Extraction of characters from a particular number plate can be done through various methods. The optical character extraction under different illumination conditions application is one of the applications through which characters can be extracted under various illuminating conditions. This system will help in detecting the character in various illumination conditions. Edge detection and color detecting methods are being used in order to achieve this task. This will be one of the interesting applications that one can work on and implement in real time world with great ease. To this system an image of number plate will be inputted at various lighting conditions.

People can rely on this application with great ease inorder to detect the optical character in the number plate which will be not gotthrough the normal manual process. MATLAB image processing toolbox is used inorder to implement this system. The image that is inputted in the RGB formatwill be converted to gray scale and then image segmentation will be used bythis system. The characters that are present in the number plate can bedetected with great ease through the use of this application under variousilluminating conditions. This will be one of the applications that the finalyear students can implement without any difficulty. In order to find the characters in the number plate this application can be of great helpThe features that can be included in the optical character extraction under different illumination conditionsare as follows:

• Detect characters: The characters in the number plate can be detected during various lighting conditions.
• Reduce human labor: This project can help in reducing the human labor with great ease.
• Efficient: This project can help in detecting the characters efficiently with great ease at various illuminating conditions.
• Saves time: This application can help in saving the time since the humans need not personally find for the characters in the number plate.
