车牌识别系统中车牌定位及分割技术研究 摘 要 随着经济社会的发展，我国汽车数量，尤其是私家车数量大量增加。这对交通公共基础设施的建设和与其配套的车辆管理系统提出了更高的要求。为实现道路交通管理的自动化和车辆行驶的智能化，各种智能交通系统应运而生。汽车牌照是确定汽车的有效手段，因而车辆牌照识别技术在智能交通管理中发挥着基础性的重要作用。车牌识别技术主要包括以下三个部分:车牌定位技术、车牌的字符分割技术和字符识别技术。车牌定位的任务就是确定出车牌在图像中的具体位置;车牌定位是车牌识别系统完成图像采集后对图像进行处理的第一步，分割是对车牌进行识别的基础。本文的对车牌识别系统中车牌定位及分割研究的大致方法为：首先对图像进行预处理，包括灰度化、维纳滤波去噪以及利用边缘检测函数对图像边缘化，再使用Hough变换对图像进行矫正，根据边缘图像的直方图对图像进行切割，提取主要车牌区域。最后根据主要车牌区域的灰度直方图确定二值化阈值，根据车牌区域特征对主要车牌区域进行字符图像有效信息的分割。用MATLAB软件对上述步骤进行仿真，实验结果表明，应用上述方法能够分割出汽车牌照图像的有效信息，并且效果较好。 关键词：图像分割；边缘检测；车牌识别 Research on License Plate Localization and Segmentation Technology Abstract With the development of economic society, number of cars in our country, especially the number of private cars has increased a lot。This have put forward higher requirements for the traffic infrastructure construction and its supporting vehicle management system. In order to realize the road traffic management automation and the vehicle intelligent, intelligent traffic system emerge as the times require. Vehicle license plate is a effectively way to identify the car, thus the vehicle license plate recognition technology plays a fundamental role in intelligent traffic management. License plate recognition technology mainly include three parts，such as the license plate location technology, the character segmentation technology and the character recognition technology. The task of license plate location technology is to determine the specific location in image license. License plate location is the first step. The character segmentation technology is based on license plate recognition. In this paper, the method about license plate recognition system for license plate location and segmentation is, firstly, image preprocessing, including gray-scale, Wiener filter denoise and edge detection function of image edge. Second using Hough transform for image correction, cutting the image according to the histogram of edge of image to extraction of main plate region. Finally, according to the hist
