Objective
This application is very demanding in terms of the image blur due to vehicle motion, the variability of the lighting conditions, and in the limited number of image pixels for each character to be recognised; requirements which are typical of a larger class of applications.
The project involves the specification, design and development of software tools and hardware platforms for building low cost flexible knowledge based vision systems for real time recognition of symbol clusters on moving objects in partially controlled symbol clusters on moving objects in partially controlled environments. A large number of applications exist for such systems, but they often require the system to work with nonoptimal viewpoints and perform under difficult lighting circumstances.
The prototype system will be demonstrated in the application of reading car plates on a roadway. This application is particularly demanding in terms of the variability of the lighting conditions, and in terms of the image blur due to vehicle motion.
A system based on an intelligent camera head connected to a transputer based image processing system has been specified and designed and the development of the various hardware modules completed. In parallel to these activities, methods and algorithms have been developed on standard workstations and tested with image sequences recorded in realistic conditions.
A prototype system has been successfully completed and evaluated by field tests "on-the-road".
