Abstract
In this study, we present an artificial neural network based computer vision system which can analyze the image of a car taken by a camera in real-time, locates its license plate and recognizes the registration number of the car. The model has four stages. In the first stage, vehicle license plate (VLP) is located. Second stage performs the segmentation of VLP and produces a sequence of characters. An ANN runs in the third stage of the process and tries to recognize these characters which form the VLP.
