Summary: | There are many useful applications for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR)
system such as traffic law enforcement, car toll collection, parking system management
and journey time measurement. Among many other advanced techniques to measure
journey time, ANPR system has gained lots of intentions because it is a non-intrusive
approach and this system does not require any additional vehicle identification to be
installed in the vehicle. The aim of this research is to develop offline ANPR software,
which can locate and read the number plate with an average rates of more than 80% and
to extend the measurement capability of the developed ANPR software for measuring
the vehicles journey time. The proposed ANPR software has been developed to suit
with the traffic environment in Malaysia. The development of the ANPR software
consists of several processing steps: vehicle detection, number plate localization,
number plate extraction, character segmentation and character recognition. Several tests
were done in order to measure the performance and capability of the developed ANPR
software. Based on the results, the system is reliable and robust and its capability to
measure journey time indicated that it has a huge potential to be used in traffic and
transportation studies. |
