Abstract
One of the most important topics of intelligent transportation system is the License Plate Recognition (LPR). LPR systems have many potential applications in intelligent traffic systems, such as the payment of parking fee, highway toll fee, traffic data collection, traffic monitoring systems, traffic law enforcement, security control of restricted areas and so on. LPR was developed to identify vehicles by the contents of their license plates. The LPR system consists of three major modules: license plate extraction, segmentation and recognition of individual characters. This paper presents a study of applying the neural network approach for character image recognition. The new approach is tested on 400 samples of extracted license plate images captured in outdoor environment. The result yield 99. 2% recognition accuracy, the method takes 1. 6 seconds to perform the car plate recognition from vehicle's image. In order to decrease problems such as low quality and low contrast in the vehicle images, image recognition is done by the two different methods first is feed forward method and another is Radial Basis function and the best one is selected. The algorithm based on neural network which can quickly and correctly detect the region of license plate and the license plate detecting rate of success is 99. 2%.
