For　the　disadvantage　of　high　cost　and　poor　practicability　of　traditional　license　plate　recognition　technology　based　on　PC,　apply　this　technology　on　the　ZYNQ　to　implement　the　hardware　acceleration　of　the　license　plate　recognition　algorithm.　The　platform　consists　of　programmable　logic　(PL)and　a　processing　system　(PS).　The　hardware　acceleration　of　the　algorithm　of　license　plate　location　is　completed　through　the　part　PL;　On　the　PS　runs　the　Linux　system.　In　terms　of　license　plate　recognition　algorithm,　we　use　the　edge　detection　algorithm,　vertical　projection　method　and　template　matching　method　respectively　for　the　location　of　license　plate　image,　character　segmentation　and　recognition.　Finally,　it　implement　the　Hardware　acceleration　of　license　plate　recognition　and　reduce　the　time　for　the　license　plate　recognition　algorithm.　©　2017　IEEE.
