Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is the extraction of vehicle license plate
information from an image or a sequence of images. The extracted information can be used …

With the explosive growth in the number of vehicles in use, automated license plate
recognition (ALPR) systems are required for a wide range of tasks such as law enforcement …

Traffic control and vehicle owner identification has become major problem in every country.
Sometimes it becomes difficult to identify vehicle owner who violates traffic rules and drives …

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how the intelligent transportation
system (ITS) supports freight transportation operations. A study of the literature on …

License plate detection and recognition (LPDR) has attracted considerable attention in
recent years, and many algorithms have presented the competitive performance on several …

We discuss the use of histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) descriptors as an effective tool
for text description and recognition. Specifically, we propose a HOG-based texture descriptor …

Abstract 1 This paper presents a new algorithm for detecting and extracting license plates
from a complex image by using a fuzzy two-dimensional Gabor filter. The filter parameters …

We describe S nooper T ext, an original detector for textual information embedded in photos
of building façades (such as names of stores, products and services) that we developed for …

Over the past two decades, the number of vehicles have increased intensely. With this
increase, it is gradually more difficult to track each vehicle for law enforcement and traffic …

Text is a significant tool for human communication, and text recognition in scene images
becomes more and more important. In this paper, we propose a residual convolutional …
