License Plate Detection using Optical Character Recognition

A unique use of optical character recognition is automatic license plate detection. Using digital photos, a car can be recognized from its license plate using image processing technologies. In this paper, we present a method for optical character recognition-based license plate detection (OCR). OCR, which is an optically processed character on digital images, is used to identify text from a digital image. Tests of this method are conducted using various photos and lighting setups. To identify the real characters on the license plate, we have employed image processing and image segmentation in this study. By identifying the edges throughout the entire image, edge detection, an image processing technique, is utilized to determine the precise location of the license plate.
