    This document proposes a machine vision system for automated vehicle parking using image processing and automatic number plate recognition. The system uses a camera to capture images of vehicle number plates as they enter the parking area. Image processing techniques like preprocessing, segmentation and character recognition are used to identify the characters on the license plate and compare it to an authorized list to determine if the vehicle should be granted access or not. The system is intended to automate vehicle entry and exit from parking areas like malls, reducing manual labor and access control issues. It describes the methodology used which includes image acquisition, conversion to grayscale, morphological operations, character extraction and template matching for recognition. Experimental results on 50 images show good performance in plate extraction and character segmentation.

    RECOGNITION OF NUMBER PLATE IN CAR


    PARKING SYSTEM

    OBJECTIVE:
    To develop a machine vision system for automated vehicle parking with the help
    of image processing.

    ABSTRACT:
    Automatic number plate recognition is an image processing technology which
    uses number plate to identify the vehicle. The vehicle plate recognition
    automatically controls access to a secured area for authorized members which is
    renewed on monthly basis of the frequently coming vehicles. This work proposes
    a method for the detection and identification of vehicle number plate that will
    help in the identifying authorized and unauthorized vehicles. This approach is
    based on recognizing all the letters and numbers used in the number plate and real
    time comparison with the number plates date fed into the system. Image
    processing is processing of images using mathematical operations by using any
    form of signal processing for which the input is an image or a series of images or
    a video, the output of image processing may be either an image or a set of
    characteristics or parameters related to the image. With the help of this system
    we can automate the whole process of vehicle entry and exit hence reducing man
    power and can also help in reducing the mal practices done by the gate keepers
    which would compromise in the safety of the whole building and it would also
    result in faster processing than manual checking of the entry slip.
    Vehicle number plate recognition mainly consist of the five main parts-
     First step is pre-processing which will reduces the noise and make it more
    clearly visible.
     Next will be crop the image and then the number plate edge extraction is
    performed.
     Then it will segment the characters individually to recognise each character
    of the number plate using algorithm which will recognize or interpret the
    result.
    SCOPE-
    The above proposed system can be used in various places like Malls and
    especially in the Urban cities where multilevel parking and being used for parking
    of vehicles. Since these type of parking are open 24/7 recruiting a person to for
    the whole time would be tedious and costly but with this system it would
    eliminate the work of man and will work without fatigue.

    METHODOLOGY-
    IMAGE PROCESSING IN MATLAB-
    An automated system is developed by using MATLAB in which image is
    captured by a camera and converted into grey scale image for pre-processing.
    After the image is converted into grey scale, the dilation process is applied and
    horizontal and vertical edge processing is done and passed those histograms
    through low pass filters. After filtering image segmentation and region of interest
    is extracted and image is converted into binary form. Binary images are easily
    processed as compared to colour images. Each alphanumeric character on the
    number plate is extracted and then recognize with the help of template
    matching.at the end of this process, data is stored in a file and the whole number
    pate is extracted successfully.

    IMAGE ACQUISITION-
    This is the first step of image processing. In this steep the image is acquire by a
    high resolution digital camera .Image should be taken from a fixed angle parallel
    to horizon. Images are taken in different background, illumination conditions, and
    at various distances from the camera to vehicle. Images are resized to (2931X
    1359). Which is shown by the below fig2.

    Fig3: original image taken by hardware

    CONVERT INTO GRAY SCALE IMAGE-


    This algorithms works on grey level image, for pre-processing and identifying
    the required information. In this step colour image (Fig4) is converted into grey
    scale image.
    Fig4: gray scale image

    CANDIDATE PLATE AREA SELECTION-


    Morphological operations aim to remove unrelated objects in the image. Dilation
    and erosion are used to extract candidate plate areas from the entire image.
    Sometimes background areas may also get declared as candidate plate. Dilation
    is a process for filling holes, sharpens edges of an object and maximize the
    brightness connect the broken lines. With the help of this process we can remove
    unwanted noise from captured image. This whole process can be done by signal
    processing.

    Fig 5: dilated image

    PASSING HISTOGRAM THROUGH LOW PASS FILTER-


    To minimize loss of information smooth out changes, Histogram values are
    passed through low pass filter because values of histogram between consecutive
    row and column changes drastically. This step is performed for both horizontal
    and vertical histograms. All unwanted regions of an image are removed in this
    step by filtering
    SEGMENTATION OF REGION OF INTEREST-
    In this step image has been segmented. segmentation sub divided an image into
    its constituent region or objects .The level to which subdivision is carried depends
    on the problem being solved .That is segmentation should stop when the object
    of interest in an application have been isolated.

    CHARACTER REGION ENHANCEMENT-


    To enhance the character region, if histogram equalization or gray level scaling
    is used, noise may also be enhanced. For the correct character segmentation, only
    the character pixels need to be enhanced and the background pixels need to be
    weakened.
    Whole processes is shown by following figures.

    Fig6. Segmentation of image

    CONNECTED COMPONENT ANALYSIS-


    To remove the noise, other than characters on the plate, connected component
    analysis is used. Each labelled matrix of 8-connectivity pixels is evaluated based
    on the area threshold. The result of connected component analysis and noise
    removal is as shown in Fig
    RECOGNISION OF INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER-
    For Recognition of individual alphanumeric character, template based
    Recognition method is used. In template based algorithm, segmented image is
    compared with one image which is stored in database named as template image.
    In both images best matched similarity is compared. This similarity is matched
    with statistical method correlation. The image for which the correlation
    coefficient for template image is maximum that image is best matched.
    STORING IN FILE-
    The OCR is mostly used method to recognize the character against the complete
    alphanumeric database. For this particular project purpose template matching
    algorithm is being used. After extracting the number from the number plate the
    each and every individual number will be called by one MATLAB algorithm. The
    extracted character will be comprised with the predefined characters those are
    stored in one particular folder.
    After template matching the particular images result is shown by figure

    EXPERIMENTAL RESULT & ANALYSIS-


    A database consists of different sized JPEG colored images. Images are resized
    to 2931X 1351. Total 50 images are used to test the algorithm. The images are
    taken with different background as well as illumination conditions. Experiments
    show that the algorithm has good performance on number plate extraction, and
    character segmentation work. It can deal the images correctly, with noise. This
    work is implemented using MATLAB. Character recognition work is done on
    10 digits (0 to 9) and 26 alphabets (A to Z).Some difficulties may arise for some
    different font or some unrecognizable writing. The example is shown by the
    figure 9

    CONCLUSION
    Hence this projects presents a recognition method in which the plate image is
    obtained by a digital camera and the image is processed to get the plate
    information of the vehicle which is entering the parking system withoiut any
    human interference.
