License Plate Detection using Gabor filter banks and texture analysis

This work discusses the detection and isolation of license plates, especially focusing on photos taken with a standard digital photo camera. The paper will describe a specific process for the detection of license plate using a range of morphological operations, the Gabor-filter and Gabor-filter bank, as well as preprocessing with the image segmentation methods. The features of the license plate, the height and width of the plate and the height and width of the characters will serve as the basis for forming structural elements with the morphological operations. The method of analysis of connected components is used for the determination of the exact position of the plate.
