A license plate recognition system includes an image capturing module, a license plate detection module, a segment extraction module, a character classification module, and a character recognition module. The image capturing module is for capturing an image. The license plate detection module is for receiving the image and to identify a license plate in the image. The segment extraction module is for extracting a sequence of character segments on the license plate. The character classification module is for computing a probability of each possible character in each character segment. The character recognition module is for identifying permissible characters for the each character segment according to a syntax of the sequence of character segments, and to identify a character having a highest probability among the permissible characters as a selected character for the each character segment.

System and method for license plate recognition

An object localization system including an object detection module configured to detect an object in a current frame with reference to a preceded frame, and an object localization module configured to identify a location of the object according to the segment. The object detection module includes a difference module for computing differences between the preceded frame and the current frame at a same location to generate a difference frame, a selected block detection module for identifying a selected block of the difference frame according to a predetermined minimum difference, a segment generation module for generating a segment of the current frame.

Image processing device, video subsystem and video pipeline

The present disclosure discloses an image frame processing method for processing a plurality of input image frames with an image processing device. An embodiment of the method comprises: receiving a plurality of input image frames; and processing the plurality of input image frames to produce a first number of first output image frames and a second number of second output image frames, in which the resolution of the first output image frames is higher than the resolution of the second output image frames and the first number is less than the second number, wherein a first frame of the first output image frames and a second frame of the second output image frames are derived from the same one of the plurality of input image frames.

Image frame processing method

A method and apparatus to produce high-level synthesis Register Transfer Level designs utilises a trade-off between power dissipation and area usage in data path allocation. Power dissipation and area constraints and a priority between them are input. An algorithm automatically decides the number of registers that are to be used, according to the specified priority and constraints specified. Power management formulations can be used to gear the allocation process to trade lower power management costs for equivalent savings in register areas. Multi-criteria optimisation Integer Linear Programming is utilised with heuristically determined power and area weightings to suit different predefined requirements of the chip design. Bipartite weighted Assignment is used to determine the number of registers to be used at every stage, through cost formulations and the Hungarian Algorithm.
