License plate location method based on gray level jump and character projection interval mode

Abstract

The invention discloses a license plate location method based on a gray level jump and a character projection interval mode, and relates to the license plate location method. The license plate location method comprises the following steps: (1) conducting gray level processing, (2) judging whether image illumination is normal or not, (3) processing binarization, (4) determining a license plate characteristic line by conducting line scanning on gray level jump characteristics, therefore conducting location on the upper border and the lower border of a license plate, (5) adjusting the character projection interval mode by conducting column scanning, and conducting location on the left border and the right border of the license plate. According to the method, the phenomenon that no matter whether the light condition for capturing a license plate image is good or bad, the information of the license plate can not be lost after the binarization, the success rate of the license plate binarization is greatly improved, after vertical projection is carried out on the license plate, and the character width consistency of the license plate is achieved by means of changing the projection of the character '1' and the projection of the character ' '. Therefore, the fixed and uniform license plate character projection interval mode is utilized for conducting location on the left border and the right border of the license plate, interference on the non-license-plate area can be effectively removed, and the accuracy rate of license plate location is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a license plate positioning method, in particular to a license plate positioning method based on gray scale jump and character projection interval mode. Background technique [0002] Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the economy, the number of motor vehicles has continued to increase, and the requirements for road traffic information and public security management have become more and more stringent. Intelligent transportation technology has emerged as the times require and has penetrated into our lives. The systems we are familiar with such as crossing red light violation monitoring, expressway speeding violation detection, ETC electronic non-stop charging, parking lot intelligent management, community vehicle management and checkpoint systems are all successful applications of intelligent transportation technology. These systems all include license plate recognition modules, and license plate posi...
