Embodiment Construction
[0052] Compared with the recognition of the traditional straight license plate, the biggest difficulty in recognizing the characters on the curved license plate is how to correctly segment the characters and ensure that each character is complete. Because the license plate is curved, when positioning the upper and lower boundaries of the license plate, only some characters can be aligned, and other characters cannot be aligned. Using a set of templates can easily cause incorrect character cutting. Therefore the present invention has carried out corresponding improvement aiming at the segmentation of the character of curved license plate.
[0053] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, ...

The invention discloses a license plate identification method and apparatus. The method comprises the steps of locating a license plate-containing region in a to-be-identified image to generate a license plate character region; performing column projection on the license plate character region, and determining a column projection identification character block in the license plate character region; determining a template identification character block in the license plate character region according to a pre-established license plate character template; dynamically adjusting the position of the license plate character template according to the template identification character block and the column projection identification character block, and determining a character block subjected to template matching as a segmented character block; and identifying characters in the segmented character block to generate a license plate identification result. According to the method and the apparatus, the matching is performed by dynamically adjusting the template in combination with a column projection method and a template nesting method, so that the problem of incorrect character segmentation is solved, the character identification problem of a bent license plate is effectively solved, and the problem of high possibility of incorrect character identification due to adoption of an existing license plate identification technology for performing character segmentation on the bent license plate is avoided.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a license plate recognition method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, license plate recognition equipment has been widely used in parking lots, urban roads, expressways and other areas for automatic capture and recognition of vehicle license plates. In the past two years, the fronts of some new car models are protruding and have a certain angle. Especially high-end cars such as Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac. In the image captured by the camera, these license plates are curved. At a position farther from the camera, the license plate is relatively close to a traditional horizontal license plate. Once the vehicle is driven close to the camera, the license plate will appear to be more curved. In the application of the present invention, this type of license plate is called "curved license plate". Traditional license plates are flat without any angles, w...
