Automatic License Plate Recognition using OpenCVEditor IJCATR
Automatic License Plate Recognition system is a real time embedded system which automatically recognizes the license plate of vehicles. There are many applications ranging from complex security systems to common areas and from parking admission to urban traffic control. Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) has complex characteristics due to diverse effects such as of light and speed. Most of the ALPR systems are built using proprietary tools like Matlab. This paper presents an alternative method of implementing ALPR systems using Free Software including Python and the Open Computer Vision Library.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates. There are two types of ANPR technology - ANPR engines that recognize plates from stored images, and ANPR all-in-one equipment that incorporates all hardware for image capture and plate recognition. ANPR all-in-one equipment is considered more reliable as it has a modular design and simplified installation. ANPR works by detecting vehicles, capturing images using interlaced or progressive cameras, and applying software algorithms to locate, isolate, and recognize the characters on license plates. It has applications in law enforcement, traffic control, and access management.
IRJET- Recognition of Vehicle Number Plate using Raspberry PIIRJET Journal
This document describes a system that uses a Raspberry Pi to recognize vehicle number plates and control access through a gate. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect when a vehicle is near, a camera to capture an image of the vehicle's number plate, and optical character recognition (OCR) software to convert the image to text. The Raspberry Pi then compares the recognized text to a database of allowed number plates. If it matches, a servo motor opens the gate. If not, a buzzer sounds to alert authorities that an unauthorized vehicle has been detected. The system aims to provide security at facilities by only granting access to vehicles with valid number plates.

1. Autonomous cruise control (ACC) is an optional cruise control system that automatically adjusts a vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead using a radar sensor.
2. ACC uses radar or laser sensors to detect slower vehicles ahead and slow down the vehicle while also accelerating back to the set speed when the forward vehicle is no longer detected.
3. The key components of an ACC system are the ACC module for processing radar information, engine and brake control modules for controlling vehicle speed and braking, and instrument cluster for displaying ACC status to the driver.
Abstract:
With an everyday increase in the number of cars on our roads and highways, we are facing numerous problems, for example:
• Smuggling of cars
• Invalid license plates
• Identification of stolen cars
• Usage of cars in terrorist attacks/illegal activities
In order to address the above issues, we took up the project of developing a prototype, which can perform license plate recognition (LPR). This project, as the name signifies, deals with reading, storing and comparing the license plate numbers retrieved from snapshots of cars to ensure safety in the country and ultimately help to reduce unauthorized vehicles access and crime.
License Plate Recognition (LPR) has been a practical technique in the past decades. It is one of the most important applications for Computer Vision, Patter Recognition and Image Processing in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
Generally, the LPR system is divided into three steps, license plate locating, license plate character segmentation and license plate recognition. This project discusses a complete license plate recognition system with special emphasis on the Localization Module.In this study, the proposed algorithm is based on extraction of plate region using morphological operations and shape detection algorithms. Segmentation of plate made use of horizontal and vertical smearing and line detection algorithms. Lastly, template matching algorithms were used for character recognition.
The implementation of the project was done in the platforms of Matlab and OpenCV.

Abstract Every country uses their own way of designing and allocating number plates to their country vehicles. This license number plate is then used by various government offices for their respective regular administrative task like- traffic police tracking the people who are violating the traffic rules, to identify the theft cars, in toll collection and parking allocation management etc. In India all motorized vehicle are assigned unique numbers. These numbers are assigned to the vehicles by district-level Regional Transport Office (RTO). In India the license plates must be kept in both front and back of the vehicle. These plates in general are easily readable by human due to their high level of intelligence on the contrary; it becomes an extremely difficult task for the computers to do the same. Many attributes like illumination, blur, background color, foreground color etc. will pose a problem. Index Terms: Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system, proposed methodology, reference

Programmed Number Plate Recognition is truncated as ANPR. An Automatic Number Plate Recognition utilizes optical character acknowledgment innovation to naturally peruse vehicle tag as an Image.
Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) uses camera-based optical character recognition on images of vehicle license plates to read the plates. ANPR was invented in 1976 in the UK and uses specialized CCTV cameras to detect license plates in real-time. Reasons for using ANPR include round-the-clock vehicle monitoring, reducing crime, easing toll management, and generating violations for traffic infractions.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates. It has seven key elements: cameras, illumination, frame grabbers, computers, software, hardware, and databases. ANPR detects vehicles, captures plate images, and processes the images to recognize plates. It has advantages like improving safety and reducing crime but also has disadvantages like image blurring and low resolution. Key applications include parking, access control, tolling, border control, and traffic monitoring.

