Abstract
Low-resolution images can be reconstructed into high-resolution images using the Super-resolution Convolution Neural Network (SRCNN) algorithm. This study aims to improve the vehicle license plate number's recognition accuracy by generating a high-resolution vehicle image using the SRCNN. The recognition is carried out by two types of character recognition methods: Tesseract OCR and SPNet. The training data for SRCNN uses the DIV2K dataset consisting of 900 images, while the training data for character recognition uses the Chars74 dataset. The high-resolution images constructed using SRCNN can increase the average accuracy of vehicle license plate number recognition by 16.9 % using Tesseract and 13.8 % with SPNet.
