In India, even though Government authorities especially the Road Transport Authorities suggest the simplification of name-plate of the vehicle, the name plates sometimes bare extra regions like signs, symbols, name of the owner, well-liked sayings and advertising boards to the vehicle license plate. Therefore the circumstances demand for accurate recognition of ‘text class and fine aspect ratio analysis’ to recognize the vehicle number first. Along with this extra care that has to be taken up to extract license plate of vehicles i.e., two-wheeler such as motorcycle or scooter (size of plate is small and double row plate), car (single as well as double row kind), transport system such as truck, bus, as well as multiple license plates, there is a need for digital image frame and is detailed in this paper.

It is observed in many cases that a vehicle is not only identified by its number plate but by the model of the vehicle also possesses information so that it could be identified from the distance or remote location as the number plate can only be extracted once the camera is focused. The newly developed RTA Software can identify the vehicle with number, and additional features can be identified by it appearance i.e. its shape, model, color or style of the body. Therefore, in order to identify a vehicle on road, primarily, its data in terms of its body or appearance is also an important source of information to link-up and that should be retrieved or extracted from its image as well. This information can then be linked to the Data available with Road Transport Authorities and further analysis can be done as deemed fit. The Digital Image processing thus is a vital field in Vehicle Tracking System.
