Automated Recognition of Uzbekistan Automobile License Plates: A Robust ANPR System

I. INTRODUCTION In today’s era of technological advancements, the integration of Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems has become imperative for enhancing security, law enforcement, and traffic management. Recognizing the distinctiveness of license plates is crucial for the effective operation of these systems. This paper marks a pioneering effort as the first to address the specific nuances presented by Uzbekistan license plates, focusing on their unique sequence and appearance. So far, any research has not been conducted on recognition of new Uzbekistan automobile plate numbers. This paper bridges the gap by introducing an ANPR system finely tuned to the specific sequence and appearance of Uzbekistan license plates, marking a significant contribution as the first paper on this topic. A. Literature Review Various approaches have been proposed to address the challenges associated with automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), focusing on aspects such as character recognition, vehicle image capture, license plate detection, and plate segmentation [1-3]. Automatic license plate detection (ALPD) is a method employed to autonomously extract the license plate area of a vehicle from an image or video frame, eliminating the need for human intervention [4]. Traditionally, machine learning techniques have ISSN 2181-0842 / Impact Factor 4.182 51marked a critical milestone. The system showcased real-time capabilities, successfully recognizing license plates on moving vehicles and adapting to dynamic lighting conditions. IV. CHALLENGES AND FUTURE WORK Future work may include integrating the developed model into smart parking systems. The system’s accuracy and real-time capabilities position it as an ideal candidate for optimizing parking management. Exploration into the integration of the ANPR system into broader security systems is underway. The potential for enhancing surveillance and access control highlights the system’s versatility. Considering the continuous evolution of license plate designs, the integration of deep learning models is being explored to further improve the system’s adaptability. Another possible future work can be working on energy efficiency aspects of the system with the approach used in these works [19-20]. V. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the developed ANPR system represents a significant advancement in the accurate recognition of Uzbekistan automobile license plates. By addressing specific challenges associated with the unique characteristics of Uzbekistan plates, the system showcases robust performance in both static images and live video feeds. The successful testing outcomes underscore its potential for practical applications in law enforcement, traffic management, smart parking systems, and security surveillance.
