An Improvised Model for High-Security License Plate Detection and Recognition for Indian Vehicle to Enhance Detection Accuracy

In the present time of data advancement, there is the collection of innovation utilized by the diverse branches of the legislature for observation checking. Recently, India has launched a new license plate format according to the Central Motor Vehicles (CMV) rules, 1989, in which each number plate is assigned using a unique permanent consecutive identification number and a hologram system. A chromium-based hologram has been placed, and “IND” in blue is inscribed using hot stamping foil. Almost all the states of India have started implementing this new format of number plates called high-security registration plate scheme (HSRP). At this point of time, the Indian traffic system needs a robust automatic license recognition system which may work according to the new HSRP format. In this research work, the authors first discuss the issues and challenges in identification of number plate using automatic recognition system with respect to Indian scenario and further propose a robust method for automatic detection of license plate. The proposed system uses a strong preprocessing technique for improving the identification accuracy up to 97%. The proposed system has a limitation that it does not bring up the number plate recognition in a real-time application yet which may be considered as a future work.
