Automated License Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Automated License Plate Recognition (ANPR) white paper
 

Abstract

Automated license or number plate recognition (ALPR/ANPR) is one of the most challenging applications for optical character recognition (OCR) because of the variable conditions encountered and the expected effectiveness. A successful implementation depends not only on the strength of the underlying OCR tool but also on complementary image processing techniques and tools.
