Design and Development of Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) System to Improve Parking Lot Management

Abstract:

In this paper, we design and develop Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) System, which is one part of comprehensive video management platform for parking lot. Combined with intelligent video analysis module, the proposed VLPR system can not only capture the license plates of those vehicles through ENTRANCE and EXIT of parking lot, but also recognize the contents of the captured license plates. In addition, the driver and passenger in the front row of the vehicle can be captured too. The capture subsystem operates well on embedded Linux environment running on Hi3516 SoC chip, and test results of the VLPR system meet the requirements of accuracy and real-time field applications. The VLPR system is easy to expand and modified for other Management Information System to realize functions like personnel management, vehicle tracking, and more automatic and intelligent functions of parking lot management.
