The process flow diagram of Fig. 1 Method of Automatic Recognition for Character of Lcecse Plate of the present invention.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, further illustrate the present invention, should understand these embodiment only is used for explanation the present invention and is not used in and limits the scope of the invention, after having read the present invention, those skilled in the art all fall within the application's claims limited range to the modification of the various equivalent form of values of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 1, image or video interception that at first Method of Automatic Recognition for Character of Lcecse Plate of the present invention is taken by video camera, convert digitized image input computing machine (step 101) to, then input picture is carried out pre-service (step 102), then according to different light condition, use diverse ways to orient car plate position (step 103); Next by the slant correction (step 104) of the digital image processing methods such as binaryzation, horizontal tilt correction and vertical skew correction realization to license plate image; Again independent character is split (step 105) from license plate image; Technology by pattern-recognition realizes the automatic identification (step 106) to characters on license plate at last.
China's car plate mainly contains these four kinds of wrongly written or mispronounced characters of the blue end, yellow end surplus, black matrix wrongly written or mispronounced character, the dark red word of white background.The below is described in detail Method of Automatic Recognition for Character of Lcecse Plate of the present invention as an example of wrongly written or mispronounced character car plate of the blue end example.
Car plate location is the difficult point in Vehicle License Recognition System always, the accuracy of a large amount of interference and factor all can the affect car plate location such as the light irradiation is strong and weak, car plate is reflective in license plate image.The present invention proposes the algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle that two kinds of algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle combine: in the reasonable situation of light, adopt color-based point to the algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle of search and mathematical morphology by day; Adopt by day a kind of algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle of novel intensity-based image in light situation at not good or night.Algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle in the present invention needs the support of light sensor, and the intensity of the external environment condition light that receives by light sensor decides uses carry out the car plate location for which kind of algorithm.The present invention is take illuminance 8000lx as separation, when illuminance during greater than 8000lx, adopts color-based point to the algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle of search and mathematical morphology, the colored vehicle image that obtains to be carried out car plate and locates; When illuminance during less than 8000lx, the algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle that adopts the intensity-based image carries out the car plate location to the colored vehicle image that obtains.
Owing to may containing the color close with the car plate color on vehicle body, add the reasons such as oxidation causes that car plate fades, these disturb the precision that all may reduce the car plate location.The algorithm of locating license plate of vehicle based on search color dot pair and mathematical morphology that the present invention proposes utilizes car plate background color and the difference of characters on license plate color on gray scale to find out the car plate region, has good antijamming capability.Concrete steps are as follows:
(1) coloured image that contains vehicle is carried out gray processing and binary conversion treatment, calculate the maximum variance threshold value, obtain corresponding bianry image;
(2) open up a region of memory in calculator memory, be used for the view data of 8 of storages, the image length and width equate with coloured image, and the value initialization of each pixel is 255;
(3) the white pixel point in the scanning bianry image, if find the blue pixel point in left side, coloured image relevant position, think the initial frontier point that this white pixel point is characters on license plate and car plate background color, i.e. the initial pixel of characters on license plate, the position of this point of mark;
(4) continue the white pixel point of scanning bianry image, if the blue pixel point is found on the right side in the coloured image relevant position, think the termination frontier point that this white pixel point is characters on license plate and car plate background color, i.e. the position of this point of the termination pixel of characters on license plate, and mark;
(5) zone is characters on license plate pixel zone if the termination pixel phase difference of the initial pixel of characters on license plate and characters on license plate within 50 pixels, is thought this piece, and in the image of step 3 with these points of black pixel point mark;
(6) complete scan entire image is until all blue white colour points of finding out in image are right;
(7) using two-value to open the operation processing processes color dot.
(8) use the corrosion operation to split two-value and open the later color of operation to processing, carry out continuously ten times, further enlarge the right scope of color dot.
(9) use expansive working to continue color dot to obtain the pixel zone of a slice basic continous to processing, this piece zone is exactly the car plate candidate regions.
