Number Plate Recognition using OCR

Abstract

Technology has the power to streamline and improve the efficiency of a job over human’s, in this paper we go through the problem of solving a particular problem in the Indian road systems i.e Toll booths. The paper discusses a rather simple and cost efficient method to streamline the process of toll booths with the help of detecting vehicle registration number using OCR to overcome the cost factor of present day systems by using IP cameras. Generally human intervention may cause some financial malpractices, which leads to huge loss of revenue. So to overcome this problem, there is a requirement of a system which automatically detects the number plates of those vehicles. So the main intention of this project is to get the registration information from the image efficiently.
