Theft Vehicle Detection Using Image Processing integrated Digital Signature Based ECU

Vehicle theft detection is becoming as an increasingly important challenge in many urban areas. Some of the factors that affect the detection of such thievery are: a change in the original vehicle number plate, dismantling and mismatching the parts of the vehicle, and alteration in the original vehicle colour. These complications have led to serious difficulties in identifying the theft vehicles. In order to reduce the effort required in tracking the stolen vehicles, this research work has developed a system that can efficiently detect the theft vehicle irrespective of its altered vehicle number plate and colour. The proposed vehicle theft detection process is done with the help of microcontrollers and some modules.
