Plate recognition for Malaysian vehicles using stroke analysis technique

The Road Transport Department of Malaysia has endorsed a specification for vehicle plates that includes the font and size of characters that must be followed by car owners. However, there are a special plate number where this specification is not followed such as Proton, BAMbee, Putrajaya, Tiara, Sa...
