Resumen de Development of algorithms for vehicle plate recognition

Cristian Tasiguano, Luis Corrales

• The objective of this project is the development of an algorithm for recognizing license plates at the entrance of a parking lot by digital image processing. For this, it has been developed a system of recognition of license plates using LabView software with its machine vision toolkit and an IP high resolution camera. The software designed locates the license plate within a captured image of a vehicle and recognizes characters and numbers within it. The license plate in the image is located by searching for patterns. For recognition of characters and numbers on the plate, optical character recognition, OCR is used. Once the text on the plaque has been ""read"", characters and numbers are compared to a database containing all plates of vehicles that are authorized for entry into the parking lot.
