Text detection method add, speed improvement
Pre-release
Pre-release
- Add a new plate detection method based on text detection (MSER), which is robust to low contrast, less light, and large image.
- A new plate detection and recognition evaluation protocol, the detection protocol is similar as ICDAR 2003 evaluation protocol. 50 new images are added to test set.
- Non-maximum suppression method used to remove near plates, which results in a reason output of the results. only one images will be output when two methods detect plate in one area.
- Spatial-ostu and adaptive threshold plus small sliding window search method used to improve the character segmentation and recognition accuracy.
- New SVM model and features (use LBP as it). New ANN model which trained only for Chinese, improve the Chinese recognition accuracy.
- Add grid search method to fine tuning the parameters.
- Support for OpenMP, the speed using multi thread could be 2 times faster than single thread.
- Remove some Chinese to improvement the compatible of the final code in visual studio.
many other improvements and changes, could be found in source code......
