OBJECTIVE

The main objective of our project is to recognize and display the

Registration numbers of vehicles which are scanned by the camera.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
The work is divided into several parts:
 Image Reading
 Gray Code Conversion
 Filtering
 License Plate Detection
 Segmentation
 Character Recognition
 Display Output
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
• Image Reading:
We input the raw image which is actually an RGB image (analog input) which is
considered for conversion.
• Gray Code Conversion:
This RGB image is converted to Gray Scale code which is again binarized to 8-
bit Gray code.
• Filtering:
After conversion the image is filtered using paper and salt noise reduction
which consists of eroding, filling and dilating. The corresponding 3*3 masks
get eight neighboring values.
• License Plate Detection:
This step is the most important step in the detection of this system and
algorithm which is based on the belief that license plates are rectangular in
 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
• Segmentation:
This step is again the next most important step of where the license plate is segmented
using the character detection technique which is mainly given by their vertical projection.
• Character Recognition:
This step we compare different characters which are usually combinations of Numbers
and Alphabets of varying length. These characters are compared using the database of
templates given by the use of unique indexes. Which are numbered so as to compare the
no. of end points.
• Display Output:
Then each output is displayed and each step is shown which renders and reads and then
finally displays the characters.

CONCLUSION

The results are as expected but not to up to the mark. The time of compilation and
processing is varying depending on the size of image and the resize function.
Around 12 images have been tested by us at different angles but even if we
increase the range of resize function it is detecting only of the characters. We were
able to find out that bigger images which have other vehicles or writings in
background could not be processed correctly. We weren’t able to do extrapolation
and interpolation. More changes can be executed done on this model. A GUI based
software can be developed using more complex code and the existing algorithm.
