Introduction
Modern Intelligent Transport Systems
• Plate characters
• Vehicle License Plate Recognition

Applications
• Highway surveillance
• Unattended parking lots
• Security monitoring of restricted areas
• Urban logistics
• Traffic law enforcement
Literature Review
Mujawar and Vadi (2022) proposed a Raspberry Pi-based system for automatically
identifying license plates that use image processing. In this system, a Raspberry Pi is
coupled to a camera and an Liquid crestal display. The system continuously looks for signs of
license plates in the incoming camera footage. When it notices a number plate in front of the
camera, it analyses the camera input and extracts the number plate component from the
image. The extracted image is processed using OCR to get the license plate number. The
program then displays the extracted number on the LCD.

Akbarzadeh et al. (2022) developed an improved algorithm to carry out the plan. First, we go
through many difficult steps. The placement of the plate is determined as the initial stage. In
the second phase, an initial improvement to reduce the expected noise using a suitable filter,
which is provided by the Gaussian function. The remaining stages of the program are:
locating the edge of photographs, enhancing updated photos, and choosing the precise
location of the plate. The study's ultimate step eventually entails several stages, such as
using a neural network to automatically extract the characters from the plate..
Materials and Methods
The development of an automated plate
number recognition and identification
system comprises of the following
interfaces as materials for both the
hardware and software
• Languages: Python, Pycharm IDE,
• Tesseract-OCR,
• USB camera,
• Microsoft visual basic, and
• SQL server management studio as the
database

gaining access to the daily entrance which
captures the plate number, time, gate passing

security attending you during the entrance.
Conclusions
This paper presented algorithm for the extraction of Nigeria plate
numbers proved quite effective and efficient.
Performance of the algorithm
• Plate localization
• Reading accuracy
The results obtained shows a 90% accuracy for license plate localization
but a reading accuracy of 70%.
MYSQL server database was used in this paper which allows large storage
of driver’s particulars and vehicle data.

Recommendations
Further work can be conducted to improve the accuracy of this system,
using deep learning (tensor flow).

Performance comparison for the captured plate number and the record
stored in the database can be automated to make sure that each vehicle
must be registered before accessing premises.