It has seven key elements: cameras, illumination, frame grabbers, computers, software, hardware, and databases. The ANPR process involves detecting vehicles, capturing images of license plates, and recognizing the characters on the plates. Its applications include parking, access control, tolling, border control, and identifying stolen vehicles. The technology provides advantages like improving safety and reducing crime but can be limited by low-resolution images and motion blurring.
This document discusses traffic enforcement cameras, also known as speed cameras. It begins by introducing the purpose of using speed cameras to reduce traffic violations and enforce speed limits. It then provides details on the types of cameras, including fixed cameras mounted on poles or over roads, mobile cameras, and average speed cameras that calculate a vehicle's speed over a distance. The document discusses the technology behind automatic license plate recognition and how average speed cameras systems work. It concludes by noting that while speed cameras help enforce safety, some drivers try to avoid or evade them, though most of these attempts are illegal.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) uses optical character recognition to read vehicle registration plates from images. ANPR cameras use infrared illumination and fast shutter speeds to capture high quality images of moving vehicles day or night. ANPR software then transforms the plate image pixels into text. Different ANPR systems exist for various applications like traffic monitoring, toll collection, and parking management.

Smart Algorithm for Traffic Congestion and ControlIRJET Journal
This document presents a smart algorithm for traffic congestion control using video processing and RFID sensors. A camera installed at an intersection records live traffic density and counts vehicles in video frames. When the traffic density reaches a threshold, the traffic light signals are adjusted accordingly. RFID sensors and a reader are also used to identify vehicles that break traffic rules and go through red lights. The system aims to more intelligently control traffic lights based on real-time traffic conditions compared to traditional fixed-time systems, in order to reduce congestion and wasted time. It analyzes the literature on existing traffic management systems and the advantages of the proposed smart algorithm approach.

Performance Evaluation of Automatic Number Plate Recognition on Android Smart...IJECEIAES
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an intelligent system which has the capability to recognize the character on vehicle number plate. Previous researches implemented ANPR system on personal computer (PC) with high resolution camera and high computational capability. On the other hand, not many researches have been conducted on the design and implementation of ANPR in smartphone platforms which has limited camera resolution and processing speed. In this paper, various steps to optimize ANPR, including pre-processing, segmentation, and optical character recognition (OCR) using artificial neural network (ANN) and template matching, were described. The proposed ANPR algorithm was based on Tesseract and Leptonica libraries. For comparison purpose, the template matching based OCR will be compared to ANN based OCR. Performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated on the developed Malaysian number plates’ image database captured by smartphone’s camera. Results showed that the accuracy and processing time of the proposed algorithm using template matching was 97.5% and 1.13 seconds, respectively. On the other hand, the traditional algorithm using template matching only obtained 83.7% recognition rate with 0.98 second processing time. It shows that our proposed ANPR algorithm improved the recognition rate with negligible additional processing time.
The document summarizes research on license plate recognition (LPR) systems. It discusses how LPR works by using computer vision algorithms to detect vehicle license plates in images and then perform optical character recognition (OCR) to read the characters. The key steps involve preprocessing images using techniques like grayscale conversion and edge detection. Contour detection is then used to localize the license plate region. Character segmentation and recognition follows using methods like neural networks. The document reviews various existing LPR techniques and algorithms reported in other research papers. It then outlines the objectives and methodology of LPR, including preprocessing, binarization, edge detection with filters, contour detection to extract plates, and OCR to read characters. Python is used to demonstrate an
IRJET- Number Plate Extraction from Vehicle Front View Image using Image ...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper on extracting vehicle number plates from front-facing images using image processing techniques. The paper proposes a system that uses a camera to capture vehicle images, processes the images to isolate and extract the number plate, recognizes the characters on the plate, and displays the plate text. The system works by first converting the color image to grayscale. Edge detection, morphological operations and binary thresholding are then used to segment and extract the number plate region. Bounding box techniques isolate individual characters which are converted to text using OCR. The method achieved accurate number plate extraction on vehicle images taken in different lighting conditions and resolutions. The system has applications in traffic monitoring, law enforcement and vehicle identification.

