Abstract :
This paper presents a robust and real time method of license plate localization based on level sets. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: (1) medial axis transformation of selected level sets, (2) identification of sub-strokes, and (3) a multi-resolution window-based analysis for plate localization. Experiments show the effectiveness of our algorithm.
