Automatic Vehicle Number Plate Recognition System

Abstract

The goal of our project is to design an intelligent device that can detect the number plates of the vehicles
which can be used to identify vehicles across the nation without the intervention of human beings. There are many
applications for vehicle number plate detection. They range from complex security systems to simple day-to-day
applications such as parking systems. Most of the times the recognition of the number plate is done manually .To make
this process less complicated we can make this process automatic by using image processing by MATLAB programming.
Vehicle number plate detection has complex characteristics due to the effects of smog, fog, rain, irregular lightings,
velocity of the vehicle, conversion of numbers to other languages and number of vehicles in the scene. In this project of
number plate detection the spectral approach can be used for acquiring the image, extraction of the region of the number
plate, character segmentation by extraction techniques. All the steps of this process are considered to achieve an efficient
and automatic identification of numbers. The usefulness and efficiency of the proposed system is being demonstrated