The proposed method involves detecting license plates in images and videos, extracting characters, and recognizing plates using k-NN, OpenALPR and a CNN model. Results of the three approaches on test data will be analyzed to determine the most accurate one, considering factors like character recognition accuracy and processing time.
A Study on Single Camera Based ANPR System for Improvement of Vehicle Number ...journal ijrtem
This document summarizes a study on a single camera-based automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to recognize vehicle license plates on multi-lane roads. It proposes a character extraction algorithm using connected vertical and horizontal edge segments to improve recognition rates. The algorithm detects character edge patterns, extracts components by cumulatively labeling edges, and enhances images through contrast adaptive binarization. An ANPR system was installed on a 3-lane test road and achieved a detection rate of 84.6%, though some errors occurred with specific vehicle models or character differences. Further research is needed to handle low-visibility conditions and improve accuracy.
A Study on Single Camera Based ANPR System for Improvement of Vehicle Number ...IJRTEMJOURNAL
In this paper, we introduce the single camera-based number recognition system used for this
system recognizes vehicle number plates on one lane by using a single camera. Intelligent transport system (ITS)
has been constructed because there is a limit in solving traffic problems in a physical manner such as construction
of roads and subways. The single camera-based number recognition system used for this system recognizes vehicle
number plates on one lane by using a single camera. Due to the increased cost of the installation and maintenance
thereof, there is a growing need for a multi-lane-based number recognition system. When the single camera-based
number recognition system is used for multi-lane recognition, the recognition rate is lowered due to a difference in
vehicle image size among lanes and a low-resolution problem. Therefore, in this study, we applied a character
extraction algorithm using connected vertical and horizontal edge segments-based labeling to improve multi-lane
vehicle number recognition rate and thereby to allow application of the single camera-based system to multi-lane
roads.
A License plate is a rectangular plate which is alphanumeric. The license plate is fixed on the vehicle and used to identify the
vehicle along with honor of that vehicle. There is a huge nos. of vehicles are on the road word wile so that traffic control and
vehicle owner identification has become a major problem.
The automatic number plate reorganization (ANPR) is one of the solutions of such kind of problem. There is nos. of methodologies
but it is challenging task as some of the factors like high speed of vehicles, languages of number plate & mostly non-uniform
letter on number plate effects a lot in recognition. The license plate recognition (LPR) system have many application like payment
of parking fees; toll fee on highway; traffic monitoring system; border security system; signal system etc.
In this paper, the different method of license plate recognition is discussed. The systems first detects the vehicle and capture the
image then the number plate of vehicle is extracted from the image using image Segmentation optical character recognition technique
is used for the character recognition. Then the resulting date is compared with the database record so we come up the information
like the vehicle’s owner, vehicle registration place, address etc. it is observed that developed system successfully defect
& recognize the vehicle number plate on real image.

