Hardware-accelerated localization for automated license plate recognition system

Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a continuous process of extracting license plate information from a series of input images. Localization is an imperative stage in ALPR system because it extracts the sub image which contains the potential license plate for subsequent processing. Many AL...
