License plate positioning method and related device thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a license plate positioning method and a related device thereof. The license plate positioning method comprises the steps of preprocessing a to-be-positioned image to determineboundary pixel points in the to-be-positioned image; dividing the to-be-positioned image into a plurality of subareas, and dividing each subarea into a plurality of subareas; determining whether eachsubarea is a foreground subarea based on the proportion of the boundary pixel points in each subarea; determining whether each subarea is a foreground subarea based on the proportion of the foregroundsubarea in each subarea; and determining a license plate to-be-detected area of the to-be-positioned image based on the information of the foreground subarea, and performing license plate positioningon the license plate to-be-detected area. According to the license plate positioning method, vehicle detection does not need to be performed on the to-be-positioned image so that the complexity of the method can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image detection, in particular to a license plate location method and related devices. Background technique [0002] The current mainstream license plate location technology mainly uses the license plate location network to predict the position of the license plate. However, due to the limitation of the input size, this kind of method needs to obtain the position of the vehicle in the image first, and locate the license plate on the basis of the obtained vehicle position, which undoubtedly increases the cost of license plate positioning. In some special scenarios, the uncertainty of vehicle location acquisition has caused a great loss to the accuracy of license plate location. Contents of the invention [0003] The present application provides a license plate location method and related devices, which do not need to perform vehicle detection on the image to be positioned, thereby reducing the...
