License Plate Recognition of Myanmar Vehicle Number Plates A Critical Review

License plate (LP) recognition (LPR) plays an important role in few major applications such as automatic parking system, surveillance applications, toll system etc. This paper studies major research contributions on LPR for various license plates of different countries. An emphasis is made to find out the current status of the work for Myanmar vehicle number plates. An extensive survey of related research suggests few important observations which are highlighted along with few recommendations that could overcome the major challenges of existing research in context with Myanmar number plates. Robustness and varying conditions are few of major points that need attention in this area; moreover the research on LPR for Myanmar number plates needs to be vibrantly done.
