Recently, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems have become widely used in safety, security, and commercial aspects. The whole ANPR system is based on three main stages: Number Plate Localization (NPL), Character Segmentation (CS), and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). In recent years, to provide better recognition rate, High Definition (HD) cameras have started to be used. However,...
There are several algorithms and methods that could be applied to perform the character recognition stage of an automatic number plate recognition system; however, the constraints of having a high recognition rate and real-time processing should be taken into consideration. In this paper four algorithms applied to Qatari number plates are presented and compared. The proposed algorithms are based on...
For the visually-impaired segment of the population, the inability to read has a substantive negative impact on their quality of life. Printed text (books, magazines, menus, labels, etc.) still represents a sizable portion of the information this group needs to have unrestricted access to. Hence, developing methods by which text can be retrieved and read out loud to the blind is critical. In this...
