In this paper, we propose a low-cost license plate recognition system based on smart cam system using Android. The proposed system consists of a portable device and server. Potable device Hardware consists of ARM Cortex-A9 (S5PV210) processor control unit, a power supply device, wired and wireless communication, input/output unit. We develope Linux kernel and dedicated device driver for WiFi module and camera. The license plate recognition algorithm is consisted of setting candidate plates areas with canny edge detector, extracting license plate number with Labeling, recognizing with template matching, etc. The number that is recognized by the device is transmitted to the remote server via the user mobile phone, and the server re-transfer the vehicle information in the database to the portable device. To verify the utility of the proposed system, user photographs the license plate of any vehicle in the natural environment. Confirming the recognition result, the recognition rate was 95%. The proposed system was suitable for low cost portable license plate recognition device, it enabled the stability of the system when used long time by using the Android operating system.

With the development of IT and digital camera technology, diverse applications of image processing services are becoming available. In this paper, in order to ultimately automate parking management system, we designed and implemented a system for recognizing vehicle license plates that show vehicles' unique numbers by using EmguCV which shows optimized performance on Intel-based environment. We also implemented UI for administrators to easily manage the entire system by utilizing.

An image processing algorithm is developed in order to recognize the type of cars, the position of a number plate and the characters on the plate. to recognize the type of cars, comparison of two images is used. One has a car image, the other is just a background image without car. After that recognition, a vertical line filter is used to find the location of the plate. Finally the simularity mehod is used to recognize the numbers on plates.

본 논문은 개인용 휴대장비인 디지털카메라등을 통하여 차량의 앞/뒤 번호판을 자동인식하며 인식된 결과를 텍스트 형식으로 결과를 사용자에게 통보함은 물론, 입력된 차량의 정보를 부호화하고 통신망을 통하여 원격지 서버로 전달하고 원격지 서버는 복호화과정을 거쳐 전송된 텍스트 형태의 차량번호를 확인하여 차량에 대한 정보를 제공하는 시스템이다. 이는 급증하는 차량범죄 및 차량통제, 도난차량검거, 수배차량추적등 많은 분야에 효과적으로 사용이 가능하며 무선 및 도로교통에 많은 편의성과 효율성을 제고할 수 있다고 사료된다.

신호단어는 잠재적 위험을 빠르게 알리는 데에 주로 사용하는데, 위험, 경고, 주의, 지시등의 용어가 여기에 해당된다. 각각의 단어는 위험의 성질, 따르지 않았을 때의 결과, 또 필요로 되는 행위를 포함하고 있다. 이러한 이유 때문에 이미 교통안전분야에 도로표지판의 정보전달이나, 자동차 번호판의 개선에 대하여 연구를 계속하여 오고 있으나, 산업안전분야에의 적용은 아직 미흡한 수준에 머물러 있다. (중략)

In this paper, we propose a novel method to extract an area of car licence plate and codes of vehicle number from a photographed car image using features on vertical edges and a new Fuzzy neural network algorithm to recognize extracted codes. Prewitt mask is used in searching for vertical edges for detection of an area of vehicle number plate and feature information of vehicle number palate is used to eliminate image noises and extract the plate area and individual codes of vehicle number. Finally, for recognition of extracted codes, we use the proposed Fuzzy neural network algorithm, in which FCM is used as the learning structure between input and middle layers and Max_Min neural network is used as the learning structure within inhibition and output layers. Through a variety of experiments using real 150 images of vehicle, we showed that the proposed method is more efficient than others.

Recently, due to advances in both imaging technology and ICT, various types of image processing services became available and the application services of these two technologies are diversifying. Recognition of vehicle license plates is used in places where vehicle information is needed such as in parking management. However, existing systems have economic disadvantages like issuing parking tickets and attaching unnecessary equipment. In order to solve these problems, we designed and implemented automatic parking management system through recognition of vehicle license plates by using emguCV that is based on OpenCV. Additionally, we designed improved UI to handle the entire parking management situation which include information such as details of each parking vehicle, parking time and remaining parking spaces without screen movement. This improved UI is implemented with the use of WPF which is the latest technology in user program development. The emguCV used in this paper showed the most optimized performance in Intel based environment. With it, we obtained the result of within 0.5 seconds of recognition processing time and over 90% of recognition rate. Through improved UI, the manager could both simply and intuitively manage the entire system.

In general LPR(License Plate Recognition) in outdoor image is not so simple differently from in the image captured from manmade environment, because of geometric shape distortion and large illumination changes. this paper proposes three techniques for LPR in outdoor images captured from CCTV. At first, a serially connected multi-stage Adaboost LP detector is proposed, in which different complementary features are used. In the proposed detector the performance is increased by the Haar-like Adaboost LP detector consecutively connected to the MB-LBP based one in serial manner. In addition the technique is proposed that makes image processing easy by the prior determination of LP type, after correction of geometric distortion of LP image. The technique is more efficient than the processing the whole LP image without knowledge of LP type in that we can take the appropriate color to gray conversion, accurate location for separation of text/numeric character sub-images, and proper parameter selection for image processing. In the proposed technique we use DBN(Deep Belief Network) to achieve a robust character recognition against stroke loss and geometric distortion like slant due to the incomplete image processing.

분할 및 합병 개념에 바탕을 둔 모듈라 신경망이 자동차 번호판 문자 인식에서 단일 신경망 사용 보다 학습 질 측면이나 학습 속도 면에서 좋은 결과를 보였다. 본 논문에서는 번호판 인식을 위한 모듈라 신경망 구성 시, 특징 벡터 클러스터링 방법에 따른 모듈라 신경망의 성능을 평가하였다. K-means Clustering 알고리즘을 이용하여 유사한 특징 벡터를 그룹핑하는 방법과 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘을 사용하여 유사하지 않는 특징 벡터들을 그룹핑하는 방법 각각을 구현하여 실험하였다. 실험결과, 유사하지 않는 특징 벡터들로 모듈라 신경망을 구성할 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우보다 좋은 인식 결과를 보였다.
