With the development of IT and digital camera technology, diverse applications of image processing services are becoming available. In this paper, in order to ultimately automate parking management system, we designed and implemented a system for recognizing vehicle license plates that show vehicles' unique numbers by using EmguCV which shows optimized performance on Intel-based environment. We also implemented UI for administrators to easily manage the entire system by utilizing.

신호단어는 잠재적 위험을 빠르게 알리는 데에 주로 사용하는데, 위험, 경고, 주의, 지시등의 용어가 여기에 해당된다. 각각의 단어는 위험의 성질, 따르지 않았을 때의 결과, 또 필요로 되는 행위를 포함하고 있다. 이러한 이유 때문에 이미 교통안전분야에 도로표지판의 정보전달이나, 자동차 번호판의 개선에 대하여 연구를 계속하여 오고 있으나, 산업안전분야에의 적용은 아직 미흡한 수준에 머물러 있다. (중략)

Currently the IoT (Internet of Things) environments and related technologies are being developed rapidly through the networks for connecting many intelligent objects. The IoT is providing artificial intelligent services combined with context recognition based knowledge and communication methods between human and objects and objects to objects. With the help of IoT technology, many research works are being developed using the C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport System) which uses road infrastructure and traveling vehicles as traffic control infrastructures and resources for improving and increasing driver's convenience and safety through two way communication such as bus-only lane and license plate recognition and road accidents, works ahead reports, which are eventually for advancing traffic effectiveness. In this paper, a system for deciding whether the traveling vehicle is possible or not to drive on bus-only lane in highway is researched using the lane and number plate recognition on the road in C-ITS traffic infrastructure environments. The number plates of vehicles on the straight ahead and sides are identified after the location of bus-only lane is discovered through the lane recognition method. Research results and experimental outcomes are presented which are supposed to be used by traffic management infrastructure and controlling system in future.

본 논문에서는 라즈베리파이(Raspberry Pi)와 실시간 객체 감지 기술인 YOLO를 이용한 전기차충전기앞불법주차 경고 영상인식 시스템을 제안한다. 최근 전기 자동차의 사용과 더불어 충전 인프라는 점점 늘어나는 중이지만, 여전히 전기차 충전기는 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 전국 1,000여 곳이 넘는 전기차 충전소에 대해 법령으로 인한 규제를 시행 중임에도 불구하고 불법주차를 하는 일반차 오너들은 여전히 많다. 이로 인해 전기차 오너들은 충전에 많은 불편함이 있다. 이 시스템은 전기 자동차의 번호판을 인식하여 실시간 객체 감지 딥러닝 기법인 YOLO를 이용해 전기 자동차의 번호판에 특정 부분을 인식하고 특정 부분이 없는 일반 자동차가 전기차 충전기 앞 불법 주차를 하게 되면 부저와 LED경고를 통해 주차된 일반 차량에게 경고를 하여, 불법 주차자와 더불어 주변을 지나가는 행인들에게도 전기차 앞 불법 주차에 대해 각인을 시켜줄 수 있는 시스템이다.

Recently, the modular learning are very popular and receive much attention for pattern classification. The modular learning method based on the "divide and conquer" strategy can not only solve the complex problems, but also reach a better result than a single classifier′s on the learning quality and speed. In the neural network area, some researches that take the modular learning approach also have been made to improve classification performance. In this paper, we propose a simple modular neural network for characters recognition of vehicle number plate and evaluate its performance on the clustering methods of feature vectors used in constructing subnetworks. We implement two clustering method, one is grouping similar feature vectors by K-means clustering algorithm, the other grouping unsimilar feature vectors by our proposed algorithm. The experiment result shows that our algorithm achieves much better performance.

차량의 블랙박스와 CCTV, 드론 등 다양한 채널에서 촬영된 영상의 증가로, 차량 및 교통 상황과 관련된 데이터의 양 또한 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 데이터들의 고속 처리를 위해, 실시간 메시지 분산처리 시스템인 아파치 카프카를 활용하여 블랙박스 영상의 프레임을 여러 노드에 분배하였다. 또한, 각각의 노드에 들어온 블랙박스 영상의 프레임을 입력으로 하여, 영상처리 기법을 통한 차량 번호판의 지역화와 문자 분할 및 이를 인식하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method to solve a problem in binarizing the rear number plate image captured by a camera on a moving vehicle. An image may be shadowed by the cavernous structure of the rear side of a moving vehicle and it makes us hard to get a high quality of binary image. Therefore, we first detect a shadow edge and then divide an image into the shadow part and non-shadow part by the edge. Finally, the binary image is obtained by binarizing each part and merging them In this paper, we do comparative work on a group of binarization methods including our method, the method suggested by Zheng, the method using block binarization, and the method using labeling. The result shows that our method achieves better performance than others in most cases.

In this paper we propose an algorithm to extract the license plate regions from Korean car images. The idea of this paper is that we first find the four digits in the input car image and then segment the plate region using the digit information. Out method has advantage of segmenting simultaneously the plate regions and four digits regions. The first step finds and groups the connected components with proper sizes as candidate digits. The second step applies an serial alignment condition to find out probable 4-digits. In the third step, we recognize the candidate digits and assign the confidence values to each of them. The final step extracts the license plate region which has the highest confidence value. We used the Perfect Metrics classification algorithm to estimate the confidence. In our experiment, we got 97.23% and 95.45% correct detection rates, 0.09% and 0.11% false detection rates for 4,600 daytime and 264 nighttime images, respectively.

This paper describes a design for RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag antenna using license plate attached the vehicle bumper in 900 MHz band. The proposed tag antenna size which is located on upper center position of a vehicle license plate is 162.5${\times}$40${\times}$1 mm$^3$. A resonant frequency of design antenna and the bandwidth which has return loss of -10 dB below are 900 MHz and about 720 MHz(640${\sim}$1,360 MHz), respectively. The commercial chip impedance considered on design was 16- j131 ${\Omega}$ and the complex conjugate impedance of chip was used as input impedance of tag antenna. The measured return loss and radiation pattern were agreed well with the calculated results. The measured readable range of the proposed tag antenna designed on only the vehicle license plate was 11.5 m. Moreover, its range of the fabricated tag antenna that the license plate and the vehicle bumper were fixed by volt and nut was observed 10.4 m. These measured readable range showed about 5 m above far distance more than the average readable range of commercial tag antenna.

This paper introduce UHF miniaturized RFID tag antenna which is embedded on the seal-bolt or plastic bolt for automobile plate. To detect the illegal and un-registered car, the illegal automobile detection system has been developed using the seal-bolt UHF RIF tag antenna. The diameter of seal-bolt UHF tag is about 24mm, almost the same size as 100 Won coin. The simulated and measured reflection coefficient are compared, and the reading range patten is also measured. If seal-bolt tag is embedded on car plate, police can get information of automobile and detect illegal vehicles easily with the illegal automobile detection system.
