MATLAB-Based License Plate Recognition System Using Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Algorithms

Detailed Documentation

A MATLAB-based license plate recognition system is a technology developed using MATLAB software for automatically identifying license plate information on vehicles. This system employs image processing techniques such as edge detection, morphological operations, and color segmentation to locate license plate regions, followed by character segmentation algorithms to isolate individual characters. Pattern recognition algorithms including template matching, optical character recognition (OCR), and machine learning approaches are implemented to accurately identify characters and numbers on license plates, converting them into text format. Key MATLAB functions used include imread() for image input, rgb2gray() for grayscale conversion, edge() for boundary detection, and regionprops() for character analysis. Through this system, users can quickly and accurately obtain vehicle license information, enabling functionalities such as vehicle management and security monitoring.
