车牌识别--倾斜矫正

在车牌识别系统中， 车牌字符可以正确切割的前提是车牌图像可以水平，以至于水平投影和垂直投影可以正常进行。假设车牌倾斜没有矫正。那么水平投影和垂直投影，甚至铆钉都无法正常处理。所以。当车辆信息中获取车牌的第一步，应该是检查倾斜角度，做倾斜矫正。

倾斜矫正，这里使用的算法：

1、倾斜角度检測： 霍夫变换

关于hough变换，能够參考前面图像处理博文：

http://blog.csdn.net/liujia2100/article/details/6989693   直线检測

http://blog.csdn.net/liujia2100/article/details/6989688   文本图像倾斜矫正

2、倾斜矫正： 图像旋转

以下具体说明倾斜矫正过程：

原车牌图像为（从车牌图像中，能够看到车牌有倾斜角度）：

1、 获取车牌在车辆中的粗略位置（能够用多种方法，这里暂不分析）

2、提取车牌总体图片数据。 依据第一步结果。提取出。车牌在辆大体位置信息。

关于车牌定位，我使用两部。第一步粗略定位，然后做一些预处理。比方倾斜矫正，然后第二部才是精确定位，仅仅提取车牌的位置信息图像

3、利用HSV颜色空间转换，获取车牌背景蓝色区域位置，获取车牌粗略信息图像后，因为车牌背景颜色与周围颜色有非常明显的差别。这里採用HSV颜色过滤的方法，过滤绿色背景图像

4、水平膨胀。 水平膨胀的目的。是为了边缘检測，仅仅要求检測边缘，尽量除去字符信息，也能够减少hough变换的运算量

5、水平差分运算，相当于 边缘检測。经过上面的处理后。才进行边缘检測

6、这个时候就能够利用hough变换检測直线了。

因为hough变换运算量十分大。所以。尽量降低图像中的白点，来降低计算量，因此前面才做了这么多步骤。

请看下图的红线，就是检測出来的角度。为177度（Hough代码在以下）。

7、利用旋转算法，旋转刚才粗略提取的车牌位置（旋转代码在以下），虽然旋转后的车牌有些锯齿。可是已经可以保证水平，就行使用水平投影和垂直投影了

这是旋转后的车牌，有些锯齿出现。因为图像分辨率较低。就没实用差值运算。

8、精确提取车牌

9、正常切割字符

10、识别结果

因为正弦余弦运算，计算量比較大，这里进行一部分优化。就是正弦余弦计算用数组取代。

生成正弦。余弦数组的的代码例如以下：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
	char buf[20];
	int i;
	float p;
	float k;
	FILE *fcos;
	FILE *fsin;
	
	fcos = fopen(".\cos.txt", "wb");
	fsin = fopen(".\sin.txt", "wb");
	
	if(fcos == NULL || fsin == NULL)
	{
		printf("open error
");
		exit(-1);
	}


	i = 0;

	for(i = 0; i <= 180; i++)
	{
		k = 3.1415926 * i / 180.0;
		p = cos(k);
		
				
		if((i%16 == 0))
			fwrite("
",strlen("
"),1,fcos);
		
		sprintf(buf,"%f, ", p);
		fwrite(buf,strlen(buf),1,fcos);

	}

	for(i = 0; i <= 180; i++)
	{
		k = 3.1415926 * i / 180.0;
		p = sin(k);
		
				
		if((i%16 == 0))
			fwrite("
",strlen("
"),1,fsin);
		
		sprintf(buf,"%f, ", p);
		fwrite(buf,strlen(buf),1,fsin);

	}
	fclose(fcos);
	fclose(fsin);
	return 0;
}

生成数组为：

float carCos[] = {
1.000000, 0.999848, 0.999391, 0.998630, 0.997564, 0.996195, 0.994522, 0.992546, 0.990268, 0.987688, 0.984808, 0.981627, 0.978148, 0.974370, 0.970296, 0.965926,
