Smart vehicle identification system using OCR

In recent times the identification and parking of vehicle has become a difficult task because of the increase in the number of automobiles. In the existing surveillance system the maintenance of incoming and outgoing vehicles is difficult. To resolve this problem a number of techniques can be used out of which Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is most the suitable technology. OCR has been the subject of research for more than decades. OCR is defined as the conversion of scanned images into machine encoded text. The proposed system is implementing the OCR technology to park the vehicles in smart way and keep the track of the vehicles which are entering and leaving. The system will capture the image of number plate of the vehicle using the OCR process and will instantly update the database.
