License plate recognition system (LPR) plays a vital role in intelligent transport systems to build up smart environments. Numerous country specific methods have been proposed successfully for an LPR system, but there is a need to find a generalized solution that is independent of license plate layout. The proposed architecture is comprised of two important LPR stages: (i) License plate character segmentation (LPCS) and (ii) License plate character recognition (LPCR). A foreground polarity detection model is proposed by using a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) channel-based color map in order to segment and recognize the LP characters effectively at both LPCS and LPCR stages respectively. Further, a multi-channel CNN framework with layer aggregation module is proposed to extract deep features, and support vector machine is used to produce target labels. Multi-channel processing with merged features from different-level convolutional layers makes output feature map more expressive. Experimental results show that the proposed method is capable of achieving high recognition rate for multinational vehicles license plates under various illumination conditions.

This paper is concerned with the problem of license plate recognition of vehicles. A recognition algorithm based on dynamic sliding window to binarize license plate characters is proposed. While a connected domain approach is presented to cope with the degradation characters. There are three steps to recognize the characters. First, the characters are classified by their features. Then, based on such classification a grid method is used to construct the feature vector. Finally, least square support vector machine is employed to recognize these characters. The test results show the high recognition rate and also illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The license plate recognition is an important part of the intelligent traffic management system, and the application of deep learning to the license plate recognition system can effectively improve the speed and accuracy of recognition. Aiming at the problems of traditional license plate recognition algorithms such as the low accuracy, slow speed, and the recognition rate being easily affected by the environment, a Convolutional Neural Network- (CNN-) based license plate recognition algorithm-Fast-LPRNet is proposed. This algorithm uses the nonsegment recognition method, removes the fully connected layer, and reduces the number of parameters. The algorithm—which has strong generalization ability, scalability, and robustness—performs license plate recognition on the FPGA hardware. Increaseing the depth of network on the basis of the Fast-LPRNet structure, the dataset of Chinese City Parking Dataset (CCPD) can be recognized with an accuracy beyond 90%. The experimental results show that the license plate recognition algorithm has high recognition accuracy, strong generalization ability, and good robustness.

The result of license plate recognition with a single feature is unsatisfactory. A multi-feature fusion method based on D-S evidence theory is proposed to improve results of mine loadometer license plate recognition. Firstly, three kinds of features including contour, projection and trellis-coded are extracted from the vehicle plate character image. Then the Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) is defined to get the credibility of recognition results by using the multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) with one-against-one method. Finally, D-S evidence theory is employed to integrate the credibility of evidences for making a final decision. The experimental results show that the multi-feature fusion method has higher recognition rate, fault tolerance and robustness.
