Indian License Plate Recognition – A Review

Abstract

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a real time embedded system which identifies the characters directly from the image of the license plate. Due to the different types of number plates being used, the requirements of an automatic number plate recognition system are different for each country. License plate detection is an important stage in vehicle license plate recognition for intelligent transport systems. This paper presents approaches for license plate detection for Indian license plates. The basic step of license plate detection is localization of number plate. An extensive experimentation has been carried out for various types of Indian license plate to verify and authenticate the results. The aim of this paper is to study and evaluates accuracy at each stage of license plate detection algorithms.
