Abstract

The main objective of this paper is pollution check control using license plate detection. In this paper, we extract the information about the vehicle owner by using registration number. So initially, we extract the registration number from the license plate after that compare the registration number to the local database. If registration number is stored in the database, then we retrieve the detail of the vehicle owner. The first key step of this work is to extract the registration number from the license plate for the retrieval of information about the vehicle owner. The extraction of license plate is divided into four parts: first one is preprocessing of image, second is localization of license plate, next step is segmentation of the characters in the license plate, and final step is recognition of characters from the segmented license plate. Apart from that we have also extended our research work to pollution fine implementation and vehicle entry restriction for particular area, vehicle which are more than 10 years old.
