Design of a recognition system for special Malaysian car plates using stroke analysis

Car-plate recognition systems are used commercially, both in the overseas and locally. In Malaysia, however, the usage of car-plate recognition systems is restricted to the ordinary car-plates. This means that the system is unable to detect car-plates assigned for taxis, as well as special types of...

This means that the system is unable to detect car-plates assigned for taxis, as well as special types of car-plates.
