SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR THE AUTOMATED VERIFICATION AND QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSURANCE OF VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION PLATES
First Claim
1. A method for verifying information imprinted on a plate, the method comprising:
- capturing image data, wherein the image data includes a plate region that corresponds to the plate;
generating a first binary image based on the plate region;
partitioning at least a portion of the first binary image into at least one sub-portion;
determining at least one contour associated with the sub-portion of the first binary image;
associating a matching template to the contour based on a comparison of the contour to a plurality of candidate templates; and
determining at least a portion of the information imprinted on the plate based on the associated matching template.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards systems, methods and devices for the automated verification, quality control and/or quality assurance of vehicle identification plates. Such verification and quality control/assurance of vehicle identification plates may include verifying information imprinted on a plate. In at least one embodiment, a method for verifying information imprinted on a plate includes capturing image data. The image data includes a plate region that corresponds to the plate. The method may also include generating a binary image based on the plate region and partitioning a portion of the first binary image into a sub-portion. A contour associated with the sub-portion is determined. The method also includes associating a matching template to the contour based on a comparison of the contour to a plurality of candidate templates and determining a portion of the information imprinted on the plate based on the associated matching template.
