Thai Vehicle License Plate Recognition Using the Hierarchical Cross-correlation ARTMAP

This paper proposes a Thai vehicle license plate recognition system, called the hierarchical cross-correlation ARTMAP. An ability to separately train each segment of the network gives the hierarchical cross-correlation ARTMAP an advantage over the other approaches. The experimental results show that the hierarchical cross-correlation ARTMAP outperforms the other approaches by a wide margin
