Week 8: The Process

The Process of Image Processing

This is the process of image processing. It shows how the system works from start to finish.

Week 7: Block Diagram

The General Proposed of ANPR System

Description of Block Diagram;

The ANPR system will obtain the input which it is image from a digital camera that will place at toll booth. After obtaining the image which contain number plate vehicle, the next step is preprocessing. Preprocessing step is the first step in number plate recognition and it consist the following major stages which is binarization and noise removal. Binarization is initially process to improve the quality and prepare it to next stage of the system. Noise removal is the step to remove the noise of the image to get better, clear and sharpness of images. Next, number plate localization is the steps to localize the number plate. Character segmentation will subdiving an image into constituent parts or isolating certain aspects of an images. If the segmentation fails, a character can be improperly divided into two pieces or two characters can be improperly merged together. Character recognition will scan the image by allowing the system automatically recognize and extract text content from number plate images. Final stage is the output of images that has been through all of process. The output will come out with ASCII character. However, this project using MATLAB GUI so the output will be display using GUI.

Week 6: Objectives

Objectives of Project

These are the objectives for this project: 

• Develop a system for the purpose of toll payment.
• To develop a program using MATLAB and implement the character recognition.
• To enhance the existing technique or algorithms. 

Week 5: The Summary of Project

Automatic Number Plate Recognition Technology

It is technical method of artificial vision (OCR) that allows the recognition of number plates in images of vehicles.

Generally, the ANPR technology can be bought in two modalities:

• The ANPR engine: can recognize the number plate directly from the images stored in a hard disk.
• The ANPR equipment (Hardware Recognition engine): all the hardware necessary to capture the images of the vehicles and to recognize the number plate and offer the maximum reliability.

How does ANPR system works:

The ANPR process is divided into three steps.

• Detection of the vehicle: The first step is to take an image of the vehicle at the right time.
• Capture of the images: Once the vehicle is detected, the following step is the capture of the vehicle.
• Number plate recognition process: Each ANPR manufacturer has developed its own recognition algorithms.

Conclusion, the ANPR technology is a good system to implement in any suitable system although it has advantages and disadvantages.
