Abstract

Rapid population growth contributes to an increase in the volume of vehicles, creating major challenges in their management. One potential solution is the application of deep learning-based artificial intelligence technology for automatic detection of vehicle license plates. This research uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to evaluate the performance of various deep learning architectures in the detection process. Out of 125 articles identified, 20 articles were selected based on specific selection criteria. The analysis revealed that preprocessing techniques, such as HE, AHE, ECHE, CLAHE, and ECLACHE, have significant contributions in the processing of vehicle license plate datasets. These techniques were able to improve the visual quality of the images, thus supporting the detection process with an accuracy rate of more than 95%. This research also identified challenges, such as high computational requirements and large-scale data processing. Further research is recommended to apply preprocessing on standardized datasets to develop a reliable, efficient and sustainable detection system.
