Automatic Recognition of License Plates

Abstract

As our lives are getting automated with the Internet of Things, Machine Learning it is very important to get accurate results. This paper is a study of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) using various Python libraries and hence recognize the information on images and videos. We will discuss a novel image processing method which will be used for the recognition of Indian Number Plate Recognition in videos. Further, it will explain about the need of this system in India and also the importance of high intensity images so as to detect them. Also, some future prospects are proposed which will enhance the current working model keeping intact the security and privacy of the data of people. It can later be linked with the database of VAHAN and SARTHI for quick responses regarding the owner of the vehicle and other necessary information. The ALPR system is detected using Local Binary Pattern algorithm and is subsequently recognized using HTTP server using beanstalkd queue thus making a complete software implementation.
