Sunitha Beevi.K, Sajeena.A

Abstract: Segmentation is a part of License Plate Recognition (LPR) technique, used to find out a vehicle by its number plate without direct human involvement. Segmentation is a process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments. The objective of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more expressive and easier to analyze. The proposed algorithm focuses on segmenting the characters of two rows license plate image. Before the segmentation algorithm is applied, the License plate must be localized correctly by using localization algorithm.

Keywords: License plate, two rows, segmentation
