hello all, 
It would be grateful if any1 can help me please. I have a degree project on Number plate recognition and i only know how to read image, convert to binary/grayscale, thresholding. i just started using matlab and its pretty complicated but interesting for me..but am willing to learn.. 

So for the time being i would like to know: 
1) how to isolate the number plate (i read that hough transform can be used for that purpose but i dont know how).
2) how to determine the angle of inclination to use with radon transform.

(the codes wid comments would be nice).

here is/are the image(s) i wana work with:

don't you think it's a bit bold to expect CSSMers to do your degree work for you(?!)...

I addition to searching this newsgroup, where license plate OCR is
probably only behind face recognition in posting frequency, you can
try the USC listing of image processing papers:
http://iris.usc.edu/Vision-Notes/bibliography/contents.html

Pay particular attention to section "16.7.2.5 License Plate
Recognition, Extraction, Analysis"
http://www.visionbib.com/bibliography/motion-f725.html

and section 23 on "23 OCR, Document Analysis and Character Recognition
Systems "

The links you have provided are not accessible

you should have a look at 

http://javaanpr.sourceforge.net/

it is an open source project. You could rewrite the recognition engine in Matlab.

or you could incorporate an out of the box library, and call it from Matlab. This one is shareware
