Abstract
Vehicle identification systems according to the License plates are heavily used. One of the challenges in this area is to create low cost systems based on standard equipment. World of mobile devices based on Android operating system with a strong computing power, opens possibilities that did not exist before. We implemented a system that identifies license plates in Android platform, developed on a GALAXY Camera.
This application can be useful in many systems, for example: entry barrier control system for vehicles, dynamic vehicle identification system (photo from a moving vehicle), camera tracking and more. Its main usage is for policemen, who can identify a stolen car while driving

- Eccentricity
Android Application
- Data Base-
- A text file
- Contains the number, manufacturer and color of the car
- Contains the information whether the car is stolen or not
