The invention provides a
label identification method and device. The method includes the following steps that: an actual
label image is obtained; binarization
processing is performed on the actual
label image; contour region images contained in the binarized actual label image are identified; contour region images, the number of the contour vertexes of which, satisfies the requirement of a preset
vertex number, are filtered out from the contour region images, and therefore, contour region images, the number of the contour vertexes of which, satisfies the requirement of the preset
vertex number, are obtain to form a valid image
data set; shape correction
processing is performed on the contour region images in the valid image
data set according to the coordinates of the vertexes of the preset contour of a standard label image; and
data information corresponding to the actual label image which has been subjected to the shape correction
processing is identified. Since the shape of the actual label image is corrected, shape
distortion influence on the label image, caused by different shooting angles, can be eliminated, and the identified
data information is more accurate and reliable.
