Abstract

License plate recognition is an important issue in Intelligent Traffic System (ITS). It utilizes Image processing and Pattern recognition technologies. In this paper, we had built an algorithm in MATLAB that will extract information from an image. It should be able to identify English capital letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), Dash (-), and Blank space from the image. We tried to adopt a very simple yet natural flowchart to develop our algorithm. Firstly, we would convert true color image into binary image. Secondly, by using Filtering we would convert the binary image into binary filtered image to remove the unnecessary information and then by using image processing Toolbox, we tried to figure it out the connected components in the binary filtered image. Lastly, using the correlation coefficient, the function identifies each letter from the license plate image.
