Low-resolution Chinese character recognition of license plate is always a difficult problem. For solving it, we must think about the distinctiveness of character feature and the counting speed of method simultaneously. In this paper, we proposed a simple and effective feature extraction algorithm. First, extract the statistical feature of Chinese character based on decomposing stroke with wavelet transform. Second, apply Elastic Mesh Algorithm into extracting wavelet coefficient of decomposing stroke to get the structure information of Chinese character. The experimental results show the method is robust against low quality Chinese characters, such as skew, fuzzy, glue, distorted character, and easy to be used in actual projects with simple advantage.

This paper presents a method of license plate Chinese character recognition based on image quality for improving the recognition rate of low-resolution characters in license plates. Each subset of license plate Chinese character images with the same fuzzy degree are used to construct a corresponding PCA subspace, then the projection residuals distance between the Chinese character to be recognized and each subspace in the specific subspaces which are selected by character’s fuzzy degree is calculated. The class which corresponds to the subspace with the minimum distance is the recognition result. The experimental results show that the proposed method has higher recognition rate and faster recognition speed comparing to other ones.

The intelligent recognition tool for bronze inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties—the “Shang Zhou Bronze Inscriptions Intelligent Mirror”—was successfully invented in Shanghai. This mirror, based on the computer technology of artificial intelligence (AI) image recognition and image retrieval, succeeds in automagical recognition of bronze inscriptions, both single letters and full texts. This research leads the trend of the AI recognition of Ancient Chinese characters and accumulates valuable experience for the development of inter-disciplinary research on Chinese character recognition. This essay emphasizes the importance of the bronze inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasty database in the AI recognition of bronze inscriptions, introduces the functional components of this tool, and shares the whole research process in order to offer experience for the related research on AI recognition of other types of Ancient Chinese characters as well as ideographs in the world scope. “Shang Zhou Bronze Inscriptions Intelligent Mirror” as a tool for bronze inscription recognition also has room for improvement and support, and guidance from experts in similar areas is greatly welcomed.
