Automatic License Plate Recognition

In present day scenario the security and authentication is very much needed to make a safety world. Beside all security one vital issue is recognition of number plate from the car for Authorization. In the busy world everything cannot be monitor by a human, so automatic license plate recognition is one of the best application for authorization without involvement of human power. In the proposed method we have make the problem into three fold, firstly extraction of number plate region, secondly segmentation of character and finally Authorization through recognition and classification. For number plate extraction and segmentation we have used morphological based approaches where as for classification we have used Neural Network as classifier. The proposed method is working well in varieties of scenario and the performance level is quiet good.

Automatic License Plate Recognition

Purpose This paper aims to present a bio-inspired neural network for improvement of information processing capability of the existing artificial neural networks. Design/methodology/approach In the network, the authors introduce a property often found in biological neural system – hysteresis – as the neuron activation function and a bionic algorithm – extreme learning machine (ELM) – as the learning scheme. The authors give the gradient descent procedure to optimize parameters of the hysteretic function and develop an algorithm to online select ELM parameters, including number of the hidden-layer nodes and hidden-layer parameters. The algorithm combines the idea of the cross validation and random assignment in original ELM. Finally, the authors demonstrate the advantages of the hysteretic ELM neural network by applying it to automatic license plate recognition. Findings Experiments on automatic license plate recognition show that the bio-inspired learning system has better classification accuracy and generalization capability with consideration to efficiency. Originality/value Comparing with the conventional sigmoid function, hysteresis as the activation function enables has two advantages: the neuron’s output not only depends on its input but also on derivative information, which provides the neuron with memory; the hysteretic function can switch between the two segments, thus avoiding the neuron falling into local minima and having a quicker learning rate. The improved ELM algorithm in some extent makes up for declining performance because of original ELM’s complete randomness with the cost of a litter slower than before.
