License plate detection in low visibility based on GYOLOv5-SPD algorithm
Automatic license plate detection technology is an important element in building smart cities and strengthening traffic management.At present,license plate detection technology is gradually improving,but it is still at a relatively backward level facing license plate photos taken in extremely low visibility conditions such as low light conditions and rainy or snowy weather.This paper fused the YOLOv5s model with Gamma transform with space-to-depth(SPD)-layer followed by a non-strided convolution(Conv)for license plate detection based on license plate photos taken in extremely low visibility in the Chinese City Parking Dataset(CCPD)and treated license plates in low visibility conditions as small objects for detection,so as to identify their features to maximize accuracy.The experimental results show that the method used in this paper achieves a recall rate of 99.68%in the license plate location detection phase,and the location detection of license plates in low visibility conditions does have some advantages over other algorithms.
