Embodiment Construction

[0045] Adopt method of the present invention, at first use Matlab language to write license plate recognition software and license plate character segmentation software; Then at the entrance of expressway, toll station and other any suitable position, adopt the original image of photographing device to automatically take pictures of vehicle; Then the photographed The original image of the vehicle is input into the license plate recognition software as the source data for processing; the located license plate is then passed through the license plate character segmentation software, and finally 7 segmented license plate characters are output. Using 320 license plate recognition software processing, including rainy, foggy, sunny and other weather and vehicle grayscale images under different conditions such as license plate level, license plate tilt, vehicle motion, vehicle static, etc., are used as source data to accurately segment 313 license plate characters, the character segme...

Abstract

A license plate character partitioning method based on a quick region labeling algorithm and a license plate master space location method belongs to the image processing technical field and relates to a license plate automatic recognition technique. Firstly the license plate region is converted through grey level histogram and grey level stretching conversion to realize reinforcement of the character region on the license plate; secondly a two-valued threshold value is calculated and the license plate grey level image is converted into a two-valued image; thirdly a connectivity analysis of the license plate two-valued image is carried out according to the quick region labeling algorithm and an alternate region of characters is obtain through a region growing method; fourthly a master space location is fixed from the license plate two-valued image; fifthly the final character region is obtained through mending and making up for the character region based on the feature of the license plate master space location; finally the characters are partitioned from the license plate grey level image. The license plate character partitioning method based on the quick region labeling algorithm and the license plate master space location method provided by the invention can effectively improve performances such as systematic versatility and location accuracy.
