Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method for vehicle plate detection using depth information which is not influenced by illumination. The 3D camera coordinates of pixels in each block are obtained by using the depth information. Factors of the plane in the block are calculated by 3D coordinates of pixels. After that, the plane similarity between adjacent blocks is calculated by comparing between factors of planes. The adjacent blocks are grouped if the plane similarity is high so that the plane areas are detected. The actual height and width of the plane area are calculated by using depth information and compared with the vehicle plate in order to detect the vehicle plate.
