Project Summary

In our project, we are providing solutions usually to vehicle owners or car drivers who often forget where they just parked their car. This problem can be seen in mall parking’s airport parking’s office parking’s e.t.c The task of vehicle finding can be solved by vehicle license plate recognition by using technologies like image processing techniques. Moreover, this project has so much potential to expand further, This project can be implemented on a big scale like towns or neighborhood, etc

Project Objectives

The primary and ultimate goal in this project is to find and provide the location of the car, where the car owner or driver has parked in the parking area, the system will be able to find the car from thousands of car parking lots or at any point designed in the parking arena, by using many technologies.

The user will interact with UML based applications and simply put the license plate number and he can find his car with only one touch.

This system also obtains information about available parking spaces in a particular area. This process is real-time to place vehicles at available positions. It involves real-time data collection using low-cost sensors.

It can moreover encourage get to security of premises and make strides security by recognizing unauthorized vehicles and alarming security workforce, as well because it can serve in a control stopping framework by giving authorized punch cards. In case the card and number plate both match at the same time at that point it'll permit for entering for an authorized vehicle.

Project Implementation Method

Phase-1

We will use prototypes of cars with have their number plates and try different number plates recognize algorithms for good results and also create a database and database we use CSV because the language we use is python.

Phase II

A preliminary design is created for the system including prototypes, software development models documentation, software engineering diagrams with OOSE techniques where the design is made to check what would be the best way of making a user-friendly UI/UX. It will represent an approximation of the final product.

Phase III

Development of software for image preprocessing for the detection of car license plate In this transmission process, the image is affected by many factors, which leads to some differences with the original image. The image pre-processing is that useless information such as noise is removed from the acquired image information. Python, MATLAB will be used for the preprocessing algorithm.

Phase-IV

After the preprocessing coding, The character recognition algorithm will be implemented The character recognition is to make a character image normalize, then to convert the normalized image to text format and then save in the database directly. And that text will be the license plate number and simply it will be saved in the database corresponding to the car parking location. Python will be used for the character recognition algorithm

Phase-V

Designing and development of the UML for interaction by using java XML and provide all the functions that are necessary for the application software. This phase will be crucial because we have to interact with the software with hardware.

Phase-IV

Testing of the software will be done in the final phase and all errors will be fixed, We will perform Unit Testing, white box, black-box testing, integration testing, and usability testing

Benefits of the Project

The emerging information technology in the 20th century helped humans in every area of life and with each passing day technology is making solutions and reducing the problems faced by humans.

The main goal is to find the car through a license plate recognition system by implementing certain algorithms. For those who forget where they parked their car in big or mega hyper parking like malls airports stadiums e.t.c.

It can also facilitate access to secure premises and improve security by detecting unauthorized vehicles and alerting security personnel, as well as it can serve in the control parking system by providing authorized punch cards. If the card and number plate both match at the same time then it will allow for parking for authorized vehicles.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Since the project needs accuracy to fetch the exact characters of license plates to provide the exact location of the car to the owner or driver via computer booths. We will use the latest technologies to perform the tasks to get the best results.

• Operating System: Windows 10
• Processor: 1.2 GHz ARM processor
• Network: 802.11n Wireless LAN
• Memory: 4GB or more
• GPIO Interface
• Ability to interface with a camera
• Ability to interface with a distance sensor
• Ability to generate PWM signals
• Ability to interact with is sensors.

Hardware Interfaces:
The project is initially using some of the hardware as will communicate with the camera using a Raspberry Pi. The embedded software in Raspberry Pi will itself communicate with the camera. Also, the Arduino Uno will open the gate of parking areas by generating PWM signals sent to an L293D IC to run the motors. The ultrasonic distance sensor communicates with Arduino using a regular GPIO interface.

Software Interfaces:
This application should be made by the following tools and technologies:

HTML,PHP,Bootstrap
Python
MSQL SERVER for database connectivity.
CSV Database
Pycharm,jupyter notebbok
Photoshop for prototypes
Entity Framework
