Diseño e implementación de una aplicación para la detección de placas vehiculares a partir de imágenes

Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the theoretical and practical foundations necessary for the study and implementation of algorithms that allow the detection of alphanumeric characters in a vehicle plate by means of image processing. The development of a system for the detection of vehicular plates, allows a saving of resources, besides being an aid to automate systems such as: detection of infractions or vehicle tracking. The program implemented in the MATLAB platform performs the capture of the plate, then proceeds to perform the processing of the captured image, then apply an algorithm of optical character recognition (OCR) that identifies within the image the letters and numbers that make up the vehicle plate. Finally, an analysis of the results obtained from the 280 images acquired from the Loja city under different conditions and at different times of the day is carried out, thus evaluating the performance of the solution from a technical perspective.
