    A haar classifier based call number detection and counting method for library books
    (IEEE, 2018-12-06) Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Tek, Faik Boray
    Counting and organization of books in libraries is a routine and time-consuming task The task gets more complicated by misplaced books in shelves. In order to solve these problems, we propose an automated visual call number (book-id) detection and counting system in this paper. The method employs a Haar feature-based classifier from OpenCV library and cloud-based OCR system to decode characters from images. To develop and test the method, we have acquired and organized a dataset of 1000 book call numbers. The proposed method has been tested on 20 bookshelves images that contain 233 call numbers, which resulted in a true detection rate of 96% and false detection rate of 1.75 per image. For OCR step, the number of false recognized characters per call number was 0.76.

    A character segmentation method to increase character recognition accuracy for Turkish license plates

    Automatic License Plate Recognition is a computer vision technology that provides a way to recognize the vehicle's license plates without direct human intervention. Developing Automatic License Plate Recognition methodologies is a widely studied topic among the computer vision community to increase the accuracy rates. Automatic License Plate Recognition systems include image acquisition and character segmentation phases. Although there are many studies, the research in character segmentation and improving recognition accuracy remains limited. The lack of an international standard for license plates and the misinterpretation of ambiguous characters are challenging problems for Automatic License Plate Recognition systems. Several academic works have shown that the ambiguous character problem can be overcome by using a second model that contains only these characters. In this study, we propose a new methodology to reduce the character recognition errors of Automatic License Plate Recognition systems. One of the reasons for the low accuracy rates is the problem of ambiguous characters. In most studies using OCR, it was observed that a single model was used for alphanumeric characters during the recognition phase. Instead of using a single model, using separate models for letters and digits will improve the recognition process and increase accuracy. Therefore, we determined whether the characters are letters or numbers, and we expressed the license plates in the form of letters - digits. The method suggested for segmenting blobs worked with an accuracy of 96.12% on the test dataset. The method recommended for generating letter-digit expressions for the license plates worked with an accuracy of 99.28% on the test dataset. The proposed methodology can work only on Turkish license plates. In future studies, we will expand our method by using the license plate dataset of a different country.
