Automatic Number Plate Recognition System using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Automatic Number Plate Recognition System is an embedded system that acknowledges the vehicle number plate automatically. Automatic Number Plate Recognition is a technology for computer vision to find the number plates of vehicles from the images. There are many applications like parking, access control, security system, etc. In this paper, we propose a technique of implementing Automatic Number Plate Recognition System using Python and Open Computer Vision Library. The different stages that are involved in the implementation are conversion into gray scale, conversion into binary image, detects the edges of the image, to find the contours and finally displays the number plate of a vehicle.
