License Plate Recognition (LPR) is an image-processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates.
This technology is used in various security and traffic applications, such as the access-control systems.
The system uses illumination (such as Infra-red) and a camera to take the image of the front or rear of the vehicle, then an image-processing software analyzes the images and extracts the plate information.
