[Abstract]:Automatic license plate recognition is an important module in intelligent transportation system, which generally includes the processing steps of license plate region extraction, license plate character segmentation, license plate character recognition and so on. The accuracy of character segmentation and recognition is low due to the influence of uneven illumination, shadow of characters, background texture and so on. Therefore, this paper puts forward the research topic of license plate character segmentation and its preprocessing technology, which has important application value to improve the accuracy and robustness of license plate automatic recognition system. The main work and contributions of this paper are as follows: based on the high density of vertical edge of license plate area and the similarity of adjacent gray pairs of edge points, a license plate level correction algorithm against background interference is proposed. First, through vertical edge density filtering, the nearest vertical edge is connected horizontally, and the license plate area block is obtained. According to the character height consistency and the gradual change of position, the effective character column is extracted. The least-square method is used to estimate the inclination angle of license plate area by fitting straight lines based on the midpoints of all character columns. Based on the fixed color pattern at the bottom of the license plate and the uniform width of the character stroke, an algorithm for judging the color pattern of the license plate is proposed, which can resist the interference of illumination and background texture. By analyzing the possible colors in the license plate area and using the characteristics of character width consistency, the color quantization histogram and morphological processing are used to judge the license plate with high color saturation and low saturation respectively. Based on the characteristics of fixed area and uniform color in the license plate area, an adaptive binarization method of license plate is proposed. First of all, the global threshold of Otsu is calculated. Based on the smooth change of illumination, the threshold of pixels with gray level approaching global threshold is obtained by weighting with local threshold of Bernsen to overcome the influence of uneven illumination. Then the proportion of foreground is used to determine whether it is necessary to choose k-means clustering method based on RGB color space to distinguish character shadow or non-license plate region, license plate background and character region. Based on the characteristics of uniform background color and fixed character arrangement, a method of horizontal license plate character segmentation against background interference is proposed. Firstly, the vertical projection of the binary image of the license plate is analyzed, and the left and right boundary is estimated by the consistency of the bottom color of the license plate, and the interval between the second and the third characters is found to provide the reference position for template matching. The variable length template is designed to slide on the vertical projection histogram and the maximum inter-class variance criterion is used to find the best matching parameter combined with the trough constraint. Finally the segmentation position is accurately adjusted according to the consistency of projection and character width. Finally, the simulation experiment of this algorithm is designed. For the existing data sets of 700 license plate images (including images with no interference, illumination, background area interference), the segmentation accuracy reaches 97.28, which shows that the proposed algorithm has good adaptability.
