This paper presents a hybrid license plate extraction algorithm based on the edge statistics and morphology for monitoring the highway ticketing systems. The method can improve the location rate only by the edge statistics. The proposed approach can be divided into four sections, which are, vertical edge detection, edge statistical analysis, hierarchical-based license plate location, and morphology-based license plate extraction. The algorithm can quickly and correctly detect the region of vehicle license plates. Under the experiment databases, which were taken from real scene, 9786 from 9825 images are successfully detected. The average accuracy of locating vehicle license plate is 99.6%.
Index Terms:
edge Detection, hierarchical-based license plate location, morphology
