ABSTRACT

This mainly aims to design an automatic number plate recognition

(ANPR) system for the license plates using back propagation
neural network. The simulation of the proposed system was
implemented using MATLAB software package.The technology
that read vehicle registration plates is called
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).n general, ANPR
systems are divided into three main steps:
1) Location of the vehicle license plate region.
2) Segmentation of the characters from the license plate
region.
3) Recognition process of each character.

BPNN are used for detection and

segmentation process. Different conditions and measures are taken
for the process of detecting license plates. Then, these conditions
and measures are taken and used to be the input to BPNN. The
system performance is evaluated by using different number of
training and testing images. Increase the number of training images
will also increase the time taken for training of BPNN. This
proposed system can successfully be locating text region
from complex environment.
