Vehicle Number Plate Recognition System

This document describes a vehicle number plate recognition system developed by a group of students. It contains 3 sections: 1. A description of the project which is to automatically read vehicle number plates for law enforcement purposes. 2. A description of the dataset containing 50 images of number plates from different countries with varying qualities. 3. The methodology used which includes preprocessing the images, extracting the plate region, segmenting the characters, and recognizing the characters in 3 main steps based on a referenced paper. It also includes a flowchart outlining the process.

1 Description Of Project
Number Plate Recognition system is a technology for automatically reading vehicle number plates.
It is used by police forces around the world for law enforcement purposes, including to check
if a vehicle is registered or licensed. It is also used for controlling traffic over the roads, Petrol
Pumps, Shopping Malls, Airports, highways, toll booths, Hotels, Hospitals, Parking lots, Defense
Military check points etc.
We took approach for the recognition of number plate using MATLAB Image Processing. Many
a times images are noisy, different countries have different patterns for license plates. This makes
the task very difficult. So it becomes very important to select proper algorithm for this purpose.

2 Description Of Dataset
In our dataset we have used number plates of different countries which have different patterns.
The dataset contains images from a real life source. We used our own pictures. Dataset contains
50 images. There are two attributes in total. Alphabetic images and car images. About 17 im-
ages are from category car Images and the rest of the 23 are form Alphabetic Images. The di-
mension of each images are xed to 24*42 by preprocessing.

3 Methodology
Basically, we implemented the method that paper [1] proposed. Our implemented model includes
three main steps:

1. localization of the plate

2. segmentation of the characters

3. detection

put.
