This paper presents an efficient method for license plate detection and recognition that will aid in the development of an intelligent transport system. To significantly accelerate license plate localization a simple image pre-processing method is first used without reducing detection performance compared with that obtained using original image. Line density filter approach is used to extract the license plate regions, there by significantly reducing area to be analysed for license plate localization. In license plate recognition, the characters are recognized from these detected license plates by using optical character recognition and the owner details are displayed. The aim of this paper is to serve the purpose of accurately localizing vehicle license plates from complex scenes in real time that would help motor vehicle department in various ways.
