The Vehicle License Plate Localization System Based on LabVIEW

License plate recognition is an important application topic of computer vision and pattern recognition technology in intelligent transportation field. Recognition system, which can automatically extract the license plate and segment the characters from an image, then recognize the characters, is a special computer vision system based on specific targets for the object. Generally, the system consists of hardware and software. In recent years, with the rapid development of LabVIEW software, LabVIEW not only has powerful data processing function, but also provides a lot of various kits. This paper is mainly to complete the functions of image preprocessing, license plate localization and license plate segmentation etc., by processing acquired image based on LabVIEW software programming.
