Study on the Impact of the Degradation Method on the Generalization of Super-Resolution Models for ALPR
摘要
Given the complexity of variations in CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) scenarios and equipment, it is essential to adopt advanced image enhancement methods in Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR). This study investigated the impact of two distinct image degradation methods during the synthesis of low-resolution images for constructing paired datasets, used in training models based on the Real-ESRGAN super-resolution architecture. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in generalization, both in the quality of the generated images and in the correct recognition rate of license plate characters. Training datasets created using a more robust degradation method, composed of multiple degradation stages, exhibited superior performance.
