Abstract
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has become an integral part of the Transportation Industry these days and it consists of License Plate Recognition (LPR) System. License Plate Recognition is also called Car Plate Recognition (CPR) or Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System. In LPR System, when a vehicle steps over magnetic loop detector it senses car and takes image of the car, following image preprocessing operations for improvement in the quality of car image. From this enhanced image, license plate region is recognized and extracted. Then character fragmentation/segmentation is performed on extracted License Plate and these segmented characters are recognized using Neural Network in this paper.
