MATLAB-Based License Plate Recognition [Detailed Comments]
(1) Image Preprocessing: Perform image conversion, image enhancement, and edge detection on automotive images. (2) License Plate Localization: Segment the license plate image from preprocessed automotive images, i.e., locate the license plate position within a vehicle image. (3) Character Segmentation: Execute geometric correction, noise removal, binarization, and character segmentation on the license plate image to isolate individual character images composing the license plate number. (4) Character Recognition: Preprocess segmented characters (binarization, normalization), analyze and extract features, and recognize the segmented character images to output the license plate number in text format.