Notice that the blueness of using in the present invention is a vague definition, the blueness in actual license plate has mazarine and light blue, also will consider due to reasons such as oxidations, and the background color of car plate can shoal, so can only define a general qualifications for blueness.This condition is rule of thumb set, and can change according to different this conditions of light situation.As long as the pixel in coloured image satisfies this condition, can think that this pixel is the blue pixel point.Concrete, if this pixel satisfies following three conditions: (1) B〉1.5*R; (2) B〉1.5*G; (3) B〉100 just think that this pixel is the blue pixel point.Equally, white is also a fuzzy concept.If a pixel satisfies following four conditions: (1) R<0.4*S; (2) G<0.4*S; (3) B<0.4*S; (4) S〉200 just think that this pixel is the white pixel point.S=R+G+B wherein.
The car plate candidate regions that obtain this moment may be the car plate region, may be also noise or interference region.Can utilize the priori of car plate to remove pseudo-license plate area, thereby obtain real license plate area.Usually the length of license plate area and wide all should be greater than certain pixel value, and the ratio that grows tall of car plate should be between 2: 1 to 4: 1.
In not good or night situation, the color characteristic of car plate is not obvious at light, if still adopt the color-based point may can not find color dot pair in image to searching algorithm, causes locating unsuccessfully.The present invention is in the situation that the car plate of a kind of intensity-based image of the not good employing of light is located new algorithm.At first image is carried out gray processing and binary conversion treatment.Because automotive license plate generally is suspended on bottom of car, so the present invention adopts searching method from the bottom up, not only can improve search speed like this, also can improve the success ratio of search.Employing is every the method for three line scanning delegation, the line number r that mark monochrome pixels point change frequency is maximum m, and write down change frequency m.The car plate height about 50 pixels, in the horizontal scanning process of license plate area, the many row of monochrome pixels point change frequency will occur every 3 row in general, and 17 left and right appear in such guild continuously, write down these line numbers r i(i=1,2 ...), with r iBe the basis, statistics up and down 3 row, judge its monochrome pixels point change frequency whether with r iSimilar, rule of thumb the scope of the change frequency of the monochrome pixels point of license plate area is from 0.75m to 1.25m as can be known, so the number of times that in car plate, black and white changes is within a range of stability, but not the monochrome pixels change frequency of license plate area is unsettled.The up-and-down boundary of orienting car plate by top algorithm is the height of characters on license plate substantially, but will be with location up-and-down boundary expanded range out in actual treatment, do like this is in order to leave certain processing space to follow-up license plate area slant correction, to avoid the car plate useful part is excised.
The difference that has fixedly caused shooting angle due to the position of camera, more or less there is the situation of inclination in the license plate image that obtains after the location.Tilting to affect follow-up License Plate Character Segmentation, causes segmentation errors, thus to carry out slant correction to license plate image before Character segmentation, for the character of back can accurately be cut apart ready.License plate slopedly be divided into three kinds of patterns: horizontal direction tilts, vertical direction tilts, level stack vertical direction tilts, therefore license plate sloped correction can be carried out from horizontal and vertical directions, usually first carrying out horizontal tilt proofreaies and correct, determine the up-and-down boundary of characters on license plate, carry out at last vertical skew correction.The car plate horizontal tilt correcting algorithm that is based on vertical edge spot projection variance minimum that the present invention uses and based on the car plate vertical skew correction algorithm of horizontal edge point variance minimum.
Carry out needing the gray scale license plate image is carried out binary conversion treatment before license plate sloped correction.The present invention adopts improved local binarization method, and it is in the situation that uneven illumination and car plate have stained can well characters on license plate and car plate background being separated.Suppose that (x, y) is the pixel of wanting binaryzation, its close region is the window of a w * w, and gray-scale value is f (x, y), calculates the threshold value of each pixel:
T ( x , y ) = &alpha; ( max - w < l < w - w < k < w f ( x + k , y + l ) + min - w < l < w - w < k < w f ( x + k , y + l ) )
The α here is an empirical value, and span is between 0.40 and 0.65.
By statistics obtain the character pixels point in the shared ratio of whole license plate image in 30% left and right, if consider noise factor, this reaches 35% left and right than regular meeting.Therefore a global threshold K can be set.Suppose h (x, y) be license plate image at the statistical value of a certain gray-scale value, the definition K be:
k = { g | max 0 &le; g &le; 255 [ &Sigma; i = g 255 h ( x , y ) &Sigma; i = 0 255 h ( x , y ) ] &GreaterEqual; 35 % }
If we only carry out binaryzation with global threshold K to car plate, be difficult to the negative effect that elimination uneven illumination or background acute variation are brought binaryzation.Therefore must carry out binary conversion treatment to license plate image in conjunction with threshold k and binaryzation method and just can reach desirable effect, concrete steps are as follows:
(1) calculate global threshold K.
