 ABSTRACT

Because of enormous development of communication media and technology, today it's

Number plate detection algorithm is mainly categorized into three classes: edge-based, color
based and texture based. License plate location algorithm based on edge detection and
morphology are describe to locate the number plate, first identify whether any noise is present
in the plate. In the field of computer and machine vision, haze and fog lead to image
degradation through various degradation mechanisms including but not limited to contrast
attenuation, blurring and pixel distortions. This limits the efficiency of machine vision
systems such as video surveillance, target tracking and recognition. Various single image dark
channel dehazing algorithms have aimed to tackle the problem of image hazing in a fast and
efficient manner. Such algorithms rely upon the dark channel prior theory towards the
estimation of the atmospheric light which offers itself as a crucial parameter towards
dehazing. This paper describes the use of sobel technique and image morphing for number
plate detection and ocr technique is used to extract the number of the vehicle.
