A new method for detection of an automobile registration plate using optical morphology is proposed. In this method, we recognize corners of an automobile registration plate and detect it. First of all, we design optimal structuring elements for corner recognition and they are applied to optical rank order HNT(Hit Miss Transform). Optical rank order HMT gives better performance than standard HMT in random noises and cluttered image. In the case of automobile registration plate with noise, we eliminated it by opening and closing. The computer simulation and optical experiment show that proposed method has good capability of detecting automobile registration plate.
