License Plate Detection

The character segmentation and perspective rectification of Vehicle License Plate (VLP) is essential in different applications, including traffic monitoring, car parking, stolen vehicle recovery, and toll payment. The character segmentation of the VLP and its horizontal as well as vertical (pan and tilt) correction is a crucial operation. It has considerable impact on the precision of the vehicle identification process. In this work, we investigate an effective framework for the perspective rectification and homography correction of vehicle's images. The captured images of the vehicle could be tilted in vertical or horizontal or vertical-horizontal mix directions due to different movements. For reasonable high identification results, a polynomial fitting based homography correction method for rectifying the tilted VLPs is applied. A method for determining four corner points of the rotated VPLs is explored. These four detected corner points are applied in the homography correction algorithm. For comprehensively evaluating the performance of the proposed framework, the detected VLPs in various directions, such as horizontal, vertical, and mix horizontal-vertical, are rotated. For the experiments, the real images of the vehicles in the outdoor environment, from different directions and different distances are captured. With our proposed method, we achieve an accuracy of 97 % and 95 % for the simulated and real captured images, respectively.

As the significance of open transportation framework expands a programmed license plate recognition (ALPR) has ended up being a critical examination issue. It is getting to be hard to monitor every vehicle for motivation behind law implementation and movement administration. ALPR prepared in numerous wise observation frameworks like, traffic management, security administration, programmed toll gathering framework and so forth. A number of methods have been proposed for license plate detection, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. The basic step in ALPR is accurate localization of number plate, segmentation, recognition. Algorithm for Automatic License Plate Recognition system have been developed for college premises successfully for image and video data. GMM based algorithm was carried out for extraction of license plates from video data by integrating the different controlling parameters. License plates are detected from a video frame effectively by using Harris corner detector. Segmentation results achieved was good by utilizing integrated approach of controlling parameters. Artificial neural network (ANN) had used for the recognition purpose and accuracy achieved was high, also data logging had been implemented successfully for future purpose.

Detection And Recognition

License plate detection and recognition are critical components of the development of a connected Intelligent transportation system, but are underused in developing countries because to the associated costs. Existing license plate detection and recognition systems with high accuracy require the usage of Graphical Processing Units (GPU), which may be difficult to come by in developing nations. Single stage detectors and commercial optical character recognition engines, on the other hand, are less computationally expensive and can achieve acceptable detection and recognition accuracy without the use of a GPU. In this work, a pretrained SSD model and a tesseract tessdata-fast traineddata were fine-tuned on a dataset of more than 2,000 images of vehicles with license plate. These models were combined with a unique image preprocessing algorithm for character segmentation and tested using a general-purpose personal computer on a new collection of 200 automobiles with license plate photos. On this testing set, the plate detection system achieved a detection accuracy of 99.5 % at an IOU threshold of 0.45 while the OCR engine successfully recognized all characters on 150 license plates, one character incorrectly on 24 license plates, and two or more incorrect characters on 26 license plates. The detection procedure took an average of 80 milliseconds, while the character segmentation and identification stages took an average of 95 milliseconds, resulting in an average processing time of 175 milliseconds per image, or 6 photos per second. The obtained results are suitable for real-time traffic applications.

Improved Algorithm

More and more intelligent transportation technologies are applied to license plate detection and recognition that can greatly reduce the burden of traffic management. However, character segmentation of license plate is an indispensable step of license plate recognition. Traditional character segmentation algorithms of license plate mainly use the space between characters of license plate to segment characters, but the license plate cannot be recognized if there are degraded characters or license plate inclination. In this paper, an improved character segmentation algorithm of license plate is proposed. In the improved algorithm, firstly, the noise of precise located license plate is eliminated and then the license plate inclination is tested. When there is license plate inclination, we calculate the inclination angle and use rotation to correct the inclination. So, the problem of license plate inclination is solved in character segmentation. Lastly, the results show that the improved algorithm has better effect than the traditional algorithms and it lays a good foundation for the next research of license plate recognition.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an image processing technique that is used to extract the symbols (characters and digits) embedded on the number (license) plate to identify the vehicles. Huge numbers of ANPR techniques have been proposed by various researchers in the past. Most of the ANPR techniques are designed for restricted conditions due to the diversity of the license plate styles, environmental conditions etc. Not every technique is suited for all kinds of conditions. In general, the ANPR technique comprises of the following three stages; license plate detection (LPD); character segmentation; and character recognition. There exist a wide variety of techniques for carrying out each of the steps of the ANPR. Some score over others. This paper presents a State-of-the-Art survey of the various leading LPD techniques that exist today and an attempt has been made to summarize these techniques based on pros and cons and their limitations. Each technique is classified based on the features used at each stage of LPD. This survey shall help provide future direction towards the development of efficient and accurate techniques for ANPR. It shall also assist in identifying and shortlisting the methodologies that are best suited for the particular problem domain.
