Automatic Number Plate Recognition: Fundamentals and Applications

Automatic number-plate recognition is a technique that reads car registration plates by employing optical character recognition on photographs of the plates. This allows for the creation of data regarding the location of vehicles. It may make use of existing closed-circuit television, cameras installed for the purpose of enforcing road rules, or cameras that have been specifically created for the job. Law enforcement agencies all over the world make use of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology for a variety of reasons, including checking to see if a vehicle is licensed or registered. It is also used for the electronic collection of tolls on roads that operate on a pay-per-use basis and as a tool for cataloguing the movements of traffic, for example by organizations responsible for highways.
