Design and implementation of real time LPR system on a fixed point DSP

This paper presents a smart and simple algorithm for vehicle's license plate recognition system. The proposed algorithm consists of three major parts namely detection of license plate from an image, segmentation and recognition of characters. For detection of the license plate, a memory and speed proficient algorithm has been proposed. After detection, statistical based template matching is used for recognition of characters on the plate. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on real images. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm demonstrates enhanced performance in car license plate recognition.
