Abstract
Recognizing a license plate of a vehicle has widely been issued. In this thesis, firstly, mean shift algorithm is used to filter and segment a color vehicle image in order to get candidate regions. These candidate regions are then analyzed and classified in order to decide whether a candidate region contains a license plate. We then present an approach to recognize a vehicle's license plate using the Fuzzy ARTMAP neural network, a relatively new architecture of the neural network family. We show that the proposed system is well to recognize the license plate and shows some compute simulations.
