Vehicle License Plate Detection and Recognition System

This is a survey paper on the Vehicle License Plate Detection and Recognition System.This system works in five phases.The first phase is the input given to the system which is an image of the vehicle with clearly visible license plate.The second phase is the localization of the license plate from the image.The third phase is the segmentation of the characters in the localized license plate.In the fourth phase the segmented characters are recognized using Artificial Neural Networks.In the fifth and final phase these recognized characters are stored in a database for further reference.
