Abstract

In this paper, an automatic container code recognition method is presented by using compressed sensing (CS). First, the compressed sensing approach which uses the constrained L1 minimization method is reviewed. Then, a general pattern recognition framework based on CS theory is described. Next, the CS recognition method is applied to construct an automatic container code recognition system. Finally, the real-life images provided by trading port of Kaohsiung are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.
