 Introduction
• ANPR was invented in 1976 in the UK at Police Scientific Development Branch
(PSDB)
• technology that uses optical character recognitions on images to read vehicle
registration plates to create vehicle location data It can use existing closed-circuit
television, road-rule enforcement cameras.
• Traffic control and vehicle owner identification have become a major problem in
every country. Something it becomes difficult to identify vehicle owner who
violates traffic rules and drives too fast.
• Therefore it is not possible to catch and punish those kinds of people because the
traffic personal Might not be able to retrieve the vehicle number from the moving
vehicle because of the speed of the vehicle. Therefore, there is a need to develop
the system as one of the solutions to this problem.
• Our detect and recognize vehicle license plate will detect the license plate from an
image and video. It can also detect in real-time using OpenCV and Python-
tesseract. The user will just need to upload an image or video from their device.

 WORKING OF PROJECT
ANPR process:
Typical ANPR systems include a digital image capture unit (camera), a processing unit,
and different algorithms for video analytics.
Video input and image acquisition:
Firstly, the ANPR camera captures images or videos that contain one or multiple
license plates (video stream or photo). Often, infrared lighting is used to allow
cameras to capture vehicle registration plates at night, making it possible to operate
ANPR at all hours of the day.
Detect and crop number plate:
In the image, the license plate is detected using machine learning and computer vision
methods. There are different methods that differ significantly in terms of computing
resources needed, complexity, speed, and accuracy. A common method includes first
detecting the vehicles using object detection, then localizing the numberplate within

 those bounding boxes. This is usually achieved by finding areas of contrast between
the background and the numberplate. Once the number plate is detected, it is
cropped and normalized (sharpened, distorted, and enhanced). A common method
includes firstdetecting the vehicles using object detection, then localizing the
numberplate withinthose bounding boxes. This is usually achieved by finding areas
of contrast betweenthe background and the numberplate. Once the number plate
is detected, it iscropped and normalized (sharpened, distorted, and enhanced).

Extract and read number plate:

Next, OCR software is applied to the detected plate area to return the license plate
14 number in text format. The OCR software can be optimized for different character
sets, making it possible to use the same ANPR system in different countries. The

output of an ANPR system is typically the license plate number, often with the
region or country identifier.
Use number plate information:
Finally, once converted into plain text format, the vehicle plate number is stored in a
database for integration with other IT systems. It can be used to compare the
license plate to a database of registered plates, or whitelist and blacklist
databases. If found in the database, the software returns stored information
about the vehicle, for example, the name and address of the registered owner.

 Advantages of ANPR:

i. It is easy to maintain.

ii. It is user-friendly.

iii. The system will automatically detect and recognize the license plate.

iv. It can detect vehicle license plates from an image and videos.

v. It can also detect in real-time.

 Applications of ANPR
Law enforcement:
Police forces use ANPR for law enforcement purposes, to check if a vehicle is
registered, or to identify vehicles related to traffic violations. The ability to detect
and recognize number plates in real-time allows authorities to identify vehicles
and track their location.
Smart parking management :
Car parking management requires an integrated solution to detect individual
vehicles. Hence, automated number plate recognition is the key to efficient car
parking management. ANPR allows parking garages to have automated parking
management because every car is accounted for by its license plate number. Such
intelligent parking systems keep track of every vehicle in the facility and ensure
complete governance. As a result, parking garage users can avoid the stress of
managing their own tickets and tracking time spent, risking penalties for
inaccurate ticket payments or losing their tickets. In addition, automatedsurveillance
can be referred back to in case of a disagreement.

 Intelligent traffic management:
Traffic management is the umbrella term for a plethora of advantages that ANPR
offers. Automated vehicle number plate detection can be used throughout cities to
detect over speeding vehicles, vehicles that drive rashly, or any accidental
occurrence. ANPR provides solutions for measuring and analysing area-related
traffic data of a certain area or an entire city. On a larger scale, traffic
management allows insights into traffic congestion for better traffic planning.
Retail Park security:
Retail parks often deal with unauthorized parking, leading to hassles for rightful
parking spaces or sometimes suspicious activities. Such security risks can be
20 addressed with ANPR technology by ensuring only authorized vehicles are using
parking spaces.
