This paper presents a method for recognition of the vehicle number plate from the image using neural networks and mathematical morphology. The main theme is to use different morphological operations in such a way so that the number plate of the vehicle can be extracted efficiently. The technique makes the extraction of the plate independent of color, location and size of number plate. The proposed approach can be divided into simple processes, which are, image enhancement, morphing transformation, morphological gradient, combination of resultant images and extracting the number plate from the objects that are left in the image. Then segmentation is applied to recognize the plate using neural network. This algorithm can quickly and correctly recognize the number plate from the vehicle image.References
