An Improved Bernsen Algorithm Approaches For License Plate Recognition

An Improved Bernsen Algorithm approaches for License Plate Recognition (LPR) applied to the intelligent transportation system. LPR is an image processing technology used to identify the vehicles by their license plates. License plate recognition is mainly based on two methods. One is License plate detection method which is based on Improved Bernsen Algorithm and the other is license plate character recognition method. The proposed LPR algorithm consists of three modules: 1) Locating the license plates; 2) Segmenting the characters; and 3) Identifying the license characters. The algorithm was tested with 100 images, such as an Indian vehicle images using different backgrounds. The experimental results show the algorithm can divide the character of plate effectively.
