Abstract

Number Plate Recognition plays important role in traffic management system. It is very important in our daily life because of unlimited number of cars and transportation system. This paper presents novel approach for recognition of characters using Hough transform. The proposed system can be used to provide controlled access to restricted areas such as companies, military zones, Supreme Court. This system contains three main parts namely number plate detection, plate character segmentation and character recognition. Feature extraction is the important step of any recognition system. It is necessary to select and extract relevant features for improving the performance of the system. Images captured from the camera involve ample of features. It is necessary to analyze the features which are extracted from images for recognition purposes. The proposed system will use Hough Transform for extracting features of images and edge detection technique for detection of number plate.
