Abstract
The rising number of automobiles has led to an increased demand for a reliable license plate identification system that can perform effectively in diverse conditions. This applies to local authorities, public organizations, and private companies in Morocco, as well as worldwide. To meet this need, a strong License Plate Recognition (LPR) system is required, taking into account local plate specifications and fonts used by plate manufacturers. This paper presents an intelligent LPR system based on the YOLOv5 framework, trained on a customized dataset encompassing multiple fonts and circumstances such as illumination, climate, and lighting. The system incorporates an intelligent region segmentation level that adapts to the plate's type, improving recognition accuracy and addressing separator issues. Remarkably, the model achieves an impressive precision rate of 99.16% on problematic plates with specific illumination, separators, and degradations. This research represents a significant advancement in the field of license plate recognition, providing a reliable solution for accurate identification and paving the way for broader applications in Morocco and beyond. Keywords—License plate recognition; YOLOv5; intelligent region segmentation; customized dataset; Moroccan license plate issues; fonts-based data
期刊介绍:
IJACSA is a scholarly computer science journal representing the best in research. Its mission is to provide an outlet for quality research to be publicised and published to a global audience. The journal aims to publish papers selected through rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure originality, timeliness, relevance, and readability. In sync with the Journal''s vision "to be a respected publication that publishes peer reviewed research articles, as well as review and survey papers contributed by International community of Authors", we have drawn reviewers and editors from Institutions and Universities across the globe. A double blind peer review process is conducted to ensure that we retain high standards. At IJACSA, we stand strong because we know that global challenges make way for new innovations, new ways and new talent. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications publishes carefully refereed research, review and survey papers which offer a significant contribution to the computer science literature, and which are of interest to a wide audience. Coverage extends to all main-stream branches of computer science and related applications
