An Efficient Method of Vehicle Registration Number Plate Extraction and Recognition using Image Processing

Due to increasing population, the number of vehicles is growing day by day. These increases numbers of vehicles create various problems for traffic police such as signal light violations, parking problems, wrong lane violations and toll booth violations. This research will be helpful to control these traffic violations for traffic police. Moreover, it will also be helpful for the other number plate extraction and character recognition applications. We proposed in this research car registration number extraction and character or number recognition. This research will be able to extract and recognize alphanumeric characters in a given image. The final output will be stored in a text file. This file will have extracted alphanumeric characters. This technology will be, cost effective, fast and highly accurate. In this research we will try various algorithms and logics in MATLAB and find best process to extract number plate and recognition of alphanumeric each character. The main goal of this research is to reduce the manpower, cost, time and to make the process quick and highly available.
