Abstract:
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition system) is well known system currently been
deployed various countries. The current project exhibits a simple ANPR that has been developed
using open source technologies such as (Aforge .net and tesseract) as its importance is growing
so as the developers providing their libraries which enables us to use image processing
algorithms just writing 2 to 3 lines of code. In this ANPR morphological operations and blob
processing are used to locate the number plate and then an open source OCR is used to detect the
characters of the number plate. On the basis of recognition the characters are verified with
database records and if the records are matched the vehicle is allowed to park in the university
premises.
