Abstract

As a significant stage in an Automatic Number Plate recognition (ANPR) system, License plate localization (LPL) is often computationally expensive. A novel LPL algorithm using morphological operations is proposed in the paper. The algorithm has the property of low complexity and high detection rate. The algorithm has been proved to successfully implement and using the Mentor Graphics RC240 FPGA board equipped with a 4M Gates Xilinx Virtex-4 LX40 and a database of 2000 image. Results show that the proposed method achieves 98.4% detection rate within 2.7ms at the expense of only 2% of the available area in the FPGA.
