ABSTRACT
Automatic License Plate Recognition (LPR) is a real time embedded system which identifies the characters directly from the image of the license plate. LPR systems are very useful to law enforcement agencies as the need for radio frequency identification tags and similar equipments are minimized. Since number plate guidelines are not strictly practiced everywhere, it often becomes difficult to correctly identify the non-standard number plate characters. The non-adherence of the system to any particular country-specific standard & fonts effectively means that this system can be used in many different countries - a
