License-Plate-Recognition-System

This is an image processing project to detect the license plate.

• I used bilateralFilter() to reduce distortion.
• Then, I applied otsu to get thresholded image.
• Then, I used opening operation to focus license plate more.
• Then, I used Canny to get a clear view for license plate.
• Then, I used findCountours() to detect the 4-pointed object.

This algorithm worked very well in most of the images. In a few images, algorithm chose some random 4-pointed object as license plate.
