Abstract

The invention discloses a rolling matching-based method for automatically identifying readings of water, electricity and gas meters. The method comprises the steps that a camera acquires real-time charging data pictures of the water, electricity and gas meters regularly and transmits the real-time charging data pictures to a singlechip system through a data line; the singlechip system carries out image binaryzation, charging digital block location, noise filtration, character segmentation and half-character judgment on the acquired charging data pictures to obtain segmented full-character and half-character pictures; a character spacing between upper and lower half-characters of an image to be identified; a template belt is connected according to the character spacing of the image to be identified; rolling and left-right moving of the template belt are combined for carrying out character matching; a character matching rate at a corresponding position is calculated; a maximum value is selected through matching the matching rates; and a template character corresponding to the maximum value is determined, an identification digital result is sequentially output from left to right according to the corresponding dial reading pictures and thus charging readings of the water, electricity and gas meters are obtained. The invention provides a method which is accurate in counting, is time and labor-saving, and is capable of obtaining the data of the water, electricity and gas meters duly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to data identification, in particular to a method for automatic identification of water and electricity meter readings based on rolling matching, and belongs to the field of automatic instruments and meters and digital image processing. Background technique [0002] At present, the meter reading of civilian water and electricity meters, except for electric meters, is basically manual meter reading, especially for old-fashioned water meters. Manual meter reading requires staff to enter every household, check the water, gas and electricity meters, record the data, enter the computer, calculate the fee, and then notify the user to pay the fee; this method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and labor-intensive. Obtain water, gas and electricity meter data. [0003] Through digital recognition technology, water and electricity meter data can be automatically obtained on time and accurately, and many problems of manual meter reading c...
