Automatic Number Plate Detection (ANPR), also referred to as Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), is a technology that plays a crucial role in modern surveillance and traffic management systems. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of ANPR technology, focusing on its technical aspects, implementation strategies, benefits, and impact on various sectors. The paper discusses the history and development of ANPR, key components of ANPR systems, image pre-processing techniques, license plate localization, segmentation algorithms, and optical character recognition methods. Furthermore, it explores the implementation of ANPR systems, including hardware requirements and software solutions, through case studies and examples of successful deployments. Ethical and legal considerations surrounding ANPR technology, such as privacy concerns and data protection regulations, are also examined. Additionally, the paper discusses future trends and challenges in ANPR technology, including emerging technologies, integration with other surveillance systems, and ongoing efforts to improve accuracy and reliability. Through this analysis, the paper highlights the significance of ANPR in enhancing vehicle surveillance, traffic management, and public safety, while also addressing potential concerns and avenues for further research.
