 ABSTRACT

The development of machine learning for decades, there are still many
problems unsolved, such as image recognition and location detection, image
classification, image generation, speech recognition, natural language
processing and so on. In the field of deep learning research, the research on
image classification has always been the most basic, traditional and urgent
research direction. At the same time, computer intelligent image recognition
technology is also conducive to gradually better respond to the development
of international indicators, and promote the development and progress of
various fields. Therefore, image processing technology based on machine
learning has been widely used in feature image, classification, segmentation
and recognition, and is a hot spot in various fields. However, due to the
complexity of video images and the distribution of objects in different
application backgrounds, the classification accuracy becomes important and
difficult. In the paper transportation industry, image recognition technology
is applied to license plate recognition to extract license plate from complex
background, segment license plate characters and recognize characters, and
construct a machine learning non license plate automatic generation
algorithm, which may improve the efficiency of non license plate
recognition. The diversity and high generation speed of license plate training
sample set can achieve the purpose of effectively training strong classifier.
By using genetic algorithm to optimize BP neural network to classify license
plate information, the anti-interference ability and license plate recognition
accuracy are improved to a certain extent

 1.INTRODUCTION
Machine Learning (ML, Machine Learning) is a fundamental and critical
issue in the field of image processing ,especially in the field of massive
image processing, machine learning methods can be from complex data .
The main features of the image are separated , so that image recognition can
be reasonably applied in various industries and fields. Image processing
technology based on machine learning has been widely used in image
classification, segmentation, and recognition . It is a hotspot of research and
research in various fields. However, due to the complexity of image
distribution and different application backgrounds, the improvement of
image classification has become the focus and difficulty.
Therefore, how to improve the classification method to
improve the classification accuracy and classification effect of the image of
the ground object is a very meaningful and difficult research topic. With the
development of machine learning and the introduction and improvement of
various machine learning algorithms, machine learning is of great
significance to various application fields in human life. Especially with the
rapid development of modern technology and the application of video
images in various fields of life, machine learning is particularly important
for the processing of video images. At present, various machine learning
algorithms have been maturely applied to signal processing in engineering,
but in video image processing, there is still a broad application space. The
application of machine learning to target image classification technology is related
to the development of various industries in China. Therefore, the application of
machine learning in target image classification has become a very important research
topic
Computer image recognition technology is actually the
abbreviation of computer image processing and recognition technology, also
known as infrared technology. The core of this technology is computers and
information. These two technologies are the most developed in the world.
The former is the real carrier of technology. It undertakes the analysis and
processing of the image, and then carries on the different localization
correctly. The object of the information. Infrared technology can be said to

4
be the product of social development and the progress of the times . The
image is input into the neural network, and the loss function is minimized
by using the forward propagation and backpropagation error algorithms of
deep learning. After the weight is updated, a better recognition type is
obtained. Then, the trained model is used to predict the new image. The flow
chart is shown in Figure 1.2. General pattern recognition system includes
three important parts: image preprocessing, feature extraction and classifier.
In traditional image recognition algorithm, they are separated from each
other. In the framework of convolutional neural network, convolution is
used to extract features directly, and then the classification results are fed
back to the classifier, and the model is jointly optimized by batch gradient
descent. The process of computer preprocessing is mainly to separate the
image area and background area in the image to be recognized, refine the
image, enhance the image binarization, and improve the speed and
efficiency of computer intelligent image recognition post-processing. In
order to restore the authenticity of the image and reduce the false features of
the image as much as possible, the unique features of the image can be
expressed in numerical form. With the development and progress of
technology, digital image is gradually used in the field of image recognition.
The advantages of digital processing technology provide the basis for the
further development of image recognition. In these two development stages,
infrared technology explored a series of successful methods through the
research and application of artificial intelligence , and finally realized the
effective identification of information. Since then, this technology has been
widely used. Image recognition is widely used in traffic field. In traffic
construction, image recognition technology is mainly used in intelligent
transportation system . Vehicle information detection has greatly promoted
the development of transportation modernization. Vehicle detection is an
important part of the effective operation of the traffic monitoring system,
but if you want to better identify and track the vehicles in the traffic network,
you need to correctly segment the vehicle and obtain the target area . The
same is true for license plate recognition. This method can be carried out
well by image recognition technology. This paper identifies the license plate

5
based on the machine learning method, and classifies the sample using BP
neural network trained by genetic algorithm . Compared with the genetic
algorithm under different fitness, the solution with higher accuracy is
obtained.

 2. PROJECT ANALYSIS

2.1 Existing System

Image recognition technology based on machine learning typically involves

the use of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNNs), to analyze and interpret visual data. Here's an overview of the
existing system for image recognition based on machine learning:

Data Collection and Preprocessing:

Large datasets of labeled images are collected for training the machine
learning models.
Data preprocessing techniques such as normalization, resizing, and
augmentation are applied to ensure that the data is in a suitable format for
training.

Model Training:
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly used for image
recognition tasks due to their ability to automatically learn hierarchical
representations of visual data.
Transfer learning is often employed, where pre-trained CNN models (e.g.,
VGG, ResNet, Inception) are fine-tuned on the specific dataset to improve
performance and reduce training time.

