Identifying a Car Plate number

Hi dear friends,
I have a sequence of low quality images that capture by a regular shop camera.
I wanna identify license plate of the car in images. I am wondering if it is possible to use the sequences, to zoom in the image and identify the license plate?
15 images of the sequence are attached, if more are needed, i'll attach more.
Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds interesting. Can't wait to see some results on this!
 
Since you didn't ask for advice on possible techniques, but you actually provided images for others to work on, I have to assume that you are asking others to do your homework for you. I don't help people that way.

OTOH, if you want information on automated object registration / object tracking and morphing, a key component in what you need to do, I suggest you Google phrases related to those subjects.

This is not my homework. actually, this is an idea i wanna propose for my course. i said any help will be appreciated, so i guess advice is a kind of help too!
I create a topic in Photoshop community, so expecting solution related to this software would not be unreasonable.
 
Hi Mbt -

Later tonight, I'll see if I can find some good seminal articles on those topics for you. It sounds like a very nice idea for a project, both in and of itself, as well as w.r.t. future employment. For example, there are all sorts of forensics and intel applications for such software.

BTW, would you eventually be writing new code yourself, or using canned software?

PS - FYI, I've been teaching the senior design / senior thesis course for the past ten or 11 years at my university and will be happy to help you if you have other questions. It sounds like our students may have a similar path to you. We first have them brainstorm ideas, select one and write it up, we critique it, make sure they have the appropriate skill / knowledge set, and then they are mentored through the next two semesters.
 
Thank Tom Mann, i am grateful for your guide. In this level, i prefer to test some software to see state-of-the-art results. Then i will go for the coding and improving part. Can you introduce any software for this purpose?
 
This should get you started:

- - - short description of each of the major stages in the process

Although the above only gives a soft, non-technical intro, for hard-core info on the algorithms involved, I'm sure that knowing the name of just this one product (and a list of its processing stages), you can track the development of this product + its competitors through both the traditional technical journals (particularly, IEEE, OSA, SPIE journals), as well as the patent literature (ie, uspto.gov)

HTH,

This is a pricy commercial product for a very specialized market. It is almost certainly bundled with their hardware. Products like this are never sold the same way as products for the general public are sold (eg, PS, Word, etc.). One typically contacts their sales reps and you set up a demo once you have established that you are a potential buyer or someone else that might help them out (eg, a researcher, even just a student doing a project).

Since this is for a course, you may want to contact one of their reps, explain the situation, and they sometimes will surprise you and, for academic purposes want to work with you and/or your professor. If they seem to be going in this direction, you will almost certainly need an email from your prof to get to this stage, and they will likely require an NDA. They obviously don't want their software to be in the hands of one of their competitors (who could reverse engineer it), or some kook who wants to use it to stalk someone.

As I said in my earlier email, finding one product like this is not the be-all-and-end-all of your search. It is just a beginning -- an entry point to the field that will introduce you to concepts, give you technical search terms, give you people and companies to contact, etc.
