Abstract:

In this paper character recognition in Saudi Automobile License Plates is described. Due to special properties of Saudi license plates, simpler procedures as compared to the ones used for Lebanese plates have been developed. A limited character set for recognition enables the development of smaller recognition trees. The process relies on processing pixels along vertical and horizontal lines taken across the character. The developed procedure was applied to different characters taken from real license plates and the recognition rate was 100% for characters supported by the algorithm. Uniformly distributed pseudo-random noise was added to simulate error in the image. The algorithm was proven to work even in cases in which the characters were extremely degraded by noise.
