Research on identification technology of vehicle license plate based on image processing

Automatic vehicle license plate is an important part of intelligent transportation system. The success of the plate recognition will have a deep impact on the construction of intelligent transport systems. Image processing, tilt correction, character delimitation, character recognition and matching are main applications of vehicle license plate recognition, and the above process are implemented in matlab environment. Vehicle license plate location is implemented by vehicle license plate locating method based on edge detection and morphology filter in this article. The tilt correction mode based on Hough transform is used for license plate tilt correction section; character delimitation algorithm is used for character delimitation to achieve the vehicle license plate character segmentation; character recognition method based on template matching is chosen for character recognition section in this article, and successfully identify the license plate number.
