Fast and simple vehicle logo location method
一种简单快速的车标定位方法

Simple appearance of the vehicle cannot be used for vehicle type recognition because of the different view angles, but vehicle logo can be used. The authors proposed a fast and simple method for vehicle logo location. Firstly, the vehicle license in front of the vehicle body could be roughly located by the texture of it, and then the position of the vehicle logo could be roughly found by taking account of the symmetrical prior knowledge. After that, the vehicle logo could be exactly detected by edge feature and morphology operation. Taking into account all kinds of noise, as well as the impact of morphology, template matching was used for precision positioning and rough identification. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
