Number Plate Scanner using MATLAB

In the world of Automation and Artificial Intelligence the image processing is also taking a lead to support these technologies by providing a better picture of the things,

(literally a better picture) one of the ways is to provide better solution to the intelligence. Location and extraction of the license plate region from a larger scene image will be the first step and then after having the license plate region to work with, the alphabetical characters present on the plate will be needed to extract from the background. Next step will be to deliver them to the MATLAB system for recognition. Locating the region of interest helps in dramatically reducing both the computational expense and algorithm complexity. 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.