(2) obtain the local threshold of all pixels by Bernsen binaryzation method.
(3) get between global threshold K and local threshold value the greater as the threshold value of pixel.
Therefore some discrete noises may appear in image in the binaryzation process, remove the noise process that is absolutely necessary.Filter method commonly used such as mean filter and medium filtering are not suitable for the processing character image, because may the filtering character pixels in the process of filtering.The present invention uses following algorithm:
(1) by the line scanning image, when finding a white pixel point, seek the quantity of white pixel point in its neighborhood of 3 * 3, consider 8 pixels adjacent with white pixel.
(2) set a threshold value, if around it, white pixel point number is greater than this threshold value, think that this point is not the discrete noise point, remove otherwise it is used as noise spot.In the present invention, the threshold value value is 5.
(3) scanning entire image is removed all discrete pixels.
Before carrying out the horizontal tilt correction, needs first carry out rim detection to the license plate image of binaryzation.Rim detection utilizes the zero crossing information of image first order derivative or second derivative that the basic foundation of judgement marginal point is provided.What the present invention used is the Sobel operator.
By obtaining all marginal points in image after rim detection, the central point that makes these marginal points is M (m x, m y), can be by asking for following formula:
m x = 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N x i , m y = 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N y i
X in formula iWith y iHorizontal ordinate and ordinate for the car plate marginal point.
Car plate edge image place coordinate origin is moved on to the M point, at this moment car plate marginal point ordinate average
Figure BDA00002774085200083
After coordinate carried out conversion, variation had occured in the coordinate of car plate marginal point, wherein:
u i=x i-m x,v i=y i-m y
Suppose that B (u, v) is a bit in the two-dimensional direct angle coordinate system, this point is β with the angle of x axle, and its ordinate is v.The B point around clockwise direction rotation alpha angle, center to putting B'(u', v '), the some B' ordinate be v ', can obtain following derivation:
v &prime; r sin ( &beta; - &alpha; ) = v sin ( &beta; - &alpha; ) sin &beta; = v cos &alpha; - u sin &alpha;
Pass through the later variance of coordinate transform and marginal point rotation as follows:
&sigma; 2 = 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N ( v i cos &alpha; - u i sin &alpha; ) 2
According to top derivation as can be known the rotation angle when marginal point ordinate variance obtains minimum value be the horizontal tilt angle, be exactly to σ here 2Differentiate, the α angle when derivative is zero is exactly the horizontal tilt angle.
d&sigma; 2 d&alpha; = 2 N &Sigma; i = 1 N ( v i cos &alpha; - u i sin &alpha; ) ( - v i sin &alpha; - u i cos &alpha; ) = 0
Following formula can be got following formula through conversion:
tan 2 &alpha; = 2 &Sigma; i = 1 N u i v i &Sigma; i = 1 N ( u i 2 - v i 2 )
So car plate inclination angle in the horizontal direction is:
&alpha; = 1 2 arctan [ 2 &Sigma; i = 1 N u i v i &Sigma; i = 1 N ( u i 2 - v i 2 )
Car plate is proofreaied and correct along the horizontal direction horizontal tilt that α completes car plate that turns clockwise.
In proofreading and correct later license plate image through horizontal tilt, car plate upper and lower side frame and left and right side frame, bumper etc. produce the characters on license plate vertical skew correction and disturb, and affect the accuracy of vertical skew correction.Therefore must accurately determine the up-and-down boundary of character, the up-and-down boundary of character both for vertical skew correction has reduced interference, has reduced interference for Character segmentation again after determining.
Use the Sobel vertical operator to ask for the vertical edge of bianry image, then vertical edge is carried out projection on horizontal direction, adding up the white pixel of every row counts out, if greater than the threshold value of setting, just think that characters on license plate is regional, if find first white pixel point quantity statistical value less than the row of threshold value, think that this row may be coboundary or the lower boundary of character zone.In actual application, often the up-and-down boundary of character is enlarged 2~3 pixels, doing like this is to proofread and correct for fear of horizontal tilt not exclusively to bring the character pixels loss.
