通过前面的学习,我们已经可以从图像中定位出车牌区域,并且通过SVM模型删除“虚假”车牌,下面我们需要对车牌检测步骤中获取到的车牌图像,进行光学字符识别(OCR),在进行光学字符识别之前,需要对车牌图块进行灰度化,二值化,然后使用一系列算法获取到车牌的每个字符的分割图块。本节主要对该字符分割部分进行详细讨论。

EasyPR中,字符分割部分主要是在类 CCharsSegment 中进行的,字符分割函数为 charsSegment()

下面我们最该字符分割函数中的主要函数进行一个简单的梳理:

  • spatial_ostu 空间otsu算法,主要用于处理光照不均匀的图像,对于当前图像,分块分别进行二值化;
  • clearLiuDing 处理车牌上铆钉和水平线,因为铆钉和字符连在一起,会影响后面识别的精度。此处有一个特别的乌龙事件,就是铆钉的读音应该是maoding,不读liuding;
  • verifyCharSizes 字符大小验证;
  • GetSpecificRect  获取特殊字符的位置,主要是车牌中除汉字外的第一个字符,一般位于车牌的 1/7 ~ 2/7宽度处;
  • GetChineseRect 获取汉字字符,一般为特殊字符左移字符宽度的1.15倍;
  • RebuildRect 从左到右取前7个字符,排除右边边界会出现误判的 I ;
  • slideChineseWindow 改进中文字符的识别,在识别中文时,增加一个小型的滑动窗口,以此弥补通过省份字符直接查找中文字符时的定位不精等现象;
  • preprocessChar 识别字符前预处理,主要是通过仿射变换,将字符的大小变换为20 *20;
  • judgeChinese 中文字符判断,后面字符识别时详细介绍。

spatial_ostu 函数代码如下:

技术分享
 1 // this spatial_ostu algorithm are robust to 
 2 // the plate which has the same light shine, which is that
 3 // the light in the left of the plate is strong than the right.
 4 void spatial_ostu(InputArray _src, int grid_x, int grid_y, Color type) {
 5   Mat src = _src.getMat();
 6 
 7   int width = src.cols / grid_x;
 8   int height = src.rows / grid_y;
 9 
10   // iterate through grid
11   for (int i = 0; i < grid_y; i++) {
12     for (int j = 0; j < grid_x; j++) {
13       Mat src_cell = Mat(src, Range(i*height, (i + 1)*height), Range(j*width, (j + 1)*width));
14       if (type == BLUE) {
15         cv::threshold(src_cell, src_cell, 0, 255, CV_THRESH_OTSU + CV_THRESH_BINARY);
16       }
17       else if (type == YELLOW) {
18         cv::threshold(src_cell, src_cell, 0, 255, CV_THRESH_OTSU + CV_THRESH_BINARY_INV);
19       } 
20       else if (type == WHITE) {
21         cv::threshold(src_cell, src_cell, 0, 255, CV_THRESH_OTSU + CV_THRESH_BINARY_INV);
22       }
23       else {
24         cv::threshold(src_cell, src_cell, 0, 255, CV_THRESH_OTSU + CV_THRESH_BINARY);
25       }
26     }
27   }

spatial_ostu 函数主要是为了应对左右光照不一致的情况,譬如车牌的左边部分光照比右边部分要强烈的多,通过图像分块处理,提高otsu分割的鲁棒性;

clearLiuDing函数代码如下:

 2   std::vector<float> fJump;
 3   int whiteCount = 0;

 9     for (int j = 0; j < img.cols - 1; j++) {

36       whiteCount * 1.0 / (img.rows * img.cols) > 0.50) {
37     return false;
38   }
39 
40   for (int i = 0; i < img.rows; i++) {
41     if (jump.at<float>(i) <= x) {
42       for (int j = 0; j < img.cols; j++) {
43         img.at<char>(i, j) = 0;

清除铆钉对字符识别的影响,基本思路是:依次扫描各行,判断跳变的次数,字符所在行跳变次数会很多,但是铆钉所在行则偏少,将每行中跳变次数少于7的行判定为铆钉,清除影响。

verifyCharSizes函数代码如下:

 1 bool CCharsSegment::verifyCharSizes(Mat r) {
 2   // Char sizes 45x90
 3   float aspect = 45.0f / 90.0f;
 4   float charAspect = (float)r.cols / (float)r.rows;
 5   float error = 0.7f;
 6   float minHeight = 10.f;
 7   float maxHeight = 35.f;
 8   // We have a different aspect ratio for number 1, and it can be ~0.2
 9   float minAspect = 0.05f;
10   float maxAspect = aspect + aspect * error;
11   // area of pixels
12   int area = cv::countNonZero(r);
13   // bb area
14   int bbArea = r.cols * r.rows;
15   //% of pixel in area
16   int percPixels = area / bbArea;
17 
18   if (percPixels <= 1 && charAspect > minAspect && charAspect < maxAspect &&
19       r.rows >= minHeight && r.rows < maxHeight)
20     return true;
