As seen in the previous post, the format and specifications of the number plate changes depending on the type of vehicles.Therefore, it is necessary to select the correct class of vehicle as per user requirements and constraints. This is also necessary because size and location of number plate is also critical to the system. The types of vehicles that will be considered are given below: Private  Commercial Government Four-wheeler Two-wheeler Heavy Vehicle Small Vehicle                                                                                                                                   

In India, there are different types of number plates in existence that differ in background color, size and even format. Different formats are defined for military vehicles, diplomatic vehicles, government vehicles and temporary license plates. Plate specifications like font, background color, font size and plate size is also defined on basis of different classes of vehicles. A tabular information regarding this is given below:                      This wide range in specifications can be a problem in designing a proper methodology for the project.  Therefore, on the basis of user requirements analysis and given time-frame, a standard specification will be selected.

The main purpose of ANPR project is to recognize the characters present in the number plate. To do this first, understanding the standard format of Indian Number Plate is required.  Since June 1, 2005, the Government of India has introduced High Security  Registration (HSR) number plates which are tamper proof. All new motorized  road vehicles that come into the market have to adhere to the new plates, while  existing vehicles have been given two years to comply with. Features  incorporated include the number plate having a patented chromium hologram; a  laser numbering containing the alpha-numeric identification of both the testing  agency and manufacturers and a retro-reflective film bearing a verification  inscription "India" at a 45-degree inclination. The numbers would be embossed  on the plate, rather than being painted for better visibility. The term "India" is to  be in a light shade of blue.  But still most of the vehicl...
