项目连接
本项目通过整合OpenCV图像处理技术与OCR引擎,实现了从复杂场景图像中检测并识别车牌的完整流程。系统针对不同光照条件、倾斜角度和车牌类型(如蓝牌、黄牌)进行优化,在自建测试集上达到89.7%的车牌定位准确率和82.3%的字符识别准确率。其技术特点包括:
相较于基于深度学习的方案(如YOLO+CRNN),本项目在嵌入式设备上可实现15-20FPS的实时处理性能,特别适用于停车场管理等资源受限场景。
采用限制对比度自适应直方图均衡化(CLAHE):
I o u t ( x , y ) = CLAHE ( I i n ( x , y ) ; c l i p L i m i t = 2.0 , t i l e G r i d S i z e = ( 8 , 8 ) ) I_{out}(x,y) = \text{CLAHE}(I_{in}(x,y); clipLimit=2.0, tileGridSize=(8,8)) Iout(x,y)=CLAHE(Iin(x,y);clipLimit=2.0,tileGridSize=(8,8))
该算法在局部区域内进行直方图均衡,避免全局过曝。
使用Sobel算子提取垂直边缘:
G x = [ − 1 0 + 1 − 2 0 + 2 − 1 0 + 1 ] ∗ I G_x = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & +1 \\ -2 & 0 & +2 \\ -1 & 0 & +1 \end{bmatrix} * I Gx= −1−2−1000+1+2+1 ∗I
转换到HSV空间进行颜色阈值分割:
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
# 蓝色车牌范围
lower_blue = np.array([100, 50, 50])
upper_blue = np.array([140, 255, 255])
mask = cv2.inRange(hsv, lower_blue, upper_blue)
通过闭运算连接断裂区域:
I p r o c e s s e d = ( I ⊕ B ) ⊖ B B = 矩形结构元素 ( 15 × 3 ) I_{processed} = (I \oplus B) \ominus B \\ B = \text{矩形结构元素}(15 \times 3) Iprocessed=(I⊕B)⊖BB=矩形结构元素(15×3)
其中 ⊕ \oplus ⊕表示膨胀, ⊖ \ominus ⊖表示腐蚀。
筛选符合车牌长宽比的轮廓:
contours, _ = cv2.findContours(mask, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
for cnt in contours:
x,y,w,h = cv2.boundingRect(cnt)
aspect_ratio = w / h
if 2.5 < aspect_ratio < 4.5: # 典型车牌比例3.14
candidates.append(cnt)
通过垂直投影定位字符边界:
vertical_projection = np.sum(thresh, axis=0)
peaks = np.where(vertical_projection > np.mean(vertical_projection)*1.5)[0]
根据字符尺寸特征排除噪声:
字符高度 ∈ [ 0.6 H p l a t e , 0.9 H p l a t e ] 字符宽度 ∈ [ 0.3 W c h a r , 1.2 W c h a r ] \text{字符高度} \in [0.6H_{plate}, 0.9H_{plate}] \\ \text{字符宽度} \in [0.3W_{char}, 1.2W_{char}] 字符高度∈[0.6Hplate,0.9Hplate]字符宽度∈[0.3Wchar,1.2Wchar]
