  • Abstract:
  • Motorcycles have always been the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Motorcycle accidents have increased in recent years. One of the main reasons for fatalities in accidents is that a motorcyclist does not wear a protective helmet. The most common way to ensure that motorcyclists wear a helmet is by traffic police to manually monitor motorcyclists at road junctions or through CCTV footage and to penalize those without a helmet. But it requires human intervention and effort. This system proposes an automated system for detecting motorcyclists who do not wear a helmet and a system for retrieving motorcycle number plates from CCTV video footage. First, the system classifies moving objects as motorcycling or non-motorcycling. In the case of a classified motorcyclist, the head portion is located and classified as a helmet or non-helmet. Finally, the motorcyclist without a helmet is identified. Further we have developed a system which identifies the number plates and extracts the characters of the number plate using OCR algorithm.
