Indian License Plate and Vehicle Type Recognition

Abstract:

In light of the growing number of vehicles, automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems are much needed. The ALPR system is a widely used technology for various vehicle management processes such as law enforcement, surveillance, toll booth operations, parking lots, etc. We propose a license plate recognition system, where a neural network concept is applied. This system includes image pre-processing which helps to quickly and easily locate, segment and recognize the license plate characters, so image pre-processing is one of the important factors that affect total system performance. As we are performing the character segmentation of the license plate, the accuracy of the character recognition increases. In India, license plates are not only different in shape and size but also have different colours according to the registration or license number in India. There are 8 types of license plates in total issued by the RTO. In this effort, we identify the type of license plate by detecting the colour of the license plate. Thus vehicle registration types are recognized from the colour of the license plate detected.
