CHAPTER 2LITERATURE REVIEWCar Plate Recognition System is an important application of trafficmonitoring and <strong>car</strong> <strong>plate</strong> <strong>image</strong> detection [4]. Basically the <strong>system</strong> is built up fromfew parts; <strong>image</strong> <strong>capturing</strong> <strong>system</strong>, which is used to capture <strong>real</strong>-<strong>time</strong> <strong>image</strong> thatconsist of <strong>car</strong> <strong>plate</strong>, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing, it is about the<strong>image</strong> pre-processing, license <strong>plate</strong> localization, <strong>plate</strong> character extraction andcharacter <strong>recognition</strong> [5]. This project mainly concerns with the <strong>real</strong>-<strong>time</strong> <strong>image</strong><strong>capturing</strong> part of the Car Plate Recognition System.2.1 Development HistoryCar Plate Recognition System also known as Automatic Number PlateRecognition (ANPR) System was invented by the Police Scientific DevelopmentBranch in United Kingdom in the year of 1976. The first trial <strong>system</strong> was tested onthe A1 road and at the Dart<strong>for</strong>d Tunnel. The <strong>system</strong> successfully detected a case of astolen <strong>car</strong> through the video recorded in year of 1981 [6].
