In this study, we propose a solution for building an Intelligent
Parking Support System (IPSS). The IPSS not only
has characteristics as other information systems but also acts
as an intelligent system which integrates three recognition
techniques including automatic recognition for motorcycle
license plate, barcode recognition, and semiautomatic recognition
via surveillance cameras. Moreover, in this work we
introduce a three-stage process for automatic license plate
recognition: First, we locate and extract the license plate
area. Then, in that area, we locate and extract images of
letters. Next, for each image of letter, we propose a simple
but eective method to convert that image to binary values
