The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic detection and relates to an on-line character detection method based on
machine vision. The detection method comprises a plurality of
software modules including an image pre-treatment
software module, a target extraction
software module, a type matrix extraction software module, a character sequence mode generation software module, a character detection software module and so on. The above modules are combined together to form two independent flows including a production establishment operation flow and a character real-time detection flow. The invention synchronously provides an on-line detection
system for realizing the detection method. The detection
system and method provided in the invention have strong robustness, are capable of effectively reducing the influence of image variations, such as brightness, contrast, quality, character
stroke, rotation, scale and the like, caused by environment or other factors, and are capable of realizing fast and correct character region location and high-efficiency and real-time charter on-line detection.
