Target Recognition and Detection Using MATLAB with Source Code Implementation

This documentation offers MATLAB source code implementations for target recognition and detection applications, including automated license plate recognition systems. For beginners, these code examples serve as excellent learning resources that demonstrate practical image processing techniques using MATLAB. The implementations include key functions such as image preprocessing, feature extraction, and pattern matching algorithms. While studying these codes, you'll gain insights into various aspects of target recognition, including methods for identifying different target types and handling image noise/interference through filtering techniques and morphological operations. The code structure demonstrates important MATLAB functions like imread for image loading, rgb2gray for color conversion, edge detection using Sobel or Canny operators, and regionprops for object characterization. Beyond providing working source code, this material offers valuable learning opportunities in computer vision fundamentals, making it particularly useful for researchers and developers seeking to deepen their understanding of this field through hands-on MATLAB implementation.
