Virtual Valet

Abstract

Abstract: Virtual Valet is an image processing technology which is used to retrieve the registered number of vehicles from its number plate to identify the vehicle. The main objective is to design an efficient vehicle identification system with the help of its number plate. This system will help in reducing crime, it will help in improving road safety, deterring terrorism. It can be implemented in automatic parking systems, border control. It is useful to detect the stolen cars. This app is also useful in traffic management. It can be used by various police forces and by electronic toll collection. Firstly, the system will ask for the vehicle’s image. After that the region of interest that is number plate is extracted using image segmentation in an image. For character recognition we have used the optical character recognition technique. Optical character recognition is the last step in vehicle number plate detection. After this the resulting data will be used to compare with the database so that we can get specific information like the owner’s name, registration number, address etc. Keywords: (OCR)Optical Character Recognition, Pytesseract, OpenCV, Django
