Abstract
This paper implements the Support Vector Machine (SVM) training 
procedure proposed by John Platt denominated Sequential Minimimal 
Optimization (SMO). The application of this system involves a 
multi-style license plate characters recognition identifying numbers 
from '0' to '9'. In order to be robust against license plates with 
different character/background colors, the characters (numbers) visual 
information is encoded using Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG). A 
reliability measure to validate the system outputs is also proposed. 
Several tests are performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the algorithm 
to different parameters and kernel functions.
