Car Plate Recognition, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Filters, EnhancementAbstract
Nowadays, Optical Character recognition is one of the affected tools for recognition the plate of car from a still video or image in the intelligent transportation systems. The Optical Character Recognition accuracy incompletely depends on the input image quality. In this article, two efficient approaches are proposed to enhance the quality of the car plate image selected from video clips. To minimize the error rate the proposed technique is used even at low resolution image. Maximum, and median filters are used in this work to enhance the quality of image. These technique extend to collect the pixels of the consecutive frames of the video in filtering approaches. The error rate of the OCR is tested on fifty road and street video clips by decreasing the resolution of the images and filtering them with common and proposed filtering methods. The test results indicate that both proposed methods, improve the accuracy of OCR, and the highest reduction of error is obtained by the proposed temporal maximum filtering method.
