Key Methods of Recognizing Container Number Automatically Using Video Stream in Intelligent Tally

An automatic identification algorithm of container number based on video stream is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is designed to use Selective Search and frame difference method to locate the front and rear sides of the container and the land and sea side of the container. And then the region of the number is located through noise filtering. Ultimately, the complete container number is identified by the template matching and convolutional neural network (CNN). The algorithm can realize the real-time positioning of the container surface from the four-side video stream of the container docking as well as the identification of the container number.
