Characters Recognition Image binarization: * Image of the vehicle number plate captured from the camera is converted to the grascaled image. * Image consisting characterstics from A to Z and numbers from 0 to 9. * Binary image consisting of only 1’s and 0’s (only black and white ). * The essential point for binarization is the threshoulding . * By thresholding the pixel values of 0 (black) for all Of image with luminance less than threshold Value and 1(white) for all other pixels.
Characters segmentation In the segmentation of the plate characters , the vehicle number plate is segmented in to its constitutes to obtain its characters individually . Image filtering from unwanted spots and noise . Dilation of image to separate characters from each others .
Separating the plate characters It is done by finding starting and end points of characters in horizontal direction. T S B T 3 3 8 9
Normalization of characters Normalization is to refine the characters into a block containing no extra white space (pixels) in all four sides of the characters. Sometimes called contrast stretching . Then each character should be equal in size . TSBT3389
Below an example of normalized character where the character fill all the four sides. s
Character recognition To recognize the plate , we use artificial neural network . ANN is designed to recognize 2 6 characters of letters and 10 characters of number. Two ANN topology are designed to recognize letter and number . The designed ANN is a superwised learning network , which is able to recognize input matrix for example : in size 1326 *n
APPLICATIONS Traffic signals Border crossings Automobile repossessions recognize customers based on their license plate
CONCLUSION To detect a number plate registritation in easy way. It reduces time duration in this process . It is very reliable .
