چکیده

Character segmentation is an important step in License Plate Recognition (LPR) system. There are many difficulties in this step, such as the influence of image noise, plate frame, rivet, the space mark, and so on. This paper presents a new algorithm for character segmentation, using Hough transformation and the prior knowledge in horizontal and vertical segmentation respectively. Furthermore, a new object enhancement technique is used for image preprocessing. The experiment results show a good performance of this new segmentation algorithm.

Iranian Vehicle License Plate Detection based on Cascade Classifier

A license plate recognition system contains three main steps: plate detection, character segmentation and character recognition. The first and foremost step of this system is the plate detection stage where the plate is located from the input image. In this paper an effective plate detection approach is developed based on a cascade classifier. A two-phase training approach is proposed to enhanc...

This paper proposes to use the method of edge detection, morphology, and dynamic image thickening for license plate extraction from images. In the proposed algorithm, a different thickening is used for rear and front parts of the image; besides, to increase the segmentation rate, determination of the license plate frame using standard deviation in the vertical histogram diagram is suggested. Fu...
