Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for digit separation, and relate to the technical field of information recognition. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a sliding template matching method is not required. Instead, in one illustrative implementation, a station logo area and position information of the station logo area are obtained; position information of a digit area is determined according to a position relation between the station logo area and the digit area, and the position information of the station logo area; and the station logo area is then segmented according to the position information of the digit area to obtain the digit area. In such a manner, digit separation can be realized simply, and the efficiency of separation is improved.

Claims

1. A method for digit separation, comprising:

obtaining a station logo area and position information of the station logo area;

determining position information of a digit area according to a position relation between the station logo area and the digit area, and the position information of the station logo area; and

segmenting the station logo area according to the position information of the digit area to obtain the digit area.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the station logo area is a gray image comprising CCTV station logo that contains a logo, characters, and a digit.

3. The method according to claim 2, before determining the position information of the digit area according to the position relation between the station logo area and the digit area, and the position information of the station logo area, further comprising:

performing noise and/or character removal processing on the station logo area.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step of obtaining the station logo area further comprises:

obtaining a video frame image sequence from a preset area of a video comprising the CCTV station logo, performing edge extraction on various video frame images, compositing edges of the various video frame images, obtaining a minimum external matrix of a composited edge, separately segmenting the various video frame images according to the minimum external matrix, and compositing the segmented images in a weighted average way to obtain the station logo area.

5. The method according to claim 1, after segmenting the station logo area according to the position information of the digit area to obtain the digit area, further comprising:

performing binarization processing on a digit portion and a background portion in the digit area, and deleting interference information from the binarized digit area.

12. The method according to claim 1, before determining the position information of the digit area according to the position relation between the station logo area and the digit area, and the position information of the station logo area, further comprising:

performing noise and/or character removal processing on the station logo area.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining the station logo area further comprises:

obtaining a video frame image sequence from a preset area of a video comprising the CCTV station logo, performing edge extraction on various video frame images, compositing edges of the various video frame images, obtaining a minimum external matrix of a composited edge, separately segmenting the various video frame images according to the minimum external matrix, and compositing the segmented images in a weighted average way to obtain the station logo area.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the station logo area is a gray image comprising a station logo that contains a logo, characters, and a digit.

15. The method according to claim 14, before determining the position information of the digit area according to the position relation between the station logo area and the digit area, and the position information of the station logo area, further comprising:

performing noise and/or character removal processing on the station logo area.

16. The method according to claim 14, wherein the step of obtaining the station logo area further comprises:

obtaining a video frame image sequence from a preset area of a video comprising the CCTV station logo, performing edge extraction on various video frame images, compositing edges of the various video frame images, obtaining a minimum external matrix of a composited edge, separately segmenting the various video frame images according to the minimum external matrix, and compositing the segmented images in a weighted average way to obtain the station logo area.

17. The method according to claim 14, after segmenting the station logo area according to the position information of the digit area to obtain the digit area, further comprising:

performing binarization processing on a digit portion and a background portion in the digit area, and deleting interference information from the binarized digit area.

18. The method according to claim 17, before determining the position information of the digit area according to the position relation between the station logo area and the digit area, and the position information of the station logo area, further comprising:

performing noise and/or character removal processing on the station logo area.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the step of obtaining the station logo area further comprises:

obtaining a video frame image sequence from a preset area of a video comprising the CCTV station logo, performing edge extraction on various video frame images, compositing edges of the various video frame images, obtaining a minimum external matrix of a composited edge, separately segmenting the various video frame images according to the minimum external matrix, and compositing the segmented images in a weighted average way to obtain the station logo area.

20. The method according to claim 19, further comprising:

performing noise and character removal processing on the station logo area.

6. A device for digit separation, comprising:

one or more processors;
