Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates. It has advantages like improving road safety, reducing crime, and deterring terrorism. The process involves detecting vehicles, capturing images of license plates, and recognizing the characters. Challenges include image blurring and low resolution affecting recognition accuracy.

Introduction
 A vehicleregistration plate is a
metal or a plastic plate attached
to a motor vehicle for official
identification purposes.

 The license plates are placed on


the front and back of the vehicle.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

 ANPR is an image –processing


technology which is used to identify
vehicles by their number plates using
Optical Character Recognition.

 This technology is used in various


security and traffic applications such
as access-control system.
Various names of this technology are:

 License Plate Recognition(LPR)

 Car Registration System(CRS)

 Intelligent Transport System(ITS)


Seven Elements In ANPR
1. Camera
2. Illumination
3. Frame grabber
4. Computer
5. Software
6. Hardware
7. Database
Camera - normally a PC running Windows or Linux. It runs the LPR application which
controls the system, reads the images, analyzes and identifies the plate, and interfaces with
other applications and systems.

• Software - the application and the recognition package. Usually the recognition package
is supplied as a DLL.

• Hardware - various input/output boards used to interface the external world (such as
control boards and networking boards).

• Database - the events are recorded on a local database or transmitted over the network.
Working

The ANPR Process is divided into three steps:

 Detection of vehicle.

 Capture of images.

 Process of recognition.
Detection Of Vehicles

 The vehicle approaches the


secured area and the process
starts when the vehicle steps
over a magnetic loop detector.

 The loop detector senses the


car and it’s presence is
signaled to the ANPR unit.
Capture of Images

 The ANPR unit activates the


illumination and takes pictures of
the front and rear plates using
ANPR camera.

 The images of the vehicle is read by


the ANPR unit’s image processing
hardware or the frame grabber.


ADVANTAGES

 Improving rode.
 reduces crime.
 gives officers better information to work with.
 deterring terrorism.
 giving a greater police presence.
 increasing the percentage of stop/searches that lead to an arrest.
Disadvantages

 Firstly, the images of the number plate or of any


object which is taken by using the optical character
reader technology may get blurred mainly due to the
reason of motion blurring for which the picture seems
to be hazy when uploaded in the database.

 Secondly, the technology often uses low-resolution


images for which the images are not actually visible
properly in every case.
CONCLUSION

 There is an immediate need of such kind of Automatic


Number Plate Recognition system in India as there are
problems of traffic, stealing cars etc.

 Government should take some interest in developing this


system as this system is very economical and eco-friendly,
if applied effectively

 This change will help in the progress of the nation.
