Extraction of License Plate Region in License Plate Recognition System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Extraction of License plate region is an important stage in the intelligent vehicle license plate recognition system. A practical license plate extraction algorithm based on edge detection and mathematical morphology is presented, the algorithm mainly consists of six modules: pre-processing, edge detection, binaryzation and denoising, morphology operation, filtration of connected regions, finding license plate region. From the experiments, the algorithm can detect the region of license plate quickly with 98% average accuracy of locating vehicle license plate region.
