Popis: This paper addresses a class of problem dealing with the night time license plate recognition. On top of poor quality and noises, the night time license plate images also suffer from varying lighting due to other car beams and street lights, affecting the performance of the plate recognition results. Here we integrate the ability of quotient image for overcoming the illumination variations and the homomorphic filtering for removing noises under one framework. The proposed algorithm is subsequently carried out in a multi-scale fashion for deriving further information of the images. Experiment results using real license plate night time data on a deep learning character recognizer show superiority of the proposed method for handling the noises and illumination problems simultaneously.
