Abstract

Identification of License plates of vehicles is significant in various monitoring and security applications. This paper involves two major processes: image processing of the License plate and classification of the individual characters. Preprocessing of the number plate image is done for noise removal by converting it to a grayscale image followed by conversion to a binary image. The Bounding Box method is implemented for the segmentation of individual characters that are to be classified. Two Supervised machine learning algorithms namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Decision Tree is used for the classification. The performance indices of the two algorithms are analysed to determine the more accurate method. It is proposed to implement the algorithm on a stand-alone model to employ it for real-time applications after improving the accuracy with more training and test data.
