Vehicle number plate recognition.

Extracts the characters from the vehicle's number plate image, using Templates matching.

You are now following this Submission

It is a vehicle's number/license plate recognition algorithm based on the very elementary technique of Templates matching. The algorithm takes an input image of the number plate (number plate should be dominant in the image) and after filtering the image, it performs region based operations. Then it tries to capture the characters regions in a processed binary image and with the aid of template matching outputs the string of number plate characters.

It's a very basic approach to the problem but still produces the appropriate results. Must check out READ_ME.txt file before going to the command prompt.

Your feedback will meant a lot to me. Your suggestions and criticism will be warmly welcomed!
Enjoy!
