters from the image. Another camera is utilized to extract features like dimensions of the vehicle using machine learning operations such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Based on the size of the vehicle, best fit parking slot is allotted which gives optimal usage of parking area. These days the quantity of vehicles is expanding exceptionally, so that, searching for an empty parking slot turns out to be increasingly troublesome. By installing the Intelligent Parking System, in places like, shopping malls, train stations, and airports the need for searching of parking slot significantly reduces. A past study has demonstrated that traffic because of vehicle’s parking slot searching in downtowns of significant urban communities can represent half of the absolute traffic. With such a hefty traffic jam and time delay in parking slot identifying, Intelligent Parking System will be in great demand

The aim of this project is to design an Automated Detection of License Plate (ADLP) system based on image processing techniques. There are two techniques that are commonly used in detecting the target, which are the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the split and merge segmentation. Basically, the OCR technique performs the operation using individual character of the license plate with alphanumeri characteristic. While, the split and merge segmentation technique split the image of captured plate into a region of interest. These two techniques are utilized and implemented using MATLAB software and the performance of detection is tested on the image and a comparison is done between both techniques. The results show that both techniques can perform well for license plate with some error.

<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>


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.

License plate recognition is an application-specific optimization in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software which enables computer systems to read automatically the License Plates of vehicles from digital images. This thesis discusses the character extraction from the respective License Plates of vehicles and problems in the character extraction process. An OCR based training algorithm named k-nearest neighbor with predefined OpenCV libraries is implemented and evaluated in the BeagleBone Black Open Hardware. In an OCR, the character extraction involves certain steps which include Image acquisition, Pre-processing, Feature extraction, Detection/ Segmentation, High-level processing, Decision making. A key advantage of the method is that it is a fairly straightforward technique which utilizes from k-nearest neighbor algorithm segments normalized result as a format in text. The results show that training an image with this algorithm gives better results when compared with other algorithms.
