Resource Overview

Source code written in MATLAB for license plate recognition, featuring accurate license plate localization and character detection capabilities using image processing algorithms and machine learning techniques.

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB source code implements comprehensive license plate recognition functionality. The system employs sophisticated image processing algorithms for precise license plate localization, including edge detection, color segmentation, and morphological operations to isolate the license plate region from complex backgrounds. For character recognition, the code incorporates machine learning techniques such as template matching or optical character recognition (OCR) algorithms to accurately identify characters under varying lighting conditions and angles. Key MATLAB functions utilized include imread() for image input, rgb2gray() for color conversion, edge() for boundary detection, and regionprops() for feature extraction. The program also provides additional features like image display and saving capabilities using imshow() and imwrite() functions, along with result output mechanisms for practical applications. This implementation enables efficient vehicle management, violation monitoring, and supports various intelligent transportation systems in traffic management and security domains. The modular code structure allows for easy customization and integration into larger surveillance or automotive systems.
