Vehicle Number Plate Identification System (VNPIS)

In rapidly developing countries, the number of vehicles has increased in accordance with the technology. The need to recognize the vehicles has increased in parallel th e number of the vehicles. Vehicle surveillance plays an important role in numerous applications, such as parking accounting systems, traffic law enforcement, road monitoring, expressway toll system, electronic-police system, and security systems. In this paper we present a instant and real-time mobile vehicle license plate Identification system in an open environment. Using a nonfixed video camera installed in the car, the system tries to capture the image of the car in front and to process instant vehicle number plate detection and Identification. The proposed approach involves five different processes, these are, image enhancement, Find Region of interest, Region Boundary, Pattern Isolation, character Identification. This technique can quickly and correctly detect the number plate region from the vehicle image. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method is simple and satisfactory, considering the complexity of the input image.
