Automatic Number Plate Recognition System Using Deep Learning Algorithms and Image Processing for Surveillance

The increase in amount of vehicles in the past few years have made traffic management a difficult job. Technologies play an important role in these systems to regulate the traffic. Number plates are distinguished by their shape, bulk, and color in different countries. Number plates must adhere to rules in India, where a light hue serves as the background and a black color serves as the foreground. This paper recommended a new technique to locate the number plate on a vehicle by using histogram equalization and then identifying the alphabets and digits on the plates using character segmentation using Sobel and Canny edge detection image processing technique.