2. INTRODUCTION
The Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is a mass
surveillance method that uses optical character recognition on
images to read the license plates on vehicles. They can use existing
closed-circuit television or road-rule enforcement cameras, or ones
specifically designed for the task. They are used by various police
forces and as a method of electronic toll collection on pay-per-use
roads and monitoring traffic activity, such as red light adherence in
an intersection. ANPR can be used to store the images captured by
the cameras as well as the text from the license plate, with some
configurable to store a photograph of the driver.
Systems commonly use infrared lighting to allow the camera to take
the picture at any time of the day. A powerful flash is included in at
least one version of the intersection monitoring cameras, serving both
to illuminate the picture and to make the offender aware of his or her
mistake. ANPR technology tends to be region-specific, owing to plate
variation from place to place.
In recent years (ANPR) have become a reliable and affordable state-
of-the-art technique. They are used by the police for the enforcement
of traffic rules or for crime detection. In London ANPR-systems are
applied to register the vehicles entering the congestion charging zone.
They are used by various police forces and as a method of electronic
toll collection on paper use roads, and monitoring traffic activity such
as red light adherence in an intersection.
ANPR is sometimes known by various other terms:
Automatic licenseplate recognition (ALPR)
Automatic licenseplate reader (ALPR)
Automatic vehicle identification (AVI)
Car plate recognition (CPR)
Licenseplate recognition (LPR)
Lecture automatique de plaques d'immatriculation (LAPI) [Mexico]
3. Mobile licenseplate reader (MLPR)
Vehicle licenseplate recognition (VLPR)
Development History
ANPR was invented in 1976 at the Police Scientific Development
Branch in the UK. Prototype systems were working by 1979, and
contracts were let to produce industrial systems, first at EMI
Electronics, and then at Computer Recognition Systems (CRS) in
Wokingham, UK. Early trial systems were deployed on the A1 road
and at the Dartford Tunnel. However it did not become widely used
until new developments in cheaper and easier to use software was
pioneered during the 1990s. The first arrest through detection of a
stolen car was made in 1981 and the first documented case of ANPR
in helping solve a murder occurred in November 2005 after the
murder of Sharon Beshenivsky, in which City of Bradford based
ANPR played a vital role in locating and subsequently convicting her
killers.
COMPONENTS
The software aspect of the system runs on standard home computer
hardware and can be linked to other applications or databases. It first
uses a series of image manipulation techniques to detect, normalize
and enhance the image of the number plate, and then optical character
recognition (OCR) to extract the alpha numeric.
The font on Dutch plates was changed to improve plate recognition.
The Dubai police use ANPR cameras to monitor vehicles in front and
either side of the patrol car alpha numerics of the license plate. ANPR
systems are generally deployed in one of two basic approaches: one
allows for the entire process to be performed at the lane location in
realtime, and the other transmits all the images from many lanes to a
remote computer location and performs the OCR process there at
some later point in time. When done at the lane site, the information
captured of the plate alphanumeric, date time,lane identification, and
4. any other information required is completed in approximately 250
milliseconds. This information can easily be transmitted to a remote
computer for further processing if necessary, or stored at the lane for
later retrieval. In the other arrangement, there are typically large
numbers of PCs used in a server farm to handle high workloads, such
as those found in the London congestion charge project. Often in such
systems, there is a requirement to forward images to the remote
server, and this can require larger bandwidth transmission media.
TECHNOLOGY
ANPR uses optical character recognition (OCR) on images taken by
cameras. When Dutch vehicle registration plates switched to a
different style in 2002, one of the changes made was to the font,
introducing small gaps in some letters (such as P and R) to make them
more distinct and therefore more legible to such systems. Some
license plate arrangements use variations in font sizes & positioning
ANPR systems must be able to cope with such differences in order to
be truly effective.
More complicated systems can cope with international variants,
though many programs are individually tailored to each country.
The cameras used can include existing roadrule enforcement or
closedcircuit television cameras, as well as mobile units, which are
usually attached to vehicles Some systems use infrared cameras to
take a clearer image of plates.
5. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ANPR-systems for the recording of number plates of vehicles
normally consist of two components. Firstly, a camera that detects
passing vehicles and continuously sends the images to a computer.
Secondly, software that recognises number plates with its characters
and stores them in a database. Some websites of ANPR-System
contractors are listed in the Annexure
CAMERA
The Camera itself consists of an infrared detecting camera, a general
optical colour detecting camera and an infrared light emitting array of
LEDs. The LED array beams infrared light in the direction of the
infrared camera, which then captures the light reflected by the white
background of the number plates of passing by vehicles, which
appears white on the image.
The non-reflecting colour of the characters and the vehicle’s surface
appear black. Direct sunlight enhances the infrared reflection, the
LED array however is bright enough to recognise number plates in
absolute darkness. The focal length of the infrared camera is adjusted
to detect an overall width of one lane. The colour camera with a lesser
focal length generates images for overall view and alignment of the
whole camera body. Both images are sent in intervals of 300ms to a
Computer, where the installed software processes them. ANPR-
systems can be either set up as shown in Figure on a bridge
construction over a carriage way or on the hard shoulder of a
carriageway.
In the latter case it is not possible to detect traffic on two lanes
