Nowadays many parking lot facilities in public places has been using information technology. Automatic parking system is quite popular and widely developed, automation parking system here aims to reduce the human resources involved in the operation of the system and the future will provide enormous efficiency. Automation systems by use of information technology would not only provide efficiencies, but it also lead to new problems. The new problem of how to make the system completely automated without any human intervention as an operator by considering the security of the system.  Automatic parking system which has been developed as well as in a research disciplines such as: the use of development of automatic vehicle number plate detection system using image processing technique [1], [2] and [3]. The development of automated parking systems using vehicle number plate recognition, generally lack pay attention to security issues in recording vehicle information. Another studies of automatic parking system is by integrate the system by the use of a microcontroller [4]. In addition,the development of an automatic parking system is also much to discuss parking positioning as research[5].  In this research the development of an automatic parking system focuses on the automation of vehicle data recording ,using license number plate recognition, with an additional security aspect. The system is developed by using license plate number recognition technology and color recognition technology, as a vehicle data recording mechanism. So the operator does not need for process entrance and exit vehicle into the parking area. To complete the security mechanisms in this study implement multifactor authentication (what do you know, what do you have and what do you are). Encryption mechanism is also added to prevent data forgery.  2 LITERATURE SURVEY  2.1 Number Plate Recognition  Number plate recognition is a method that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates. Most of the number plate detection algorithms fall in more than one category based on different techniques. To detect vehicle number plate following factors should be considered: a. Plate size: a plate can be of different size in a vehicle image.   ARTICLES OF BALI INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (BISSTECH) II 2014 “Fundamental and Applied Research for Industrial Sustainability: Food, Agrochemical, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)”  September 2-4, 2014, BALI-INDONESIA   C3.6-2  ISBN: 978-602-9372-70-0  b. Plate location: a plate can be located anywhere in the vehicle. c. Plate background: A plate can have different background colors based on vehicle type. For example a government vehicle number plate might have different background than other public vehicles. d. Screw: A plate may have screw and that could be considered as a character.[7]  Actually, number plate recognition system consists from four separate stages of the process. First of all, capturing image, in the second stage the processing of the input image and roughly locates the potential number plate regions. Further, in the third stage, character plate number and the number is extracted, especially from the state of a complex with a variety of noise sources. Finally, plate number and character are segmented and recognition is carried out, as shown in Figure 1.   Figure 1 method number plate recognition   Segmentation is one of the most important processes in the automatic number plate recognition, because the next process of the algorithm depends on it. If the segmentation process fails, the character can be divided into two parts, or two character scan merge together. We can use the horizontal projection for the number plate segmentation, or one of the more sophisticated methods, such as segmentation using neural networks. Figure 2 shown illustration character segmentation.  To recognize the character we have to perform feature extraction which is a basic concept to recognize the characters. Feature extraction is the process of transforming data from the bitmap representation in the form of description, which is more suitable for computer. Character recognition should be invariant to the type of font users, or deformation caused by askew. In addition, all instances of the same character must have the same description. The explanation is a vector of character values of numbers, called a description or pattern [6].  Figure 2 Illustration character segmentation[8]  2.2 color Recognition  Color color is one of the implementation of digital image processing. Color recognition aims to identify the colors in the image. A color recognition methods including methods of learning. To recognize the RGB color components (red green blue).Color image is analyzed from RGB color space point of view. Each pixel in the image consists of three color channels known as RGB components. The range of values of each of this components lies within 0 to 255.  3 METHODOLOGY    The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype system to record the identity of vehicles entering and exiting the parking area automatically, which is equipped by security mechanism. Automation system developed using the mechanism of the vehicle number plate recognition and vehicle color recognition as a substitute for manually recording process when the vehicle entered the parking area, and the same mechanism is used to identify vehicle when exit the parking area. The system is also equipped by security mechanism to prevent unwanted actions such as theft and data forgery. User authentication and encryption is the mechanism used for security.

The system starts from the vehicles entering the parking area, the system will perform license plate recognition and vehicle color recognition. The results of the recognition process is used as vehicles identity data. For data safety, the data will been crypted. Vehicle identity data that has been encrypted will be printed as a parking ticket that use QR Code.    The vehicle parking exit flow in this work is shown in the Figure 4. The system starts from the vehicle will leave the parking area. Users scan the QR code and the system will read the vehicle data from QR Code. Data from QR Code compared with the vehicle identification data using the same mechanisms as the parking entrance.

This data will be used for the parking entrance and exit. This study used two methods of data collection for a vehicle. First: vehicle license plate recognition method for record the number plate of the vehicle with the input image from camera capture in real-time. Second: methods color recognition for recording vehicles color with image input from camera capture in real-time.  4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS   The proposed system is developed using C# and EmguCV [5].
