Abstract
Mobile phone has become one of the necessities in life and thus, the improvement has been done to both the hardware and software aspect of mobile phone. The availability of camera phone has provided a means to develop various type of mobile phone application on the subject of image processing, such as License Plate Recognition (LPR). Due to huge number of vehicles are reported as stolen every year, more LPR system which capture images of vehicles and reads the plates registration number automatically are developed. Since the camera used for LPR system is usually expensive, we decided to use the inexpensive mobile phone camera to capture the license plate images. In this paper, a technique to recognize license from image captured by camera phone is developed using Java 2 Micro Edition, for mobile phone application. Due to mobile phone has less processing speed, simple algorithm such as intensity based localization technique, horizontal and vertical projection for character segmentation and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technique is applied in this project.
