Nameplate Text Detector using Android Application

Abstract

Nameplate Text Detector using Android Application” based on Android platform. It premises is to make our daily life easy. With this application anyone can track to his/her vehicle from any complain on the other hand a traffic surgeon or traffic police can easily update the complaint. This report provides detailed description on how I created the application and also how I eased the process of android development while creating the application. A vehicle registration plate, or license plate, is attached to vehicles for official identification purposes. The identifier, often numerical or alphanumerical, can be used for uniquely identifying a vehicle within the issuing regions database. There are numerous reasons why it is necessary for individuals or organizations to identify a vehicle and thus its owner. Examples include law/police enforcement, traffic control, and access to restricted areas, electronic toll collection or checking parking permissions purposes. In some of the applications like traffic law enforcement, road monitoring and expressway toll system, where license plate recognition is used, it is necessary to process a large number of vehicles in a short time. In daily life there is huge traffic on roads, in this scenario application has to do very fast processing. Otherwise, violators and criminals can escape. The detection of a single license plate and the recognition of its characters in a reliable way is an expensive task, since it relies on computation intensive algorithms. Dedicated systems have been developed for this purpose delivering the necessary computational power. Once a license plate has been recognized it needs to be submitted to an, often remote, IT system to match it against a database finally identifying the vehicle and possibly its driver. Then this information can be processed and used for dedicated purposes.
