More Information
Summary:Automatic License Plate Recognition system (ALPR) is essential to implement law enforcement and traffic control on transportation systems. ALPR systems consist of the tasks: license plate localization, character segmentation, and character recognition; due to the positioning of the vehicles, the localized license plate images are mostly skewed which need to be de-skewed before proceeding to character segmentation. In this paper, a novel Skew Correction Algorithm is proposed focusing on boundary line that optimizes speed and accuracy by using the Hough transforms to get the skew corrected License plate image.
