Abstract

The invention provides a lightweight license plate recognition method and system based on a full convolutional network, and the method comprises the steps: collecting and marking license plate samplepictures, and dividing the pictures into a training set and a test set according to a preset proportion; building a lightweight license plate recognition network model based on full convolution; determining a multi-task learning framework and a set loss function; training a full convolution-based lightweight license plate recognition network model by using the license plate sample pictures of thetraining set until the error of the loss function is smaller than a preset value; selecting full-convolution-based lightweight license plate recognition network model parameters stored in different stages in the training process, testing the comprehensive performance of a full-convolution-based lightweight license plate recognition network under different parameters by using license plate sample pictures in a test set, and fixing the parameter with the highest accuracy as a final parameter of the model. According to the method, the sequence information is modeled by adopting the full convolutional network, so that the model is easy to realize in parallel, fewer computing resources are required in the reasoning stage, and the time delay is lower.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to digital image processing technology and optical character recognition (OCR) technology in the field of computer vision, in particular, to a light-weight license plate recognition method and system based on a fully convolutional network. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of economy and society, the number of motor vehicles is also increasing. Realizing automatic identification of vehicle identities can improve vehicle management efficiency and reduce labor costs. Therefore, license plate recognition technology has become a research hotspot in recent years. The current common license plate recognition technology can be divided into recognition technology based on character segmentation and recognition technology based on end-to-end network. [0003] The recognition technology based on character segmentation is to divide the continuous license plate content into multiple single characters, and then...
