Alternative Feature Extraction Approaches for Car Plate Recognition;
(2005) Duman,Ş.; Öktem,R.; Çetin,A.E.
License plate detection is an important problem for surveillance systems and traffic applications. This work primarily focuses on feature extraction approaches for extracting candidate car plate regions. For this purpose, we start with restricting our feature extraction regions by use of a hierarchical edge detection method. Edge detection is based on discrete wavelet transform. Performances of Haar and Daubechies filters are compared on that basis. Three different methods are proposed for feature extraction: histogram feature, horizontal profiling on the edge map, and segment features followed by segmentation. The performance of each algorithm is presented by use of tests on ATS images. © 2005 IEEE.

Bar code localization by image processing;
(2005) Öktem,R.; Çetin,A.E.
This paper addresses the problem of bar code recognition by use of image processing. Bar codes are composed of parallel alternating dark-light stripes; hence they also appear as parallel lines connected at some orientation in a binary edge map. The proposed algorithms exploit that feature and use morphology and free angle thresholding for localization. Edge map is formed by Sobel operator and binary subband decomposition separately, and the two methods are compared in terms of time complexity and performance. Detailed discussion of test results are also presented. ©2005 IEEE.
