Abstract:

1. Introduction:

The project aims to develop an advanced system for vehicle number plate detection and extraction using YOLO (You Only Look Once) V5, a state-of-the-art object detection algorithm in computer vision. The system will be designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of license plate recognition, which finds applications in traffic monitoring, law enforcement, and smart city initiatives.

2. Existing System:

The current methods for license plate recognition often rely on traditional computer vision techniques, which may lack the accuracy and speed needed for real-time applications. The proposed system seeks to overcome these limitations by leveraging the power of YOLO V5, a deep learning-based approach that can detect and classify objects in an image in a single pass.

3. Problem Statement:

Existing license plate recognition systems face challenges such as low accuracy, slow processing speed, and difficulty in handling variations in illumination and plate formats. The project aims to address these issues by implementing YOLO V5, enhancing the system’s ability to accurately detect and extract license plates from diverse images.

4. Motivation:

The motivation behind this project lies in the increasing need for robust and efficient license plate recognition systems. Improved accuracy and speed in identifying vehicle number plates contribute to enhanced security, traffic management, and overall efficiency in various applications.

5. Modules Explanation:

• Image Input Module: Accepts input images from various sources.
• YOLO V5 Detection Module: Utilizes the YOLO V5 algorithm for real-time object detection.
• License Plate Extraction Module: Extracts and isolates the detected license plates.
• OCR Module: Applies Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to recognize and extract characters from the license plate.
• Database Module: Stores and manages the recognized license plate information.

6. System Requirements:

• Hardware: GPU for accelerated processing.
• Software: Python, YOLO V5, OpenCV, Tesseract OCR.
• Database: SQLite for storing license plate information.

7. Algorithms:

• YOLO V5 for object detection.
• Tesseract OCR for character recognition.

8. Hardware and Software Requirements:

• Hardware: GPU (NVIDIA recommended) for accelerated deep learning processing.
• Software: Python programming language, YOLO V5, OpenCV, Tesseract OCR, SQLite for database.

9. Architecture:

The system architecture follows a modular design with each module interacting seamlessly. Input images pass through the YOLO V5 Detection Module, and the subsequent modules process the detected license plates for character extraction and database storage.

10. Technologies Used:

• YOLO V5: For real-time object detection.
• OpenCV: Image processing and manipulation.
• Tesseract OCR: Optical Character Recognition.
• SQLite: Database management.

11. Web User Interface:

The system will include a user-friendly web interface for easy interaction. Users can upload images, and the results of license plate detection and extraction, along with recognized characters, will be displayed on the interface.

In conclusion, the proposed project, “Vehicle Number Plate Detection and Extraction Using YOLO V5,” aims to leverage cutting-edge technologies to enhance license plate recognition systems, addressing existing limitations and contributing to improved efficiency in various applications.
