【摘要】 汽车牌照定位与识别系统是智能交通系统的一个重要组成部分,利用该技术可以实现对车辆的自动登记、验证、监视和报警,高速公路收费,对停车场进行管理,特殊场所车辆的出入许可等。本文主要讨论软件部分的工作,包括汽车牌照定位分割、字符切分和字符识别。首先通过对图像预处理的各种方法及特点进行了研究,找出了适合本系统的汽车牌照图像的预处理方法。其次对汽车牌照定位分割的主要方法进行详细地介绍和比较,确定了汽车牌照的定位分割过程。先采用线扫描法对汽车牌照进行粗定位,然后在图像处理的基础上采用基于边缘检测和投影图法对汽车牌照完成精确定位。再次实现汽车牌照字符的切分,为保证切分效果,对定位后汽车牌照进行倾斜校正,然后采用垂直投影法实现字符切分,实现字符切分后对字符归一化处理,为字符识别提供大小一致的字符。最后本文采用结构和统计相结合的方法对汽车牌照字符进行一种基于模糊决策的模糊分类器的模糊决策识别。在此理论研究的基础上利用VC++6.0开发了汽车牌照定位与识别系统的软件。实验数据表明,本系统能较准确地定位分割车牌、字符切分和字符识别。同时也说明了把多种图像的预处理与识别技术有机结合起来可以提高系统的识别能力,在有效、实用原则的基础上利用模糊技术不仅可以提高汽车车牌上汉字、英文字母和数字的识别率。该系统的开发适合我国目前交通汽车业的现状,具有很好的市场开发价值。同时该系统涉及到数字图像处理、模式识别和模糊识别等多个技术领域。因此同样具有很高的理论研究价值。更多还原

【Abstract】 Along with our country reform and open policy unceasingly thorough, the national economy develops fast, the automobile popularization is getting higher day by day, with the traffic flow increasing, such phenomena as traffic jam, traffic accident, and air pollution are getting worsen correspondingly rapidly. Carrying out intelligence transportation management is imperative in China. The license plate localization and recognition systems are important components of intelligence transportation system that can make it possible to manage the vehicles automatic log-on, the confirmation, the surveillance and the warning, the highway charge, the parking lot, special place vehicles permission and so on.The license plate localization and recognition system research involves the digital image processing, the computer vision, the pattern recognition and the artificial intelligence and many other technology areas, its key technologies include car license localization division, character segmentation, and character recognition. The license plate localization division refers to the location of license plate area from the primitive gathering automobile image and division, is foundation of the license plate recognition. The character segmentation duty is cutting many lines or multi-character images into the single character from the entire image, further carries out the character recognition. The character recognition is a process of understanding Chinese character, the letter and the digit in the license plate, is core in the system.License plate localization division, character segmentation and character recognition has been deeply researched in the paper, the design and software flow based on image processing, pattern recognition, fuzzy recognition of license plate localizations and recognition system has been proposed. Application of image processing technology, the pattern recognition technology and fuzzy recognition mainly has been discussed in the license plate localization and recognition system, on the basis of the primitive automobile image pretreatment technology the license plate localization division and character segmentation has also been researched deeply and the pattern recognition and the fuzzy recognition technology has been used to carry on the recognition to license plate single character.This system uses the gradation image processing to finish the localization and the recognition. Therefore, first the system transforms the color image the gradation image with the weighting even averaging method. In order to reduce the background picture element the disturbance, but preserves or strengthens the picture element in the target area ,the image should be carried on binarization processing, this article uses the quite common overall situation threshold value criterion, when the system carries on the threshold value choice, it adopts the mean value means, for the prominent license plate edge, it uses the gradient value improvement algorithm to realize the image gradient peaking; the middle value filter remove the image noise and the disturbance factor, meanwhile it has realized image smooth.License plate localization division is the first step of this system processing, whether the localization is accurate or not is directly relation to success or failure of the system recognition. According to advantage and shortcoming of the present existing localization division methods and reference of human eye recognition license plate process, namely found the approximate position which the first license plate is, then further determine again the license plate concrete position, and further determine license plate localization division process.This article mainly introduced our country license plate essential feature, the localization knowledge and the main localization method to license plate localization division part. Elaborated the license plate localization method which this article realizes with emphasis, first uses the line scanning method to carry on the thick localization to the license plate, then to the histogram Gauss threshold value law, the overall situation dynamic threshold value law two division methods carries on the comparative analysis, selects the overall situation dynamic threshold value law that suited this article to realize the division, finally uses the methods based on the marginal check and the axonometry to complete the pinpointing to the license plate. This method can adapt different complex background and the different environment license plate zone location, it has the good robustness and timeliness, the localization is accurate.License plate character segmentation directly effects character recognition, firstly the correction for grade pretreatment of located license plate should be finished before license plate character segmentation. The vertical projection has been used to realize the character segmentation, this method can solve effectively major problems that can affect such factors that character segmentation is not entire in the algorithm, and segmentation is shifting. In order to reduce the single license plate character size variables which may bring difficulty for the following license plate character recognition, car license character size normalization processing is finished by pair of three transect interpolation, the normalized effect is better.License plate character recognition was most important link of the overall system, the recognition methods quality immediately influence overall recognition result. This paper uses characteristic selection based on the statistics and the method which unifies characteristic selection based on character structure to finish the recognition to the license plate character, the methods firstly withdraws the four complex index of stroke, area, complexity, bland ratio, these seven character characteristics to the license plate character, to reduce as far as possible distorts to the information characteristic disturbance, or withdraws the reliable characteristic information from the distortion character, defines 5 basic elements that constitutes character outline by using outline first-order differential change tendency, and gives the element examination rule, it may also be insufficient to use the structure element to distinguish incomplete digit accurately, outline statistical nature has been introduced. By designing fuzzy classifier based on the fuzzy decision-making according to above characteristics, the classifier can finish recognition to the single character.Finally, in the above work achievement foundation, the license plate localization and the recognition system software that can collect license plate image pretreatment, the localization division, the character segmentation and the character recognition function has developed by using VC++6.0 .This software has such characteristics as modulation, visualization, simplification.This system makes use of the quite clear ordinary license plate image to carry out the localization, the segmentation and the recognition and make quiet good progress; there is no the scene experimental condition, therefore timeliness and the usability of this method should further be studied through the scene experiment. Moreover the localization and the recognition is based on the gradation image, does not make use of the license plate original color characteristic, this may affect system performance to a certain extent. The color image contains the more pictorial information compared to the gradation image, the research of the localization, the character segmentation and the recognition based on the color image should be strengthen to enhance the system performance.At present, the license plate recognition technology is at the start stage in our country, although the recognition success ratio of each stage arrived at above 90%, but could not have achieved practical request that Synthesis recognition rate can reach ( recognition rate 96% and above the recognition speed of 3 cars per second). The system can locate, divide car license accurately and carry on the recognition. The system suits our country present transportation automobile industry situation, it can widely be applied in such places as highway, urban road, parking lot, it is helpful to our country traffic control automation advancement. Therefore the system has very good value in fundamental research and market development.更多还原
