Vehicle license plate recognition in marketing application

The paper presents an artificial vision system able to analyze the image of a car given by a camera, to locate the registration plate and to recognize its registration number. It describes practical problems encountered in implementing this application and the proposed solutions. The system has been designed using a modular approach. Sub-modules can be upgraded and or substituted independently, thus making the system potentially suitable in a large variety of vision applications. Performances of the system, have been evaluated in real situation.