Model Evaluation:
The trained model is evaluated on a separate validation dataset to assess its
performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
Techniques like k-fold cross-validation may be used to ensure robustness of
the model's performance.

7
Deployment:
Once the model meets the desired performance criteria, it is deployed into
production environments where it can perform real-time image recognition
tasks.
Deployment may involve integrating the model into applications, APIs, or
other systems where image recognition functionality is required.

Inference:
During inference, the deployed model takes input images and performs
predictions or classifications based on what it has learned during training.
Depending on the application, the model may need to process images in real-
time or in batch mode.

Feedback Loop and Model Improvement:

Continuous monitoring of the model's performance in real-world scenarios
allows for feedback that can be used to improve the model.
Techniques like retraining with updated datasets, adjusting
hyperparameters, or even updating the model architecture may be employed
to enhance performance over time.

Integration with Other Systems:

Image recognition systems based on machine learning are often integrated
with other systems such as robotics, security systems, medical imaging
systems, autonomous vehicles, and more, to provide intelligent visual
perception capabilities.
Overall, the existing system for image recognition based on machine
learning involves a pipeline of data collection, preprocessing, model
training, evaluation, deployment, inference, continuous improvement, and
integration with various applications and systems. This technology has a
wide range of applications across different industries and continues to
evolve with advancements in deep learning and computer vision research.

2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM

A. MACHINE LEARNNG

Machine Learning (ML) is a multidisciplinary subject involving many

disciplines such as probability theory, statistics, approximation theory,
convex analysis, and algorithm complexity theory. Specializing in how
computers simulate or implement human learning behaviors to acquire new
knowledge or skills and reorganize existing knowledge structures to
continuously improve their performance. It is the core of artificial
intelligence, and it is the fundamental way to make computers intelligent .
Its application spans all fields of artificial intelligence. It mainly uses
induction, synthesis rather than deduction. Simply put, machine learning is
a process of extracting useful information from unordered data. It spans
multiple disciplines such as computer science, engineering, and statistics
and requires multidisciplinary knowledge. In the Internet age, people create
and collect a large amount of data. How to extract valuable information from
these data is a topic worth studying. Now is also the era of “data is king”,
companies are crazy to collect user data, personal information, usage habits,
search records, watch records and even email content... hope to find user
preferences and tap users’ needs . Who has the data, who has the next
opportunity. However, it is not enough to have such data. The massive data
has exceeded the feasibility of direct calculation. To extract information
efficiently from it, a special learning algorithm is needed. This is the role of
machine learning. The “machine learning period” is also divided into three
stages. In the 1980s, connectionism was more popular, representing work
with Perceptron and Neural Network. In the 1990s, statistical learning
methods began to occupy the mainstream stage. The representative methods
were Support Vector Machine. In the 21st century, deep neural networks
were proposed. Connectionism has never been seen, with the increasing
amount of data and computing power. Many AI applications based on Deep
Learning have matured. Machine learning is a general term for a class of
algorithms that attempt to mine the implicit rules from a large amount of

9
historical data and use them for prediction or classification. More
specifically, machine learning can be seen as looking for a function, and
input is sample data. The output is the desired result, but this function is too
complicated to be formally expressed. It is important to note that the goal of
machine learning is to make the learned functions work well for “new
samples,” not just for training samples. The ability of the learned function
to apply to a new sample is called generalization capability. In terms of
scope, machine learning is similar to pattern recognition, statistical learning,
and data mining . At the same time, the combination of machine learning
and processing techniques in other fields forms an interdisciplinary subject
such as computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language
processing. Therefore, in general, data mining can be equivalent to machine
learning. At the same time, what we usually call machine learning
applications should be universal, not only limited to structured data, but also
to applications such as images and audio. Machine learning is widely used
in many fields. For example, speech recognition is a combination of audio
processing technology and machine learning. Speech recognition
technology is generally not used alone, and generally incorporates related
techniques of natural language processing. The current related applications
are Apple’s voice assistant siri and so on. In image processing techniques,
images are processed into inputs suitable for entry into a machine learning
model, and machine learning is responsible for identifying relevant patterns
from the images. There are many applications related to computer vision,
such as Baidu map, handwritten character recognition, license plate
recognition and so on. This field is very promising and is also a hot research
direction. With the development of deep learning in the new field of
machine learning, the effect of computer image recognition has been greatly
promoted, so the future development of computer vision industry is
immeasurable

