Abstract :
The extraction and recognition of a Thai vehicle license plate based on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) and Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) is presented. The license plate area is in a maximally stable extremal region of a car image. It can be effectively extracted from MSERs by multiple classifications. The feature extraction of characters from the license plate is based on Zernike moment. The feature is used as a training dataset for the BPNN to recognize the characters. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is an effective method for the extraction and recognition of a Thai license plate.
