 ABSTRACT

It might be challenging to locate speeding drivers and those who have breached
the law. Traffic signals and car owner verification are now major issues in
every country. As a result of the speed of cars, it is difficult for police to collect
numbers from moving cars, so finding methods to detect such people is
fruitless. To address this issue, it is crucial to advertise Automatic Number Plate
Recognition (ANPR). It might be challenging to locate speeding drivers and
those who have breached the law.

Traffic signals and car owner verification are now major issues in every
country. The detection and recognition of a vehicle License Plate (LP) is a key
technique in most of the applications related to vehicle movement. Moreover, it
is a quite popular and active research topic in the field of image processing.
Different methods, techniques and algorithms have been developed to detect
and recognize License Plates. Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR)
process is a challenging process because of variations in viewpoint, shape,
color, multiple formats and non-uniform illumination conditions at the time of
image acquisition.

In the process of developing the project, our team was lucky enough to be able
to explore the libraries and other algorithms used in machine learning. We
could explore various algorithms and what worked with our project and learnt
about the shortcomings of the algorithms and how we could overcome them. It
was a great learning experience for our team.
