Car Plate Recognition System

This paper presents about car plate recognition system. It describes, design algorithm and future of implementation. The system has color image inputs of a car and the output has the registration number of that car. The system has three main steps to get the desired information. Those are plate localization, character segmentation and character recognition. First, the number of plate is extracted from the original image, then the characters from it are isolated, and finally each character is recognized. The algorithms were developed using a set of training images. The final program is capable of extracting the desired information in a high percentage of the test images. This project develops by using MATLAB 2008a.
