Anti-Noise Car License Plate Location Algorithm Based on Mathematical Morphology Edge Detection

We proposed an improved mathematical morphology edge detection algorithm, aimed at the significance of car location in car license plate recognition system. The first step is the true color image pre-processing, an improved mathematical morphology edge detection algorithm is used to detect the edge of the car image and after the image binarization, the morphology method is used to fill the image, and then get the candidate area after corrosion expansion after open operation. Then, according to the area of the candidate region than the circumference and vertical projection used in comprehensive analysis, the license plate area can be located accurately. The experimental result shows that the method is an effective anti-noise car plate lisence location algorithm.
