In this paper a system for Italian-style car licence plate recognition is described, based on the use of feedforward neural networks and basic image processing algorithms. The neural network replaces the entire pattern matching module encountered in similar systems. The algorithm does not actually make use of large databases, and experiments were conducted by training the neural classifier on a purely artificial training set. Nevertheless, final results are similar to those of more complicated approaches, and could be further improved by on line learning. The use of neural networks, coupled with the fast BRLS training algorithm, can substantially enhance the global recognition speed.

Abstract
In this paper a system for Italian-style car licence plate recognition is described, based on the use of feedforward neural networks and basic image processing algorithms. The neural network replaces the entire pattern matching module encountered in similar systems. The algorithm does not actually make use of large databases, and experiments were conducted by training the neural classifier on a purely artificial training set. Nevertheless, final results are similar to those of more complicated approaches, and could be further improved by on line learning. The use of neural networks, coupled with the fast BRLS training algorithm, can substantially enhance the global recognition speed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
