Abstract :
License plate recognition (LPR) plays a major role to detect the plate number of the vehicles, As the number of vehicles increasing day by day so stealing of vehicles, breaking traffic rules, entering restricted area are also increases linearly, so to control these things license plate recognition system is designed. License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems basically consist of 3 main operations are carried out such as: Detection of number plate´s area, Segmentation of plate characters and Recognition of each character. Among this, the detection of plate´s area and recognition of each character is very difficult task due to the different in plate style and various character font. So in order to overcome these problems the genetic algorithm (GA) is used to detect the any type of plate´s area and Artificial neural network (ANN) is used for recognized the any font style of character.
