In order to reduce the impact of shooting angle, distance and motion blur on vehicle number localization, and improve the accuracy of the localization in complex environments, a new vehicle number localization method based on edge-enhanced maximally stable extremal region (MSER) is proposed. This method first performs edge enhancement on the vehicle number image and extracts the character candidate region in the edge-enhanced image by using MSER. Then, the candidate region is filtered according to the vehicle number character features using the heuristic rule and the stroke width rule, and the remaining candidate regions are merged. The final step is completed by combining the geometric features of the vehicle number. The experimental results show that the comprehensive localization accuracy of this method is as high as 98.50%. High accuracy and robustness can be achieved by using this method in vehicle number localization with images acquired in complicated scenes with various shooting distances and angles.
