Abstract

Detection of vehicle license plate is vital for identifying the vehicle because the license plate has unique information for each vehicle. However, in India, vehicle license plate standards, though they exist, are rarely practiced. Large amount of variations are seen in the parameters of license plate like size of number plate, its location, background and foreground color, etc. which makes the task of number plate localization for recognition more difficult. This paper presents a Wavelet analysis based methodology for precise localization of Indian number plates.
