Presents an algorithm for image segmentation with irregular pyramids. Instead of starting with the original pixel grid, the authors first apply an adaptive Voronoi tessellation to the image. For irregular pyramid construction the authors present a Hopfield neural network which controls the decimation process. The validity of the authors' approach is demonstrated by several examples in image segmentation.

The license plate location technique is an important imageprocessing step in license plate recognition system. Vehicle license plates are distinguished from backgrounds using features proposed in existing literatures. However, the effect of location is quite affected by feature selection. In this paper, we propose a method of precise license plate location fusing salient features. The method is mainly divided into three steps. First, candidate license plate regions are detected using improved Harris corner feature with much less time than traditional method. Then, candidates are sifted to only retain license plates based on two salient features named color combination and mean difference which are first proposed in this paper. Finally, the license plates are located precisely according to the projection feature. In experiment, the proposed algorithm was tested with 1942 real images captured in different environment and the license plates are successfully located as 97.6% in average with only 109ms. The experiment results demonstrates the effectiveness and efficient of our algorithm.
