A New Method and Implementation of Blind Restoration Algorithm for Moving Fuzzy License Plate Image Based on Frequency-Domain Characteristics

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of blurred license plate image in road monitoring, the PSF estimation method based on spectrum is often used to restore the blurred license plate image. Due to the large error of motion blur information estimation, a blind license plate restoration algorithm based on image spectrum and cepstrum is proposed in this paper. First, Radon transform is used to detect the parallel line features in the spectrum of fuzzy license plate image to estimate the fuzzy angle. Then, the cepstrum data of the blurred image is used to measure the peak value and estimate the fuzzy length of the image. Finally, blind restoration of fuzzy license plate image is carried out by Wiener filter of autocorrelation function. The experimental results show that the PSF estimation result of this algorithm is more accurate, and it can achieve better restoration effect of fuzzy image for license plate images under different fuzzy conditions. It is verified that the blind restoration algorithm based on fusion of image spectrum and cepstrum has certain feasibility and adaptability.
