Abstract

Vehicle text marks are unique features which are usefulfor identifying vehicles in video surveillance applications.We propose a method for finding such text marks. An existingtext detection algorithm is modified such that detectionis increased and made more robust to outdoor conditions.False alarm is reduced by introducing a binary image testwhich remove detections that are not likely to be caused bytext. The method is tested on a captured video of a typicalstreet scene.
