Detection of Vehicle License Plates from a Video Sequence

Abstract

An Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is mainly composed of two processing modules, that is, license plate detection and license plate recognition. Among them, the task license plate detection is considered as the most crucial stage because a high accuracy and real time segmentation and recognition can be performed only if the license plates are correctly localized. In this thesis, I focus on the part of detection the vehicle license plate from the video sequence that requires the fast and high accuracy localization for the license plates.
