车牌自动识别系统也是智能交通系统的重要组成部分。它能将输入的汽车图像通过车牌定位、车牌字符分割和车牌字符识别等一系列步骤，输出为几个字节大小的车牌字符串，无论在存储空间占用上还是在于管理数据库相连等方面都有着无可比拟的优越性。在大型停车场、高速公路、交通部门的违章检测以及桥梁的收费站管理等场合，都有着广泛的应用前景。车牌识别系统的成功开发将大大加速智能交通系统的发展进程。(The license plate recognition system is also an important part of the intelligent transportation system. It can output the input car image through a series of steps, such as license plate location, license plate character segmentation and license plate character recognition. It can be output into a few byte size license plate string. It has unparalleled superiority in both storage space and management database. It has wide application prospects in large parking lots, expressway, traffic department's violation detection and Bridge toll station management. The successful development of the license plate recognition system will greatly accelerate the development process of the intelligent transportation system.)
