Summary :

Changing vehicle structures and backgrounds makes it very difficult to correctly extract a license plate region from a vehicle image. In this paper, we propose a simple method to extract the license plate region using edge properties of wavelet subband. The High Frequency Subband (HFS) of an image has edge information for each direction. Edge information is concentrated in each direction of the Headlight-Radiator-Headlight (H-R-H) and the license plate region compared to other regions in the vehicle image. This paper shows a license plate region extraction method using these edge properties and our experimental results with various vehicle images.
