AN ALGORITHM FOR SEGMENTATION OF SYMBOLS OF A VEHICLE LICENSE PLATE

Abstract. An efficient computational method of segmentation of individual symbols at a license plate is considered. Division into blocks is carried out on the assumption that the symbols are localized in certain specific areas. The license plate image is divided into n parts, where n is the number of characters. The paper also describes a segmentation algorithm that underlies a modified version of this algorithm. Contour analysis was used as a mathematical apparatus for the solution of this problem. The proposed symbol segmentation algorithm allows its use it in systems of recognition of vehicle license plates.

Keywords: edge points, image analysis, symbol segmentation, contour analysis, path with the lowest cost.
