Abstract: The increasing number of automobiles is gradually resulting in a high number of off-road accidents. Accidents are most likely to occur only when traffic regulations are violated. These kinds of activities generally require patrolling by police for speeding vehicles. We thus reduce human effort in this system by bringing in automated license plate detectors. These detectors can read the license plate of the vehicles and store it for future use. Given that a vehicle is found speeding, the plate number is noted by the detector and the culprits can be caught easily. It can also be used to check upon air pollution levels and fine vehicles causing pollution more than the level as specified by the pollution board. We can also use it to identify vehicle owners and check whether they have registered license plates or a fake number plate. It also can be used for collecting tolls on highways by automatic systems or for theft control. The license plate detector in this paper can also read license numbers written in foreign dialects or in other formats, such as Arabic, Hindi, Urdu etc. The tools used are Open source programming language of Python and its Open Computer Vision library (OpenCV).
