AB  - The increase of car ownership every year will
also produce a higher demands of parking space
especially in office buildings, shopping malls and highrise
residential buildings. The difficulties for car drivers
at parking lot are the process of taking, keeping and
paying parking ticket as well as searching for available
parking lot during peak hours. The conventional methods
of finding parking space is time consuming and do not
detect the car plate number. This study presents a solution
in car plate detection and character recognition and also
notifying the drivers on the availability of parking space
in real-time. In this study, an image processing technique
of point feature matching has been used to detect the car
plate number upon the car entering the building, store the
time of entry and the time of exit to automatically
calculate the parking fee as well as notifying the available
parking spot in real-time. The testing results on the car
plate detection shows an increase on 14.8% recognition
rate from the previous work. This solution is suitable for
huge parking space in commercial site, government
building, airports and shopping complex.
