Not identify the area of the plate, which is the problem

[walterog19]

Hi I try to include the image but does not identify the area of the plate.

Hello,

in situations like these, the report generator can often help. You can run it from the executable jar
java -jar javaanpr.jar -recognize -i path_to_your_image.jpg -o report_directory/ or mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="-recognize -i path_to_your_image.jpg -o report_directory/".

From the report

we can see that it (incorrectly) fixates on the brake lights, instead of on the plate in such a sunny and bright image. One solution is to crop them out (see image on the right). JavaANPR then detects the plate "TSZ452" with a correct syntax.xml setting, which is almost correct.

As to what you can do about it generally (without cropping) - you could try some pre-processing, for example lessening the brightness, normalizing the picture, etc... For example, using a threshold filter for brightness 250-255, I got the correct result: (not saying this is what you want to do in general, it depends on the camera, lighning, ...)

Also, I think the plate in the second image is just too small for detection.

Hi Oskoper thanks for you answer , I try to include for lessening the brightness this code:

RescaleOp rescaleOp = new RescaleOp(1.2f, 15, null);
rescaleOp.filter( this.image, this.image);

And this fine is much better.
I probe other picture and the I identify by T and 9 for 2, i think this is for alphabets how train the neural red with other alphabet ?
Or this is because bad config the sintax.xml
I config this :








3 char and 3 number this is correct?

Thanks.

3 chars and 3 numbers seems ok, although there is no config in your comment.

As to the OCR not working, yes, you probably will have to train a new alphabet, because the current one (in src/main/resources/alphabets) is quite different (notably the 'I' and '9' characters).

Hi
the config in the sintaxis.xml is:

How to train the a new alphabet ? I need replace the picture in .\resources\alphabets\alphabet_10x16_bw\i_10x16_bw.jpg ?

[walterog19]

config sintaxis.xml is:

Take a look at the bachelor thesis of the original author:
http://javaanpr.sourceforge.net/anpr.pdf

It should be enough to put them in a similar directory and normalize them
via -newalphabet.
See the -help flag.

Best regards,
