Indian Number Plate Recognition and Segmentation Using K Mean and Neural Network Classifier

Vehicle License Plate Recognition is a vital component in Intelligent Transportation Systems. In this paper, VLPR system is proposed. Considering that License Plate Recognition is the most important and difficult part in VLPR systems, we present an effective license plate recognition method based on K Mean and Neural Networks. This Paper focuses mainly on two parts first is recognition and second is segmentation of text and numeral objects embedded on Indian number plates. The advantage of this method is less assumption of environmental , illumination, weather and other conditions is made. Finally the proposed method is tested on our own collected database. The experimental results show the availability and effectiveness of our VLPR system in recognising and segmenting all the license plates in an image.
