Estimation of Reliability Parameters of Vehicle Number Plate Recognition System

Abstract

Vehicle Number Plate detection is an image processing technique to detect the vehicle number from the real time images. Reliability is an important factor accountable for every aspect of life. In this paper the author has considered a vehicle number plate recognition system. The system consists of four subsystems.Image acquisition, Extraction of plate region,Segmentation of characters and recognition of plate characters. The authors have used algebra of logics and Boolean function technique for the purpose of formulation of mathematical model and its solution. Reliability and M.T.T.F. for the system have evaluated. Some particular cases have also given to improve practical utility of the model.The findings of the present paper will be highly useful for developing proper strategies which can be implemented in order to enhance system performance.
