Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to Digital Image Processing and mode identification technology, be specifically related to the method for traffic scene car plate identification in the intelligent traffic administration system.
Technical background
Intelligent transportation system (Intelligent Transportation System, be called for short ITS) is the system ensemble with various traffic route monitor management system, vehicle control system and the highway traffic safety system of the integrated actual demand that applies to ground transport of electronic technology, computer technology, infotech, sensor technology and system engineering technology.Car plate identification (Vehicle License Plate Recognition is called for short VLPR) is one of important component part of intelligent transportation system, and its application is very extensive.Car plate identification is the basis with technology such as Digital Image Processing, pattern-recognition, computer visions, and the vehicle image or the video sequence of shot by camera are analyzed, and obtains the unique number-plate number of each automobile, thereby accomplishes identifying.Through some follow-up processing means; License plate recognition technology can be realized functions such as parking lot fee collection management, the measurement of magnitude of traffic flow controlling index, vehicle location, automobile burglar, highway hypervelocity robotization supervision; To safeguarding traffic safety and urban public security; Prevent traffic jam, realize that the automatic management of traffic has realistic meanings.
License plate recognition technology mainly comprises three steps: the location of license plate image, characters on license plate cut apart the identification with characters on license plate." car plate location " is to utilize image processing method and mode identification technology to have the position of accurately orienting car plate the vehicle number word image of uncertain background from a width of cloth, and cutting apart and discern to handle for follow-up characters on license plate provides data source accurately and reliably." Character segmentation " is that license plate area is divided into single character zone, is used for next step character recognition.The character of car plate is made up of limited Chinese character, English alphabet and numeral, " identification of characters on license plate " thus then be the character to be identified that splits to be classified discern them.
Wherein, " Character segmentation " is the ring that license plate recognition technology is taken over from the past and set a new course for the future, and the correctness of Character segmentation directly has influence on the result of Recognition of License Plate Characters.But " Character segmentation " but is the bigger part of difficulty, and its difficulty is mainly reflected on the following problem:
(1) because weather condition; The license plate image clean-up performance differs, and in the car plate bianry image that obtains after the car plate pre-service, possibly have the character adhesion; Also possibly there is the character stroke fracture; Therefore, in the Character segmentation method, should avoid a plurality of Character segmentation is a character, and a Character segmentation is become the maloperation of a plurality of characters.
(2) because the width of character " 1 " is narrow than the width of other character, how to distinguish character " 1 ' ' with the interference stroke, the vertical frame that particularly remains about car plate should take into full account in method.
(3) through pretreated car plate binary map; Can not accurately navigate to the up-and-down boundary of character, also receive the interference of frame and rivet, also can there be interference in the right and left of car plate in addition; The frame of the right and left particularly, and possibly stick together with first or last character.Therefore the dividing method that is designed can not receive the influence of these interference regions.
The influence of illumination during (4) owing to shooting; The all or part of zone of car plate seems bright especially; Cause character and background color discrimination little, dividing method should consider that a kind of suitable gray processing and binarization method distinguish background area and character zone accurately.
Several kinds of Character segmentation methods commonly used at present have:
(1) based on the Character segmentation method of sciagraphy.Utilize vertical projection method to find the best cutting point between the character fast, and transverse projection capable of using remove interference such as car plate frame.
(2) based on the separating character method of characters on license plate geometric properties.This method is carried out a series of morphological operations with the license plate image of mathematical morphology after to binaryzation earlier, gets rid of some garbages, makes that the space becomes greatly between character and car plate left and right side frame, character and the character, is convenient to mark intercharacter vertical divider.
(3) based on the maximum between-cluster variance registration number character dividing method of template matches.According to the structure and the size characteristic of character string, designed characters on license plate string template, this template is slided to mate at license plate area and is classified, and combines maximum between-cluster variance decision rule to confirm best match position, cuts apart characters on license plate.
(4) based on the Character segmentation method of scanning, this method utilization is confirmed the up-and-down boundary of character by the centre to the method for two ends search, and utilizes the dependency rule of one dimension circulation zero clearing method and characters on license plate to carry out vertical segmentation to obtain single character.
