Sarbjit Kaur, Sukhvir Kaur . An Efficient Method of Number Plate Extraction from Indian Vehicles Image. International Journal of Computer Applications. 88, 4 ( February 2014), 14-19. DOI=10.5120/15339-3674
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an image-processing technology that identifies vehicles by their number plates without direct human intervention. It is an application of computer vision and important area of research due to its many applications. The main process of ANPR is divided into four stages. This paper presents a simple and efficient method for the extraction of number plate from the vehicle image based on morphological operations, thresholding and sobel edge detection, and the connected component analysis.
