Abstract

License plate location is the key of license plate recognition.In order to locate license plate quickly and accurately under complicated background,this paper presents a new location algorithm.Firstly,we make a set of pretreatment to original image,such as graying,binarization,noise reduction and edge detection.Secondly,use the method of mathematical morphology to get candidate areas of license plate.Finally, make the feature matching in candidate areas which using a method of improved feature matching --SSIFT(Scale-invariant Feature Transform).The experimental results show that, this method has a high recognition efficiency in the complex background and it has good robustness.
