Sumario:This paper implements the Support Vector Machine (SVM) training procedure proposed by John Platt denominated Sequential Minimimal Optimization (SMO). The application of this system involves a multi-style license plate characters recognition identifying numbers from “0” to “9”. In order to be robust against license plates with different character/background colors, the characters (numbers) visual information is encoded using Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG). A reliability measure to validate the system outputs is also proposed. Several tests are performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the algorithm to different parameters and kernel functions. © 2018 IPOL and the authors CC-BY-NC-SA.
