LPR
LPR
used to
perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on License Plates
and
their respective accuracy rates (both potential accuracy and
actual
empirical accuracy).
Hello Dustymack,
http://www.machinevisiononline.org/public/articles/archivedetails.cfm?id=1206
Free and for fee software / algorithms are available from links at
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~cil/v-source.html
for a variety of computer vision applications (including license plates).
The Dutch system claims only 78% accuracy on license plate recognition (LPR).
The SAIC system claims about 95% accuracy for LPR and when combined
with a data base lookup, higher rates [presumably by comparing "close"
matches with a threshold].
This gives you a range of accuracies - a review of the system
implementations should give you an idea of how these accuracies are
achieved.

A system in place in Singapore with 99.7% accuracy of "good plates".
Limited to plates issued in Singapore.

Description of a system in place at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
Reads 92% of all "readable" plates and within 2 digits 99% of the
time. Note this method of doing matches with less than perfect data.

Experimental Optical Charachter Recognation using Neural Nets
"recognises numbers from 0 to 9
The net needs to be trained atleast 250 times on the font of your choice.
If not trained it will give undesirableresults."
