License Plate Recognition Based on Fractal and Hidden Markov Feature
Because existing license plate recognition algorithm has lower efficiency in the binarization and character recognition
a license plate recognition algorithm based on fractal dimension and hidden Markov features was proposed. The algorithm is based on fractal dimension and hidden Markov features
and uses the joint classification of OC_SVM and MC_SVM to recognize license plates. In experiments
the fractal dimension was used complement the binarization of the license plate
the hidden Markov features were taken to extract character features and a multi-classifier was utilized to recognize the character. 800 Chinese character images
800 English letter images and 1600 Arabic numeral images were recognized
obtained results show that the recognition rates of Chinese characters
English letters and Arabic numerals are 98%
98.5% and 98.9%
respectively
the average recognition rate of license plates is more than 90.60%.It concludes that the method has higher efficiency
better accuracy and stronger robustness
and it can provide a guarantee for license plate recognition.
