Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) has been a frequent topic of research due to
many practical applications. However, many of the current solutions are still not robust in …

This paper presents a robust and efficient method for license plate detection with the
purpose of accurately localizing vehicle license plates from complex scenes in real time. A …

License plate detection and recognition (LPDR) has attracted considerable attention in
recent years, and many algorithms have presented the competitive performance on several …

We present a hybrid algorithm for detection and tracking of text in natural scenes that goes
beyond the full-detection approaches in terms of time performance optimization. A state-of …

We present a mobile head-mounted device for detecting and tracking text that is encased in
an ordinary flat-cap hat. The main parts of the device are an integrated camera and audio …

We propose an efficient real-time automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) framework,
particularly designed to work on CCTV video footage obtained from cameras that are not …

Recognition of vehicle license plates is an important task in several real applications. Most
approaches first detect a vehicle, locate the license plate and then recognize its characters …

What is disclosed is a system and method for processing an image to obscure information
which can be used for identification purposes. In one embodiment, an image is received as …

The max-tree is a mathematical morphology data structure that represents an image through
the hierarchical relationship of connected components resulting from different thresholds. It …

1.1 Background In past researches, the target of OCR is mainly document images acquired
by scanner; this is because scanner can provide images with sufficiently high resolution for …
