Plate Character Segmentation Algorithm Based on Projection Feature and Prior Knowledge

Article Preview

Abstract:

nfluenced by factors like mud, frame, rivet, space mark and plate slant, plate character segmentation tends to be inaccurate and even results in mistakes. In order to tackle these problems, this paper puts forward a plate character segmentation algorithm based on projection feature and prior knowledge. That is, firstly of all, to carry out horizontal coarse segmentation by horizontal projection, then use both vertical projection and prior knowledge to conduct vertical segmentation. At last, to carry out horizontal fine segmentation by local projection. The experiment demonstrates that such algorithm can solve the above mentioned problems accurately and practically with high-efficiency.
