APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING CHARACTER AREA IN VEHICLE NUMBER PLATE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and a method for extracting a text region in a vehicle license plate are provided to select the final text region through filtering of a text recognizer in a plurality of text candidate regions. CONSTITUTION: A candidate region extraction unit(120) extracts a plurality of text candidate regions using a plurality of algorithms from a vehicle license plate image. A filtering unit(130) determines the final text candidate region in a plurality of the text candidate regions. A text region selection unit(140) selects the final text region using geometric information of each blob in the final text candidate regions.
