Abstract

In recent years, many researches on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been reported. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is one form of ITS technology that not only recognizes and counts vehicles, but distinguishes each as unique by recognizing and recording the license plate's characters. This paper discusses the main techniques of ALPR. Several open problems are proposed at the end of the paper for future research.
