Abstract

AUTOVID is a parking access control system that recognizes the license plate from cars and opens the gate if the car is registered to parking area. The purpose of this project is to build an application that recognizes license plates from cars at a gate. The system, based on regular PC with camera, catches video frames which include a visible car license plate and processes them. Once a license plate is detected, its digits are recognized and checked against a database. The focus is on the design of algorithms used for extracting the license plate from a single image, isolating the optical characters of the plate and identifying the individual characters.
