Abstract

2.1

This paper presents the

t method for Thai
T optical charracter
recognition for caar license plate (CCLP). This methood will take the immages
of both characterrs and digits and resize it into 40xx56 pixels. Afterwwards,
this image willl be compared with the Tempplate matching wwhich
comprise of 44 TThai characters annd 10 digits. Thiss template will bee used
as a tool to recoggnize characters and
a digits. The ressults of the experiiment
from 202 samplees show that the acccuracy rate of thhe system is 96.533%.
