License Plate Recognition (LPR) has gained popularity among researchers due to its wide range of applications, including law enforcement, monitoring, and toll gate systems. However, existing LPR systems still require improvements to achieve optimum accuracy and speed. The advancements in Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) variants offer potential solutions for these challenges. This primary aim of this system is to ensure accurate and efficient recognition of the vehicle plate characters using CNN techniques. This research utilizes two CNN network architectures for deep object detection to address the Malaysian License Plate Recognition (MLPR) task. The first network is designed to detect the license plate, while the second is responsible for recognizing the characters on the plate. Both networks are cascaded from the architecture of two-stage YOLOv2, providing promising speed and accuracy. The MLPR system achieved an accuracy of 98.75% and a processing speed of 0.0104 seconds, using a total of 2,200 license plate images. In conclusion, the system adapted from deep object detection techniques presents a promising solution for the MLPR problem, based on the achieved accuracy and speed.
