Abstract: An Improved Bernsen Algorithm approaches for License Plate Recognition (LPR) applied to the
intelligent transportation system. LPR is an image processing technology used to identify the vehicles by their
license plates. License plate recognition is mainly based on two methods. One is License plate detection method
which is based on Improved Bernsen Algorithm and the other is license plate character recognition method. The
proposed LPR algorithm consists of three modules: 1) Locating the license plates; 2) Segmenting the
characters; and 3) Identifying the license characters. The algorithm was tested with 100 images, such as an
Indian vehicle images using different backgrounds. The experimental results show the algorithm can divide the
character of plate effectively.
Keywords: Bernsen algorithm, character recognition, feature extraction, License Plate Recognition.
