s11: acquiring a license plate image, and preprocessing the license plate image to obtain a sample image; and the license plate in the license plate image is a double-layer license plate.
In the embodiment, a license plate image is obtained first, and the license plate image is preprocessed to obtain a sample image for training a model, wherein a license plate in the license plate image is a double-layer license plate. In order to enable the trained license plate recognition model to have higher recognition accuracy, the quantity and quality of sample images need to be strictly controlled. Double-layer license plate images in different environments, different angles and different blurriness degrees are collected, so that the model can have better generalization performance, and the double-layer license plate images can be RGB color pictures containing various double-layer license plates downloaded from a network or the RGB color pictures containing the double-layer license plates automatically captured according to actual scenes. The pre-processing process of the double-layer license plate image may specifically be to first obtain a position and a size of a double-layer license plate in the double-layer license plate image to obtain double-layer license plate information in the double-layer license plate image, perform outward expansion processing on a left boundary and a right boundary of the double-layer license plate based on the double-layer license plate information, and then set the size of the double-layer license plate subjected to the outward expansion processing to a preset size to obtain a sample image, where the preset size is a size W × H of an input image of the license plate recognition model (W is a width of a picture, and H is a height of the picture). The method can be understood as a method that the position of a double-layer license plate in a double-layer license plate image can be detected by using the existing license plate detection model so as to obtain a double-layer license plate area, specifically, the size and the position of the double-layer license plate can be obtained according to license plate positioning, and random expansion is carried out on the left and right boundaries in a range from zero to one tenth of the width of the license plate based on license plate position information. In this embodiment, the license plate detection model is not limited, and further, the size of the license plate is corrected according to the position of the license plate and then fixed to the size of the input image of the model to be trained.

And processing the sample images in the sample training set by the preset full convolution network to obtain the corresponding two-dimensional characteristic image of the license plate image, namely the height of the preset full convolution network characteristic output layer is 2. The two-dimensional feature map is divided into an upper one-dimensional feature map and a lower one-dimensional feature map, namely, the feature layer is divided into two halves in the height direction, so that the upper part and the lower part are both one-dimensional feature maps, wherein the features in the two one-dimensional feature maps are in a mapping relation with the license plate information of two levels in a double-layer license plate, namely, the feature information in the one-dimensional feature map of the upper part is mapped to the features in the upper license plate, and the feature information in the one-dimensional feature map of the lower part is mapped to the features in the lower license plate. And splicing the two one-dimensional characteristic graphs in a series connection mode to obtain a spliced characteristic graph corresponding to the two-dimensional characteristic graph, and finally sending the spliced characteristic graph into a connection time sequence classification structure to carry out optimization training on the blank model.
