License Plate Recognition System Group B1: ECE 4006D Fall 2002 Jamey Brown Alantria Harris Matthew Noury Amit Patel John Rafferty License Plate Recognition System
Introduction Our Product Existing Products Anticipated Challenges Materials Needed Project Organization Project Structure Images OCR Database GUI Testing Plan Economic Analysis Conclusion Outline License Plate Recognition System
Introduction • License Plate Recognition is an image processing technology that is used to identify vehicles by their license plates. • Works by extracting the characters from an image. • Used for many applications: tollbooths, parking decks, border control, law enforcement, etc. License Plate Recognition System
Our Product • We will design a license plate recognition system that will be used for law enforcement • Based on a Linux platform • Works with stationary vehicles • Customized for the Georgia License Plate License Plate Recognition System
Existing Products • Most systems are available outside of the US. • Applications available in the US: • SeeCar • Perceptics • Pearpoint License Plate Recognition System
Anticipated Challenges • OCR accuracy • Inter-process communication License Plate Recognition System
Server Setup • Red Hat Linux 7.2 • MySQL • Apache & PHP – Database Accessibility • Glade License Plate Recognition System
Why Linux? • Free • Open Source Product model • No licensing issues – Product is scalable License Plate Recognition System
