An Approach of Locating Korean Vehicle License Plate Based on Mathematical Morphology and Geometrical Features

In a vehicle license plate identification system, plate region detection is the crucial step before the ultimate recognition. In most of the traffic-related applications such as searching of stolen vehicles, road traffic monitoring, airport gate monitoring, speed checking and parking access control. This paper is focused on license plate detection, license plate detection in this paper is based on mathematical morphology and considers features like license plate width, height, ratio, and angle. The advantage of the proposed system is that it works for all types of license plates which differ in size and shapes. The proposed system archived promising results.
