License Plate Recognition?

With the growing speed of vehicles, license plate recognition has become a problem to identify the vehicles by detecting its number plate. Many researchers had proposed their various methods to recognize the vehicle number plate. In this system, the image of the license plate is broken down into pieces. These pieces are then used for analyzing the exact location of the characters on the plate. Then after, the OCR technique (optimal character recognition) is applied on the characters. The OCR methodology coverts the characters into the text. The MSER technique is also used for cleaning up the actual image captured. Hence, the detected number plate is useful for maintaining the track of records in the form of database of the vehicles passing through the same toll repeatedly.
