The neutral network algorithm using VTD and HTD features is also an innovation. In addition, a so called secondary recognition method which splits characters into different parts is developed. Experimental results show that it is a simple and fast algorithm, which meets the request of real time and nicety performances of LPR and thus has applied value in intelligence transportation system (ITS).展开更多

The handwritten Chinese character string is partitioned into a sequence of consecutive segments, which are combined to implement dissimilarity evaluation within a sliding window whose durations are determined adaptively by the integration of shapes and context of evaluations. The average stroke width is estimated for the handwritten Chinese character string, and a set of candidate character segmentation boundaries is found by using the integration of pixel and stroke features. The final decisions on segmentation and recognition are made under minimal arithmetical mean dissimilarities. Experiments proved that the proposed approach of adaptive duration outperforms the method of fixed duration, and is very effective for the recognition of overlapped, broken, touched, loosely configured Chinese characters.展开更多
文摘针对道路交通多车牌识别问题,提出了一种快速鲁棒的多车牌检测识别方法,包括多车牌检测和车牌字符识别两部分:构造BP (Back-Propagation)神经网络模型用于颜色识别,结合图像形态学运算方法,筛选候选车牌目标,基于支持矢量机从候选车牌目标中判别真正的车牌目标;通过轮廓尺寸判断,并结合车牌尺寸特征,依次分割提取城市代码字符块、省份代码字符块及5位机动车编码字符块,最后基于BP神经网络识别字符块内容.基于上述原理,开发了鲁棒的多机动车车牌自动检测识别系统,并在真实场景中进行了实验测试,结果表明:1)车辆在正常速度行驶条件下,系统依然可以保证90%以上的车牌检测识别正确率;2)系统可实现同时多车牌检测识别;3)文中实验硬件配置下,系统单幅图像检测识别平均时间低于130 ms,处理频率约8 Hz.
