The vehicle number plate recognition system (VNPRS) is an essential
component of the Sri Lankan Traffic System. The main aim of this project
is to design an efficient automated authorized vehicle identification
system by using the vehicle number plate. The system uses the character
recognition of the vehicle license plate based on template matching and
is mainly applicable to Sri Lankan vehicle number plates.The proposed
system uses a regular PC with a video camera, and captures the image of
vehicle number plate. Once the camera captures a number plate, it will
be processed for the character conversation by optical character
recognition (OCR) mechanism. Then characters are checked against a
centralized database, which stores detailed information of Sri Lankan
vehicles. As a result, the system displays its status, of which the
information is being updated by relevant departments instantly. The
system pops up a screen to notify the Police Department that the vehicle
in inspection has committed an offense or other related alerting
notifications. Introduction of vehicle detection for automation of
vehicle identification in Sri Lanka involves an unaffordable investment
cost to purchase foreign technology and equipment which do not cater to
Sri Lankan traffic needs, unless some locally developed cost-effective
system is introduced, such as VNPRS.
