A Study on Indian License Plate Identification

Vehicle License Plate Recognition is a very significant & complex area of Image processing which has various applications. In situations where no standard number plate format and font is maintained, identification becomes difficult. In India the situation is very common where no standard font and size is maintained while designing Car Registration Plates. In this paper, we discussed effect of Edge Detection and ANN is used for character recognition on identification of Vehicle Number Plates with various types of fonts. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method is simple and satisfactory, which can provide very high percentage of accuracy most of the time.