Therefore the vertical bank angle of single character and the vertical bank angle of whole car plate are consistent, thereby can obtain by the vertical bank angle that calculates single characters on license plate whole car plate angle of inclination in vertical direction.For single character, when character did not tilt in the vertical direction, after binaryzation, character pixels put that projective distribution is the most intensive in vertical direction, and scope is minimum, homolographic projection point horizontal ordinate variance minimum; When character existed, character pixels put that drop shadow spread is wider in vertical direction, and homolographic projection point horizontal ordinate variance is larger.It is more severe that character tilts in the vertical direction, and the horizontal ordinate variance of subpoint is larger.So can carry out doing vertical projection after shear transformation to single character, when the horizontal ordinate variance obtains minimum value, corresponding shearing inclination be exactly the angle of inclination of single character.
If the character point number is M, the character pixels point coordinate is (x i, y i), i=1,2 ... M, through coordinate after shear transformation be transformed to (x ' i, y i), the variance of subpoint horizontal ordinate is defined as:
&sigma; 2 = 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N ( x i &prime; - 1 N &Sigma; k = 1 N x k &prime; ) 2
Can obtain like this:
&sigma; 2 = 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N [ ( xi - yi &CenterDot; tan &theta; ) - 1 N &Sigma; k = 1 N ( x k - y k &CenterDot; tan &theta; ) ] 2
= 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N [ ( x i - 1 N &Sigma; k = 1 N x k ) - ( y i - 1 N &Sigma; k = 1 N y k ) &CenterDot; tan &theta; ] 2
= 1 N &Sigma; i = 1 N [ u i - v i &CenterDot; tan &theta; ] 2
Wherein, u i = x i - 1 N &Sigma; k = 1 N x k , v i = y i - 1 N &Sigma; k = 1 N y k .
Make the horizontal ordinate variances sigma of character pixels point projection in vertical direction 2Obtain minimum value, need make σ 2Derivative to θ is 0, tries to achieve θ ' and is single character angle of inclination in vertical direction.The derivation of equation is as follows:
d&sigma; 2 d&theta; = - 2 sec 2 &theta; 0 N &Sigma; i = 1 N [ u i - v i tan &theta; 0 ] &CenterDot; v i = 0
Because sec 2θ 0≠ 0, so have
Figure BDA00002774085200112
Can obtain character and car plate inclined angle alpha in vertical direction is
&alpha; = &theta; 0 = arctan &Sigma; i = 1 N u i v i &Sigma; i = 1 N v i 2
License plate image has satisfied the requirement of License Plate Character Segmentation substantially through slant correction, next only needs the character in license plate area is cut out separately.The present invention proposes a kind of partitioning algorithm based on cluster connected sum vertical projection and complete this step operation.
First find out connected domain in image based on the Character Segmentation of License Plate of cluster analysis, then by the priori of car plate, connected domain screened, this algorithm can fine solution complex background condition under the character cutting problem.Specific algorithm is described below:
(1) license plate image is carried out binary conversion treatment.
(2) image after processing is by line scanning, as two pel spacings from d<=d Const, think that these two pixels belong to a class, namely two pixels in character.Wherein d is defined as:
d(A,B)=|x 1-x 2|+|y 1-y 2|
The d of Chinese character ConstThe d of value and English character, numeral ConstValue is different.For (nWidth)/7 part d before image ConstGet 3, do like this to solve the disconnected problem of Chinese character; To (nWidth*6)/7 part d after image ConstGet 2.
What (3) screening obtained is all kinds of, removes height less than the class of Height/2, is 7 characters and left and right side frame through obtaining class after screening.
(4) if adhesion problems appears in character, the number of class less than 7 or certain class width much larger than the mean breadth of class.Divide processing with vertical projection method to these classes this moment, thereby find out the frontier point of two characters in middle the near zone searching vertical projection local minizing point of class.
(5) all kinds of reference positions according to from left to right name placement.
(6) number as fruit is 7, forwards (7) to.Otherwise think and mistake occurs when cutting apart.