(5) cut apart the method for characters on license plate based on connected component analysis.Promptly constitute the principle of a connected region, combine the dependency rule of characters on license plate again, thereby better solved the character cutting problem of license plate under complex background condition according to the pixel that belongs to same character.
(6) based on the registration number character dividing method of neural network and color characteristic.In color space, utilize tree type judgement structure, at first identify white, black picture element in the license plate area, utilize network that the indigo plant in the license plate area, red, yellow and other colors are discerned then by monochrome information.According to the color characteristic of car plate, after judging the type of car plate, license plate area is carried out binary conversion treatment.After removing car plate frame and rivet, the connectedness of comprehensive utilization sciagraphy and character is cut apart characters on license plate.
More than these registration number character dividing methods; It is the method that improves gradually in the registration number character dividing method evolution; But all do not have well to solve stained or receive to have in the Character segmentation, particularly car plate of illumination effect car plate the situation that two or three character zones are fuzzy or obscure, these methods often can accurately not cut apart; In the actual traffic scene, the accuracy rate of Character segmentation will reduce significantly.
Because the complicacy of field of traffic application scenarios, license plate recognition technology problem to be solved are quite complicated.The present license plate recognition technology part that in practical application, also comes with some shortcomings, for example: extraneous brightness is low excessively, illumination condition abominable, special weather condition, complicated non-license plate area interference etc. cause certain degree of difficulty all can for the location of car plate; The meeting that influences of the cleanliness of car plate self or illumination condition causes difficulty to character cutting; The identification of similar character is distinguished and is also had certain difficulty.

Embodiment
The present invention is based on the embodiment of the registration number character dividing method of connected region and gap model below in conjunction with explained, but be noted that enforcement of the present invention is not limited to following embodiment.
A kind of registration number character dividing method based on connected region and gap model; At first license plate image is carried out gray processing and binaryzation; Remove the impurity noise after the mark connected region; Then after the transverse cuts again the repeating label connected region with remove two steps of impurity noise, calculate through the gap at last and recover the residue character and obtain seven character zones.
The concrete operation step of the inventive method is shown in accompanying drawing 1.
One, gray processing and binary conversion treatment
At first, this is blue car plate, carries out the red component binaryzation; Carry out NiBlack dynamic threshold binaryzation then.
Confirm the threshold value of this point through the statistical property (average and variance) of each its neighborhood of pixel in the computed image, the method schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 2, shown in the following formula of computing method:
Formula (1) is threshold value
computing formula of coordinate points in the image
; K is a weight coefficient,
,
be respectively to be the variance and the average of all pixels in the foursquare neighborhood in center with coordinate points
.After obtaining the threshold value of this point, just the pixel value of itself and this coordinate points being done comparison, is background color less than threshold value T, is character color greater than threshold value T.Shown in the following formula:
The pixel value of
coordinate points in
the expression bianry image
in the formula (2);
is the pixel value of coordinate points in the gray level image
, the threshold value that
calculates for above-mentioned steps.
Can find out that because the pollution of car plate is more, the license plate image extrinsic region after the binaryzation is a lot, noise effect is very big.
Two, mark connected region
According to the result of binaryzation in a last step, black is character color, and white is background color.According to the thought mark connected region of recurrence, process flow diagram is as shown in Figure 3:
Step 1. is provided with mark to each pixel, initially all is made as 0;
Each pixel of step 2. traversal is if pixel value is black and is labeled as 0 that counter adds 1, if having traveled through all pixels then finishes, otherwise carry out step 3;
This point of step 3. mark is the value of current counter, and upgrades the minimum of this connected region and the value of maximum horizontal ordinate;
The eigenwerts such as height, width and depth-width ratio that step 5. is calculated this connected region according to the minimum and the maximum horizontal ordinate of record, and judge according to these eigenwerts whether this connected region is character zone, if then keep this zone; If not, be background colour then with this zone marker, counter subtracts 1.Return and continue execution in step 2.
After connected region is confirmed through mark, the minimum and the maximum horizontal ordinate of record connected region.
