Computer vision-based recognition of Bangle vehicle license plates (LPs) is an arduous task in dirty and muddy situations. This paper proposes an efficient method for real-time computer vision-based recognition of Bangla vehicle LPs using contour analysis and prediction algorithms. The method initially applies gray scaling the input RGB images, histogram equalization to improve the grayscale image quality, edge detection using Sobel edge detector, and adaptive thresholding to convert it to a binary image. The system localizes the vehicle LP based on the maximum rectangular contour area and converts it into a predefined size. Noise removal technique using morphological dilation and erosion operation is used, followed by Gaussian filtering on binary image to improve the image quality further. The system clusters the two-lined LP into seven clusters. The sub-clustering is applied on specific clusters and makes 68 individual sub-clusters. The system extracts vector contour (VC) from each 68 individual classes. After VC extraction, the system normalizes it into a q predefined length. The system applies inter co-relation function (ICF) to categorize each sub-cluster to its previously defined individual class. For that, it calculates the maximum similarity between test and previously trained VCs. The system applies the dependency prediction algorithm in parallel to predict the whole string (district name) in the cluster-1 based on previously categorized class or classes (starting character or characters of the district part). (Metro) or (null) from cluster-2, "-" (hyphen) from cluster-3 and 6 are predicted automatically as their positions are fixed. The system is trained using 68 classes in which each class contains 100 samples generated by the augmentation technique. The system is tested using another set of 68 classes with a total of 6 8 × 1 0 0 = 6 8 0 0 images acquiring the recognition accuracy of 96.62% with the mean computational cost of 8.363 ms/f. The system is also tested using 500 vehicle whole Bangla LPs achieving the mean whole LP recognition accuracy of 95.41% with a mean computational cost of 35.803 ms/f. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
