Malaysian license plate recognition system

Abstract

The growth of technology requested higher performance tools in order to fulfill human needs and market. This system is implemented to make human work easier besides can reduce the usage of human power and because of its potential application. The development of automatic car license plate recognition system will resulted greater efficiency for vehicle monitoring system. Car plate recognition systems are used commercially, both in overseas and locally. In Malaysia, however the usage of car plate recognition system is restricted to the ordinary car plates. Therefore, this system is aimed for implementation of a recognition system for Malaysian car plates. This system is implementing by using MATLAB 7.9 Image Processing Toolbox. In this project, an automatic license plate recognition system is proposed for Malaysian vehicles with standard license plates based on image processing, feature extraction and neural networks. The image of a car will be taken and then it will start from the image preprocessing. After finish the preprocessing the information of the character in the will be extract. The information get is used as input to the neural network and the system start to classified the data.
