Abstract

The invention relates to a method for locating license plates at a gas station. The method mainly solves the problem that at present no method for locating the license plates at the gas station exists. The method for locating the license plates at gas station comprises the following steps: 1, acquiring a source image; 2, conducting preprocessing on the source image, wherein the step 2 comprises the sub-steps of image graying, wavelet transform and image filtering; 3, filtering interference points, wherein edge detection is conducted on the image after preprocessing, corrosion and a closed operation are conducted on a detected result, the transverse and longitudinal interference points of the image are filtered through a bwareaopen function, and the closed operation is conducted on the image; 4, fusing edge points; 5, outputting a locating result. By means of the method based on combination of mathematical morphology, edge detection and colors, accurate locating of the license plates at the gas station is achieved, locating precision is high, and locating speed is fast. The method for locating the license plates at the gas station is applied to identification of the license plates at the gas station.

Description

A kind of refuelling station license plate locating method
Technical field
The present invention relates to image recognition technology field, be specifically related to a kind of refuelling station license plate locating method.
Background technology
Car plate is the outstanding feature of each car authentication, obtains the license plate number of vehicle, just equals to know the various important informations in vehicle archives, be convenient to vehicle to supervise, therefore, the widespread use of modern traffic control system active demand license plate recognition technology.License plate recognition technology is one of important component part in modern intelligent transportation system, applies very extensive.It is take technology such as Digital Image Processing, pattern-recognition, Computer Analysis as basis, and vehicle image or video sequence to shot by camera are analyzed, and obtain the unique number-plate number of each automobile, thus the identifying of completing.Refuelling station is one provides the Code in Hazardous Special Locations of fuel oil and lubricating oil for various vehicles, have that vehicle flowrate is large, down time is long, vehicle mixes, the background color of car plate and the color of character varied with the different feature of car plate hanging position height, license plate number relatively easily gathers, be necessary to install Vehicle License Plate Recognition System, can be public security department false-trademark vehicle, deck vehicle, the stolen and information of plundering vehicle and hit-and-run vehicle are provided, attack the criminal offence that relates to vehicle seriously, ensure citizen's safety of life and property.
Position System of automobile license plate location is as the important component part of Vehicle License Plate Recognition System, its effect is the position that provides car plate in image, for License Plate Character Segmentation and Recognition of License Plate Characters work provide element task, at present, Position System of automobile license plate location existing domestic and international experts and scholars research and develop, for parking lot management and road management violating the regulations, but because the vehicle of refuelling station mixes, the background color of car plate and the color of character are varied, car plate hanging position height is different, at present at home to the research of refuelling station's Position System of automobile license plate location still in the starting stage, also there is no effective refuelling station license plate locating method.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is not also specifically designed to the license plate locating method of refuelling station at present for solving, and proposes a kind of refuelling station license plate locating method.
A kind of refuelling station license plate locating method, carries out according to the following steps:
1, gather source images: have the position of licence plate to take pictures to vehicle, use Visible Light Camera daytime, use thermal infrared imager night;
2, source images is carried out to pre-service: comprise image gray processing and wavelet image filtering;
Gray processing processing can improve processing speed, reduce to take up room; Wavelet image filtering can make image regularization, reduces the contradiction of time and frequency resolution;
3, noise spot filtering: pretreated image is carried out to rim detection, the result detecting is carried out to burn into closed operation, then use bwareaopen function that horizontal, longitudinal noise spot is considered and removed to the image of closed operation;
Use bwareaopen function, according to the colour match filtering interfering edge of the background color of car plate and character, then according to car plate transverse features filtering interfering edge, obtain transverse edge point, then use the longitudinal filtering interfering point of bwareaopen function, obtain longitudinal edge point;
4, marginal point merges: the transverse edge point obtaining in step 3 is connected to fusion with longitudinal edge point;
5, output positioning result: transverse edge point is connected with longitudinal edge point after fusion, obtain connected component labeling, then according to shape, environment, connected component labeling is carried out to the screening of car plate district based on Ababoost algorithm, positioning result is finally exported at filtering interfering edge;
First according to car plate rectangular shape screening car plate district, then according to car plate surrounding environment Feature Selection car plate district, then according to vertical projection Feature Selection car plate district, finally based on Ababoost algorithm screening car plate district, and positioning result is exported.
The present invention includes following beneficial effect:
1, the present invention is based on the accurate location that method that mathematical morphology and rim detection and color combine realizes refuelling station's car plate, positioning precision is high, and locating speed is fast;
2, source images is carried out to image gray processing and wavelet image filter preprocessing, can improve processing speed, reduce to take up room, make image regularization, reduce the contradiction of time and frequency resolution;
3, the inventive method takes into full account the feature of turnover refuelling station vehicle self, and car plate position fixing process is simple, is conducive to adopt Vehicle License Plate Recognition System to hit the criminal offence of vehicle.
Accompanying drawing explanation
The process flow diagram that accompanying drawing 1 is the inventive method.
