License Plate Location Based on Symmetry Finding and Color Clustering
基于车体对称及颜色聚类的车牌自动定位方法

symmetry of the car body and employing color clustering. In this method, scene (night or day) of the image to study is first identified. For each type of scene, a specific algorithm is designed to locate the license plate in it. A double location algorithm is implemented for night images, and another one based on symmetry finding and rules regarding text related characteristics in the region of license plate for day images. Experimental results show an accuracy of 95.7% for both image scene classification and license plate location.
