Abstract Smart city-aspiring urban areas should have a number of necessary elements in place to achieve the intended objective. Precise controlling and management of traffic conditions, increased safety and surveillance, and enhanced incident avoidance and management should be top priorities in smart city management. At the same time, Vehicle License Plate Number Recognition (VLPNR) has become a hot research topic, owing to several real-time applications like automated toll fee processing, traffic law enforcement, private space access control, and road traffic surveillance. Automated VLPNR is a computer vision-based technique which is employed in the recognition of automobiles based on vehicle number plates.… More >

Abstract The latest advancements in highway research domain and increase inthe number of vehicles everyday led to wider exposure and attention towards the development of efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). One of the popular research areas i.e., Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) aims at determining the characters that exist in the license plate of the vehicles. The VLPR process is a difficult one due to the differences in viewpoint, shapes, colors, patterns, and non-uniform illumination at the time of capturing images. The current study develops a robust Deep Learning (DL)-based VLPR model using Squirrel Search Algorithm (SSA)-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN),… More >

Abstract With the popularity of intelligent transportation system, license plate recognition system has been widely used in the management of vehicles in and out of closed communities. But in the natural environment such as video monitoring, the performance and accuracy of recognition are not ideal. In this paper, the improved Alex net convolution neural network is used to remove the false license plate in a large range of suspected license plate areas, and then the projection transformation and Hough transformation are used to correct the inclined license plate, so as to build an efficient license plate recognition system in natural environment.… More >
