A Robust License-Plate Extraction Method under Complex Image Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A robust approach for extracting car license plate from images with complex background and relatively poor quality is presented in this paper. The approach focuses on dealing with images taken under weak lighting condition. The proposed method is divided into two steps: 1) searching candidate areas from the input image using gradient information, and 2) determining the plate area among the candidates and adjusting the boundary of the area by introducing a plate template. A set of experiments has been performed to prove the robustness and accuracy of the approach. For many images collected from a large underground parking place the result shows that 90% of them are correctly segmented.

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...

The license plate recognition system is part of the intelligent transportation system. In the intelligent transportation system, the vehicle image is used as the system input. The first step is to improve the image, after the edge detection, a series of morphological operations are performed to identify the plaque. The main purpose of this research was to increase the importance of plate re...

In this paper, we present a new design flow for robust license plate localization and recognition. The algorithm consists of three stages: 1) license plate localization; 2) character segmentation; and 3) feature extraction and character recognition. The algorithm uses Mexican hat operator for edge detection and Euler number of a binary image for identifying the license plate region. A pre-proce...

The purpose of this paper is to design a system that can recognize vehicle license plate under poor environmental conditions by using neural network. Adverse environmental condition may refer to the image has been blurred by poor lighting, rain, poor image resolution and haze which make the image not clear. Recognition of a vehicle license plate is usually important for many security and contro...
