Abstract :
A license plate recognition system based on neural networks was designed and developed. The system used a neural-network chip to recognize license plates. The chip combined video image processing module with neural network module by using equalized image processing algorithm and network classification algorithm. A set of interface circuit was developed for implementing license-plate-number recognition. Experiment results show the system can guarantee a very low error rate at an acceptable recognition time.
