Abstract: Nowadays vehicles play a very big role in transportation. Also the use of vehicles has been increasing because of population growth and human needs in recent years. Therefore, control of vehicles is becoming a big problem and much more difficult to solve . The presence of noise, blurring in the image, uneven illumination, dim light and foggy conditions make the task even more difficult. Nowadays, intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) have a significant impact on people’s lives. ITSs include intelligent infrastructure systems and intelligent vehicle systems. In the current information technology era, the use of automations and intelligent systems is becoming more and more widespread. Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) has turned out to be an important research issue. ALPR has many applications in traffic monitoring system, including controlling the traffic volume, ticketing vehicles without the human control, vehicle tracking, policing, security, and so on. In this paper categorize different ALPR techniques according to the features they used for each stage, and compare them in terms of pros, cons, recognition accuracy and processing speed
