An Implementation of Outdoor Vehicle Localization and Tracking Using Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR)

Abstract

Controlling the traffic in the metropolitan cities and the identification of the owner of a particular vehicle becomes a difficult task throughout the world. Though traffic police, interceptor units and CCTV surveillance system etc. are in place for implementation of road safety rules, if the vehicle violates the traffic rules then the system must identify the vehicle details as well as the owner of the vehicle but it is not easy, if the vehicle displacement is very high. In all these cases getting a glimpse of vehicle number plate of the miscreant helps in reducing the effort and time to track him down. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is one of the solutions to this problem. In this paper the outdoor localization for crime investigation ALPR with Pressure-based localization is proposed to find out the vehicles. Camera in place will capture the image of the Number plate automatically using the Raspberry-Pi 4.The Pressure-based localization is implemented along with the Automatic license Plate Recognition to improve the accuracy and tracing the vehicles.