Three, press geometric properties and remove the impurity noise region
Owing to the reasons such as spot on illumination, car plate frame and the car plate; License plate image impurity noise after the binaryzation is more, judges through the minimum of connected region and the geometric properties of maximum horizontal ordinate calculating impurity noise whether the connected region that the back mark comes out is character zone.If satisfy condition, then keep; Otherwise, then be made as background colour.It is as shown in Figure 4 to remove the impurity program circuit; Calculate the height of connected region respectively, the ratio of width to height of the width of connected region, the angle of connected region, connected region judges whether these geometric properties meet the condition of character zone; Keep qualified connected region,, then delete this connected region if do not satisfy condition; The connected region that calculate to keep is again calculated the mean breadth and the average height of connected region, and whether the geometric properties of judging connected region is again compared with mean value to have more greatly and departed from, if then delete this connected region.After this step operation, only can see that the zone of " E " and " 4 " remains.
Four, cutting up and down
Minimum and maximum horizontal ordinate through the connected region that remains; The height and the positional information in calculating character zone; The last centre coordinate point of the character zone that remains is existed in the set; This coordinate point set is carried out linear fit through least square method, obtain the straight line that a match is come out; With identical method, the following central point of the character zone that remains is carried out linear fit; Article two, straight line cuts character up and down, and " B " and " 2 " and up and down rivet or impurity are separated; Again carry out the mark connected region then and remove these two steps of impurity, feasible " B " and " 2 " these two character zones also meet the geometric properties of character and remain.
Five, calculate in the gap
Through the calculating in several steps of front, because the influence of spot and the impurity interference of noise such as fracture of Chinese character, not every character zone can both keep.In order to recover to remain character conveniently, wouldn't utilize the Chinese character zone, if can recover to remain 6 letter and numbers smoothly, the position of Chinese character can be confirmed through these letter and numbers.
The type list of characters on license plate reserve area is as shown in Figure 5; The character zone that solid black squares or circular expression keep; And the character zone that hollow square or circular expression are deleted by mistake, recovering hollow character zone is the precondition of correct separating character.
As shown in Figure 6; Since the standard car plate all follow unified standard: " 7 character strings forming by a province Chinese character heel character or arabic numeral; the array format of standard car plate is:
; wherein
is the abbreviation of each province, municipality directly under the Central Government;
is capitalization English letter; be blank character, and 5 characters of back are English character or arabic numeral.The shared width of each character is certain in the original size of car plate, is 45mm, and between the character and the gap between character and the blank character is 12mm, the wide 10mm of blank character, character height is 90mm ".So the ratio that the wide existence of standard clearance and standard word is fixing, the gap of wherein back five characters and preceding two characters and the wide ratio of standard word are about 0.267, are referred to as little gap; Leave out owing to blank character can be considered to impurity in said method,, be referred to as big gap so second and the 3rd intercharacter gap and the wide ratio of standard word are about 0.756.
Gap-type table as shown in Figure 7; Can be through calculating the gap between adjacent connected region; Calculate and have what characters and several big or small gap between these two connected regions; Normal width according to known region recovers to be made these connected region inside not have the character zone of disappearance by the character zone of deleting by mistake with the big closely spaced width that calculates again.Two closely spaced width of a character are satisfied in zone between " E " and " 4 ", so the character " 1 " in the middle of recovering.
After the expansion of the gap shown in the gap-type table; The character zone " B E142 " that keeps is continuous; The character zone disappearance on only remaining both sides is waited to recover, thus the type of reserve area will reduce a lot, as shown in Figure 8; When wherein remaining three continuous character zones, can whether be that unique remaining character zone in the left and right sides of confirming how to expand is come in big gap through judging first gap; Because " B " and " E " meets the width in a big gap, thus about respectively expand a character.In addition when 4 and 3 and even 2 the continuous connected regions that do not contain big gap exist, can judge that continuous connected region right side can expand several character zones to the width on border, expansion about carrying out with this.
Utilize these continuous reserved character zones then, the normal width of calculating character and calibrated altitude are confirmed the character frame, finally confine seven character zones of car plate, and completion is cut apart; The design sketch of a car plate of said method processing is as shown in Figure 9.
