License Number Recognition of A Vehicle Using MATLAB

The document discusses license plate recognition of vehicles using MATLAB by outlining the aim, introduction, elements, algorithms, and operation of license plate recognition systems which use image processing techniques like smearing, edge detection, filtering, and optical character recognition to extract the license plate region from a vehicle image and recognize the characters for purposes like law enforcement, parking, and toll collection. Key steps involve preprocessing the image, locating the license plate, segmenting characters, and recognizing them using techniques like template matching and neural networks.

Aim:

Recognition of license number of a


vehicle by the detection of its license plate
from the vehicle image captured by the
camera using MATLAB programming.
Introduction:
What is LPR……………….?
License Plate Recognition
{LPR}
 LPR {License Plate Recognition} is
an image-processing technology used
to identify vehicles by their license
plates.
 This technology is used in various
security and traffic applications.
Also Called As:
 Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI)
 Car Plate Recognition (CPR)
 Automatic Number Plate Recognition
(ANPR)
 Car Plate Reader (CPR)
 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for
Cars
Elements of LPR
License-Plate Recognition System
consists of three main modules:

 Extraction of plate region


 Character segmentation
 Optical Character Recognition
Algorithms:
 Extraction of plate region
Smearing Algorithm
Edge Detection Algorithm
 Character segmentation
Filtering Algorithm
Morphological Algorithm
 Optical Character Recognition Statistical
Algorithm
Template Matching
Operation:
 Image captured from the camera is first
converted to the binary image {only
black and white} consisting of only 1’s
and 0’s by thresholding the pixel values
of 0 (black) for all pixels in the input
image with luminance less than threshold
value and 1 (white) for all other pixels.
Extraction of Plate Region
To find the plate region, firstly smearing
algorithm is used.
Smearing Algorithm: It is a method of
extraction of text areas on a mixed
image. The image is processed along
vertical and horizontal runs. If the
number of white pixels is less than a
desired threshold or greater than any
other desired threshold, white pixels are

Image

The image is
converted into
binary coding &
smearing is applied.

Fig{2}: After
smearing algorithm
After smearing, a morphological operation, dilation, is
applied to the image for specifying the plate location.
However, there may be more than one candidate region for
plate location. To find the exact region and eliminate the other
regions, some criteria tests are applied to the image by
smearing and filtering operation. The processed image after
this stage is as shown in Figure 2(a) and image involving only
plate is shown in Figure 2(b).
After obtaining plate location, region involving only
plate is
cut giving the plate as shown in Figure 3.
