A License Plate Location Algorithm Based on Edge Detection and Morphology

A new algorithm for vehicle license plate detection based on edge detection and mathematical morphology is proposed.Firstly,utilizing edge detection and morphological analysis to obtain candidate regions of license plate,then analyzing candidate regions by connected component,finally positioning plate region.Experimental results show that the method can reduce the influence of background noise on distinguishing the target region of image and time-consuming of license plate location to realize the license plate location.
