Abstract

In this paper, the recognition of freight train's text information is studied. The text has the characteristics of discontinuous strokes, large interval between strokes and serious corrosion by environmental factors in this application scenario. The traditional template matching or geometric feature extraction cannot achieve a good recognition effect. Instead, the convolutional neural network (CNN) which is trained by a large number of image samples obtained by previous image segmentation is selected for recognition. The image segmentation processing use the Suzuki algorithm for the original image contour extraction to determine the text area. The result of contour extraction is projected horizontally using the edge information of the text area. The traversal template that combines with fixed aspect ratio of the text segmented the text image to a single text image.
