Automatic Number Plate Recognition

S.Kranthi, K.Pranathi, A.Srisaila

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a mass surveillance system that captures the image of vehicles and recognizes their license number. ANPR can be assisted in the detection of stolen vehicles. The detection of stolen vehicles can be done in an efficient manner by using the ANPR systems located in the highways. This paper presents a recognition method in which the vehicle plate image is obtained by the digital cameras and the image is processed to get the number plate information. A rear image of a vehicle is captured and processed using various algorithms. In this context, the number plate area is localized using a novel „feature-based number plate localization‟ method which consists of many algorithms. But our study mainly focusing on the two fast algorithms i.e., Edge Finding Method and Window Filtering Method for the better development of the number plate detection system.
