Introduction:
The number of vehicles is increasing day by day in our life. The vehicle may violate traffic rules
and cause accidents. The automatic number plate detection system (ANPR) plays a significant role to identify these
vehicles. Number plate detection is very difficult sometimes because each country has its own format for representing the
number plate and font types and sizes may also vary for different vehicles. The number of ANPR systems is available
nowadays but still, it is a big problem to detect the number plate correctly in various scenarios like high-speed vehicle,
number plate language, etc.
Methods:
In the development of this method, we mainly used wiener filter for noise removal, morphological operations
for number plate localization, connected component algorithm for character segmentation, and template based matching
for character recognition.
Results:
Our proposed methodology is providing promising results in terms of detection accuracy.
Discussion:
The automatic number plate detection system (ANPR) has wide range of applications because the license
number is the crucial, commonly putative and essential identifier of motor vehicles. These applications include ticketless
parking fee management, parking access automation, car theft prevention, security guide assistance, Motorway Road
Tolling, Border Control, Journey Time Measurement, Law Enforcement and many more.
Conclusion:
In this paper, an enhanced approach of automatic number plate detection system is proposed using some
different techniques which not only detect the number plate of the vehicle but also recognize each character present in the
detected number plate image.
