The project definition is to extract the number plate from a vehicle (either a car or scooter anything).
The fisrt step is to covert the color image into binarisation

Edited to stop my eyes bleeding. The word is 'the', not 'de'.

This isn't really AI unless you are going to get into fuzzy logic to decide what the characters are. Anyhow, the steps are:

0. Image capture.
1. Identify the number plate - look at shape recognition algorithms for this.
2. Extracting the registration number. The key word here is Optical Character Recognition [OCR] and there are existing libraries for this; ask Dr Google.

If you can write your own OCR routine - irrespective of if it's for number plates or not - you'll be on line for top marks as it's frogging hard. Good luck.
