License plate recognition using image processing and shape collation

Effort has been made in this article to use new methods for recognizing Iranian vehicles’ license plates. It would be possible for us to extract the area encompassing the license plate using the science of image processing on the blue regions within the plate, later to make the image areas separately distinct from other areas according to the geometrical plate shape. And, tease out – through modern methodology – in a much more secure manner, the license plate numbers, so that finally the extracted digits could be distinguished by means of shape collation.
