Abstract
A new algorithm for recognition of symbols in license plates of Polish cars is presented. The method is aimed to work as the real-time system and successfully recognizes 60%–70% of plates. The algorithm utilizes image processing techniques and the neural network based approach. It was divided into three stages, the details of which are described in this paper. Presented algorithm shows that it is possible to construct an efficient videodetector, the abilities of which are comparable or better than the abilities of existing detectors, and which would cost not more than a personal computer.
