Abstract
This paper presents a new method of license plate location under complex background. The texture direction map was obtained by gradient direction field and the calculation of the original image. License plate candidate area is determined using the method of interval judgment edge information through texture direction and binary image. Finally, the plates are accurately positioned using the improved regional notation. This experiments results demonstrate the great robustness and efficiency of our method.
