AUTOMATIC VEHICLE NUMBER PLATE SEGMENTATION AND RECOGNITION

plate extraction is the major key step before the plate recognition. This paper presents a method for extraction and recognition of the vehicle number plate from the image automatically. The camera is used to capture the image automatically. The segmentation is used to segment the characters of number plate. The segmented characters are then recognized by using template matching. The template matching matches all the characters stored in database. This presented algorithm works on real time images
