Advanced Vehicle Detection and License Plate Recognition via the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi Technique
Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The optimization of traffic flow, enhancement of safety measures, and minimization of emissions in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) pivotally depend on the Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) technology. Challenges predominantly arise in the precise localization and accurate identification of license plates, which are critical for the applicability of VLPR across various domains, including law enforcement, traffic management, and both governmental and private sectors. Utilization in electronic toll collection, personal security, visitor management, and smart parking systems is commercially significant. In this investigation, a novel methodology grounded in the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm is introduced, targeting the localization, segmentation, and recognition of characters within license plates. Implementation was conducted utilizing MATLAB software, with grayscale images derived from both still cameras and video footage serving as the input. An extensive evaluation of the results revealed an accuracy of 99.267%, a precision of 100%, a recall of 99.267%, and an F-Score of 99.632%, thereby surpassing the performance of existing methodologies. The contribution of this research is significant in addressing critical challenges inherent in VLPR systems and achieving an enhanced performance standard.
