Moving Vehicle Registration Plate Detection

Abstract

Abstract: Generally, video surveillance system is used for security purpose as well as monitoring but recognition of moving object is a difficult part of video surveillance. Now a days, due to decreasing costs of high quality video surveillance systems, detection and tracking has becomeincreasingly in practical with the help of human activities. Nowadays, these kind of systems have been designed for various tasks, but the task of detecting illegally parked vehicles has been left largely to the human operators of these systems. The recognition of Registration platesof Indian vehicles is the most interesting and challenging part from past few years. It is noticedthat the registration plates of vehicles are in different shapes and sizes and colours in various countries. We need to identify the registration plate of moving vehicles using python librariessuch as OpenCV and Pytesseract. This project will enable us to identify the numbers and characters of a registration plate easily. The major technology which we use here is Edge detection technique.
