Image processing is not a one step process．We are able to distinguish between several steps which must be performed one after the other until we can extract the data of interest from the observed scene．In this way a hierarchical processing scheme is built up as sketched in Fig．The figure gives an overview of the different phases of image processing.

Image processing begins with the capture of an image with a suitable，not necessarily optical，acquisition system．In a technical or scientific application，we may choose to select an appropriate imaging system．Furthermore，we can set up the illumination system，choose the best wavelength range，and select other options to capture the object feature of interest in the best way in an image．Once the image is sensed，it must be brought into a form that can be treated with digital computers.This process is called digitization.

With the problems of traffic are more and more serious. Thus Intelligent Transport System (ITS) comes out. The subject of the automatic recognition of license plate is one of the most significant subjects that are improved from the connection of computer vision and pattern recognition. The image imputed to the computer is disposed and analyzed in order to localization the position and recognition the characters on the license plate express these characters in text string form The license plate recognition system (LPSR) has important application in ITS. In LPSR, the first step is for locating the license plate in the captured image which is very important for character recognition. The recognition correction rate of license plate is governed by accurate degree of license plate location. In this paper, several of methods in image manipulation are compared and analyzed, then come out the resolutions for localization of the car plate. The experiences show that the good result has been got with these methods. The methods based on edge map and frequency analysis is used in the process of the localization of the license plate, that is to say, extracting the characteristics of the license plate in the car images after being checked up for the edge, and then analyzing and processing until the probably area of license plate is extracted.

The automated license plate location is a part of the image processing ,it’s also an important part in the intelligent traffic system．It is the key step in the Vehicle License Plate Recognition(LPR).A method for the recognition of images of different backgrounds and different illuminations is proposed in the paper.the upper and lower borders are determined through the gray variation regulation of the character distribution.The left and right borders are determined through the black-white variation of the pixels in every row.

The first steps of digital processing may include a number of different operations and are known as image processing．If the sensor has nonlinear characteristics, these need to be corrected．Likewise，brightness and contrast of the image may require improvement．Commonly，too，coordinate transformations are needed to
