TRAFFIC MONITORING USING REAL TIME IMAGE PROCESSING

This paper presents a powerful license plate recognition system, which is able to read license number of vehicle. Number Plate Recognition technique is used here which is nothing but an image processing technology. For identification of vehicle, number plate has been used. The optical character recognition (OCR) technique is considered for the character recognition. The data which is obtained as a result can be used for comparing with the specific information like the vehicle’s owner, place of registration, address, etc. Implementation and simulation of this system is done in MATLAB only and the performance testing is carried out on real image. It is expected that the system must have desired high recognition, accuracy and reliability in order to achieve the goal of automatic recognition. Finally it is observed at the end that the system which is developed can successfully detects and recognize the vehicle number plate