because the further lane will not be recognizes optimally due to
shadowing effects. As of 2006 systems can scan number plates at
around one per second on cars travelling up to 100 mph (160km/h).
6. NDI-Sidewinder-infrared-camera-night-vision-ANPR camera
SOFTWARE
As soon as the software recognizes an image with a number plate, the
full string is identified by an optical character recognition algorithm
and is checked for international plate syntax to determine the country
of origin. Afterwards the number plate string is saved in conjunction
with a timestamp and the ambiance image of the colour-camera to a
database.
7. ALGORITHMS
1. Plate localisation responsible for finding and isolating the plate on
the picture
2. Plate orientation and sizing compensates for the skew of the plate
and adjusts the dimensions to the required size
3. Normalisation adjusts the brightness and contrast of the image
4. Character segmentation finds the individual characters on the plates
5. Optical character recognition
6. Syntactical/Geometrical analysis check characters and positions
against country specific rules
7. The averaging of the recognised value over multiple fields/images to
produce a more reliable or confident result. Especially since any
single image may contain a reflected light flare, be partially obscured
or other temporary effect.
The complexity of each of these subsections of the program
determines the accuracy of the system. During the third phase
(normalization), some systems use edge detection techniques to
increase the picture difference between the letters and the plate
backing. A median filter may also be used to reduce the visual noise
on the image.
DIFFICULTIES
* Poor file resolution, usually because the plate is too far away but
sometimes resulting from the use of a low quality camera.
* Blurry images, particularly motion blur.
* Poor image resolution, usually because the plate is too far away but
sometimes resulting from the use of a low quality camera.
* Poor lighting & low contrast due to overexposure, reflection or
shadows
* Object obscuring the plate, quite often a bumper, or dirt on the plate
* A different font, popular for vanity plates
* Circumvention techniques
8. * Lack of coordination between countries or states. Two cars from
different countries or states can have the same number but different
design of the plate.
While some of these problems can be corrected within the software, it
is primarily left to the hardware side of the system to work out
solutions to these difficulties. Increasing the height of
the camera may avoid problems with objects (such as other vehicles)
obscuring the plate but introduces and increases other problems, such
as the adjusting for the increased skew of the plate.
APPLICATIONS of ANPR
Automatic Number Plate Recognition has a wide range of
applications since the license number is the primary, most widely
accepted, human readable, mandatory identifier of motor vehicles.
ANPR provides automated access of the content of the number plate
for computer systems managing databases and processing information
of vehicle movements. Below we indicated some of the major
applications, without the demand of completeness.
Parking
One of the main applications of ANPR is parking automation and
parking security: ticketless parking fee management, parking access
automation, vehicle location guidance, car theft prevention, "lost
ticket" fraud, fraud by changing tickets, simplified, partially or fully
automated payment process, among many others.
Access Control
Access control in general is a mechanisms for limiting access to areas
and resources based on users' identities and their membership in
various predefined groups. Access to limited zones, however, may
also be managed based on the accessing vehicles alone, or together
9. with personal identity. License plate recognition brings automation of
vehicle access control management, providing increased security, car
pool management for logistics, security guide assistance, event
logging, event management, keeping access diary, possibilities for
analysis and data mining.
Motorway Road Tolling
Road Tolling means, that motorists pay directly for the usage of
particular segment of road infrastructures. Tolls are a common way of
funding the improvements of highways, motorways, roads and
bridges: tolls are fees for services. Efficient road tolling increases the
level of related road services by reducing travel time overhead,
congestion and improve roadways quality. Also, efficient road tolling
reduces fraud related to non payment, makes charging effective,
reduces required manpower to process events of exceptions. License
plate recognition is mostly used as a very efficient enforcement tool,
while there are road tolling systems based solely on license plate
recognition too.
Border Control
Border Control is an established state coordinated effort to achieve
operational control of the country's state border with the priority
mission of supporting the homeland's security against terrorism,
illegal cross border traffic, smuggling and criminal activities .
Efficient border control significantly decreases the rate of violent
crime and increases the society's security.
Automatic number plate recognition adds significant value by event
logging, establishing investigatable databases of border crossings,
alarming on suspecious passings, at many more.
10. Journey Time Measurement
Journey Time Measurement is a very efficient and widely usable
method of understanding traffic, detecting conspicuous situations and
events, etc. A computer vision based system has its well knwon
downfalls in Journey Time Measurement, while Automatic Number
Plate Recognition has provied its viability: vehicle journey times can
be measured reliably by automatic number plate recognitionbased
systems. Data collected by license plate recognition systems can be
used in many ways after processing: feeding back information to
road users to increase traffic security, helping efficient law
enforcement, optimising traffic routes, reducing costs and time, etc.
Law Enforcement
ANPR is an ideal technology to be used for law enforcement
purposes. It is able to automatically identify stolen cars based on the
upto date blacklist. Other very common law enforcement applications
are red light enforcement and over speed charging and bus lane
control.

11. Other Uses
ANPR systems may also be used for/by:
*Section control, to measure average vehicle speed over longer
distances.
*Border crossings.
*Automobile repossessions.
