Abstract

An innovative Automatic Vehicle License Plate Recognition (AVLPR) system that effectively identifies vehicles using deep learning algorithms. Accurate and real-time license plate identification has grown in importance with the rise in demand for improved security and traffic management.The convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture used in the AVLPR system enables the model to automatically learn and extract discriminative characteristics from photos of license plates. To ensure the system's robustness and adaptability, the dataset utilized for training and validation includes a wide range of license plate designs, fonts, and lighting situations.We incorporate data augmentation approaches to accommodate differences in license plate orientation, scale, and perspective throughout the training process to improve recognition accuracy. Additionally, we use transfer learning to enhance the system's generalization abilities by refining the pre-trained model on a sizable dataset.A trustworthy and effective solution for vehicle identification duties is provided by the Deep Learning-Based Automatic Vehicle License Plate Recognition System. Deep learning approaches are used to guarantee precise and instantaneous recognition, making it suitable for many uses such as law enforcement, parking management, and intelligent transportation systems.
