A kind of dial digital identification method of using above-mentioned dial digital identification device shown in the algorithm flow chart of the algorithm frame figure of accompanying drawing 7 and accompanying drawing 8, may further comprise the steps:
1, location character is regional automatically:
Because the character distributing position of different dial plate images is inconsistent; Automatically orient the character zone position of dial plate through certain algorithm according to different dial plate types; This positional information is used for character modeling and character recognition, can reduces because environmental baseline such as light change the influence that causes that character position disturbs.And; Because the color of kinds of characters is different with the distribution of light position; Through the exact position that certain algorithm is oriented each character automatically, can carry out more accurate threshold process respectively to each character zone, reduced because the influence that factors such as character light variation cause.Because cmos imaging module focal length is unadjustable, handles respectively for big character and small characters.
The invention provides a kind ofly, confirm the method for character zone position and character exact position by following mode according to continuous multiple frames dial plate image and preset reasonable regional extent.
The character coarse positioning 1.1 the frame difference adds up: continuous multiple frames dial plate image is done the frame difference add up, remove because the zonule that influences such as noise produce; According to the position relation of camera and dial plate, confirm the zone boundary by regional symmetry; Then regional extent is carried out rationality and judges, and if do not meet preset range would forward to 1.1 once more reading image carry out zone location; If meet preset range then classify to confirm the exact position of character, if big character jumps to 1..2, if small characters jumps to 1.3 according to character types.
If 1.2 be big character, like gas meter, flow meter:
1.2.1 region adaptivity binaryzation: read the dial plate image, at first isolate blackaandawhite characterumay zone and red wrongly written or mispronounced character symbol zone to gas meter, flow meter dial plate feature RGB color difference; Respectively two kinds of character zones are carried out adaptive image binaryzation and handle, and remove in the binary image because the zonule that influences such as noise produce;
1.2.2 character normalization;
1.2.3 skeleton process: normalized image is carried out skeleton process: promptly each character is carried out skeletal extraction, framework characteristic extracts, and the characteristic matching rate is calculated, identification character.
1.2.4 character is accurately located: if the skeleton discrimination of alphabet all reaches 100% in the character zone, be judged as the character position of correctly cutting apart, and relevant character exact position and the character number of record.If do not meet then jump to 1.2.1 and carry out aforesaid operations till the character exact position is confirmed.
If 1.3 be small characters, like water meter: read the dial plate image, at first extract the gray-scale value of character zone, with the edge of Canny operator extraction character zone; The exact position that is partitioned into character according to the character independence and the distributing homogeneity at edge, and judge the rationality of this split position.If do not meet then jump to 1.3 and carry out aforesaid operations till the character exact position is confirmed.
2, set up Character mother plate:
The accuracy of character modeling has determined the accuracy rate of Character mother plate coupling identification, and traditional template matching method has been ignored the different of font architecture type and character distributing position, has reduced the Character mother plate matching rate.Because the charcter topology type of different dial plates is different; And the distributing position Different Effects of template and current character the accuracy rate of template matches; Through certain algorithm current dial plate is carried out real-time character modeling; And the character distributed intelligence of logging template, can improve the accuracy rate of template matches recognition methods.
The invention provides a kind ofly, confirm the circulate method of the Character mother plate of setting up 0-9 of character skeleton coupling recognition result by following mode according to the character zone positional information.
2.1 character self-adapting binaryzation: each character zone is carried out adaptive image binaryzation handle, and remove in the binary image because the zonule that influences such as noise produce;
2.2 character normalization;
2.3 normalized image is carried out skeleton process: promptly each character is carried out skeletal extraction, framework characteristic extracts, and the characteristic matching rate is calculated, identification character.
2.4 set up Character mother plate: determine whether the character identification result that belongs to correct according to the size of characteristic matching rate, if then the pixel of this character zone is write the corresponding characters template.Do not finish if Character mother plate is set up, jump to step 2.1, finish up to Character mother plate foundation.
3, identification dial digital:
Because the matching accuracy rate of the template matching method of character is lower; And the feature matching method computation complexity disturbs susceptibility than higher than higher and algorithm to external world; Advantage in conjunction with two kinds of methods; At first carry out character match through template matching method, the character that does not reach certain matching rate carries out the framework characteristic coupling again, has improved the accuracy of identification to a certain extent and has reduced computation complexity.
The invention provides the Character mother plate that a kind of character zone positional information that obtains according to step 1 and step 2 obtain, confirm the method for the character identification result of dial plate image by following mode.
3.1 character self-adapting binaryzation: each character zone is carried out adaptive image binaryzation handle, and remove in the binary image because the zonule that influences such as noise produce;
3.2 character normalization;
3.3 whether be half-word character: binary image is carried out zone marker if judging character; Add up each regional boundary information; Judge interregional in the otherness on border, the left and right sides and the otherness of up-and-down boundary; If the otherness on border, the left and right sides judges that less than certain threshold value and from up-and-down boundary two zones occupy the certain proportion of region height, judge that then this position belongs to half-word character state.Otherwise, judge that then this position belongs to the complete character state;
3.4 template matches: if character zone does not have the half-word character, then carry out character match, statistical pixel correct match rate with the original match template.For complete character, if the template matches degree greater than certain threshold value, and other character match rates then export recognition result well below this matching degree, otherwise template matches can not be discerned this character.
3.5 skeleton coupling: for the unsuccessful character of template matches in the complete character zone, carry out the framework characteristic coupling according to 2.3 steps, if the skeleton matching degree surpasses certain threshold value then writes the target area, otherwise this complete character is a unrecognizable character.
3.6 half-word Character mother plate coupling: if character zone has the half-word character; Rebuild matching template; Carry out character match with the reconstruction template; Confirm the reference position of character zone respectively, mate that statistical pixel correct match rate is confirmed the recognition result of half-word character with adjacent two characters in the template.
