License Plate Extraction and Recognition (LPER) play a vital role in various applications within intelligent transport systems (ITS), including surveillance, traffic flow monitoring, stolen vehicle tracking, and parking lot management. This paper presents a comprehensive system design for implementing LPER specifically tailored to Indian License Plates. The LPER process encompasses three essential stages: License Plate Extraction, segmentation, and classification. Each stage necessitates specialized techniques adapted to real-world scenarios, each characterized by distinct attributes. The license plate extraction techniques are utilized to accurately locate the license plate region, which is succeeded by segmentation algorithms that effectively isolate individual characters. Subsequently, a classification step is employed to recognize these segmented characters. The overall efficacy of the process hinges upon the precision achieved at each sequential step. To significantly enhance the classification step's performance, we propose an innovative amalgamated approach that integrates segmentation and classification into a cohesive single-stage process. This integration harnesses the power of deep learning methodologies, incorporating Morphological and Enhanced sliding contract window (ESCW)-based number plate detection alongside the employment of the AlexNet neural network. Our experimental findings underscore the efficacy of this proposed approach, showcasing an outstanding accuracy of 97.2% in accurately recognizing characters on vehicle license plates. This achievement notably surpasses the accomplishments of prior endeavors in this field, signifying a significant advancement in LPER technology.
