Abstract
Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) has turned out to be an important research issue in recent years, which is a famous Intelligent Transport System. License Plate Localization is the core module of License Plate Recognition System, which determines the overall performance of the whole License Plate Recognition System. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a brief source of reference study of various License Plate Localization methods depending on the techniques they have used and a comparison of each technique in terms of their merits, demerits, computational power, detection success rate and accuracy, the execution time and speed of the whole License Plate System, which will be helpful for the researchers.