10
 B. ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE

In the process of using computer vision algorithm to simulate human image

recognition, researchers have proposed many different image recognition
models. Among them, the image recognition algorithm based on template
matching is the most widely used. Whether the target image features in the
image database are consistent with the target features to be matched is
determined by matching the target image with the predicted image. The
principle of image recognition technology in artificial intelligence is
combined with the algorithm principle of computer processing data, so the
simple image data information extraction and analysis can be combined with
the computer, but in the case of fuzzy image information or large amount of
information in the image, the recognition efficiency is high, and the image
recognition technology may be reduced. Therefore, when analyzing the
principle of image recognition technology, we also need to find a better and
more convenient image recognition technology. Its principle is to change
the image recognition technology, make the principle of image recognition
technology more simple, and achieve better in function and image
processing. The principle of image recognition technology in artificial
intelligence is to use computer to process pictures, and then extract the
information in pictures. Through the analysis and experiment of Chinese
professionals, the technical principle of image processing technology is
obtained. The whole principle is not complicated, that is, the view between
people can be regarded as completing an image recognition technology, and
then the acquired information is analyzed in the brain according to the
impression. The principle of artificial intelligence image recognition
technology is the same as that of computer processing data; therefore,
simple image data information extraction can be performed by computer,
but when the amount of information is large, the recognition rate of image
recognition technology will decrease, and relevant personnel are analyzing
The principle of image recognition technology should look for more
optimized methods for innovation, so as to improve the quality and
efficiency of image processing. The image recognition technology in
artificial intelligence has the advantages of convenience and intelligence.
11
The advantages of the technology directly determine the application quality
and effect of image recognition technology in the development of science
and technology. First of all, from the perspective of intelligence, the most
obvious advantage of artificial intelligence image recognition technology is
intelligence. Compared with traditional image processing technology, it
shows a clear difference. This function can realize intelligent selection and
recognition when processing pictures, such as the face unlocking function
in the mobile phone, which is very similar to the intelligent recognition
function in image processing, that is, the face unlocking can be permanently
used as long as the face unlocking is completed. Intelligentization not only
enables image recognition and other functions, but also enables self-analysis
and preservation. Secondly, from the convenience of graphic recognition
technology, with the application of image recognition technology, it has
created a lot of excellent services for people’s life and work. In this
technology, people do not need to perform complex image processing to
achieve the purpose, such as brushing face punching, brushing face
unlocking, etc., which bring convenience to people’s lives. With the
development of society, image recognition technology has become more
and more popular, and it is more convenient to use. Because the image
recognition technology is implemented based on artificial intelligence, the
image recognition process of the computer is almost the same as the human
brain image recognition process. The biggest difference is that the computer
image recognition is displayed in the form of technology. The specific
artificial intelligence image recognition process is as follows. First,
information data is obtained. Information collection is a prerequisite for
image recognition. It mainly converts various special signals into electrical
signals through sensors, and then obtains the required information and data
from them [35]. However, the information acquired in image recognition
technology belongs to the special data of images. The data must be able to
distinguish the gaps between the graphics. Second, information data is
preprocessed. This stage is mainly to smooth, transform and other images,
in order to highlight the important information of the image itself. Third,
feature extraction and selection. This is the key content of image recognition

12
technology, especially in the recognition mode, the actual operation
requirements are higher, which also directly determines whether the image
can be successfully recognized and whether the extracted features can be
stored. Fourth, classifier design and classification decisions. This is the last
step of image recognition. This part mainly formulates the recognition rules
according to the operation procedure, and recognizes the image according
to the standard instead of the chaotic recognition. The purpose is to improve
the recognition degree of the image processing, thereby improving the
efficiency of image evaluation.

C. IMAGE PREPROCESSING

In the process of image acquisition, it is often subject to various external

conditions and random interference. Such directly acquired images often
contain complex useless backgrounds or redundant data, which interferes
with the further application of images. Therefore, some necessary pre-
processing techniques need to be performed on the original data image.
Commonly used image processing operations include color image grayscale
technology, image enhancement technology, image restoration technology,
image segmentation technology, smoothing and sharpness, and the like [36].
In order to facilitate computer processing, reduce the resources occupied by
the computer, and increase the speed of the operation, the color image is
first grayscaled before digital image processing. Generally, the gray level of
the grayscale image is a gray level, and the brightness can be divided into 0
to 255 levels, 0 is the darkest all black, and 255 is the all white. At present,
the most mature technology application is the RGB color mode. The digital
image represented by the RGB mode has three image components, and the
RGB values of three pixels of each pixel respectively reflect the brightness
values of the three colors at the pixel. The actual color represented by the
pixel is the result of the color superposition of three different brightnesses.
Since there are 256 kinds of values for each color, there are more than 16
million (256*256*256) color variations per pixel. However, after
conversion to a grayscale image, there are only 256 variations of each pixel,

13
so the amount of computation of the computer can be greatly reduced. The
converted grayscale image, like the description of the original color image,
still contains the correlation characteristics of the original image’s
chromaticity and brightness . The purpose of the enhanced technique
operation of the image is to enhance the perceived effect of the image,
making it more suitable for a specific application. Purposefully highlight
certain features of the image, emphasizing the differences between different
images to suit specific situations or special requirements. In a broad sense,
as long as the structural relationship between the parts of the original image
is changed, the purpose is to better the application effect and the judgment
result to meet the specific application requirements. This processing
technique can be called image enhancement processing. technology. The
image enhancement technology can be roughly classified into two
categories, a spatial domain method and a frequency domain method,
according to different positions of objects processed by the enhancement
technique. The spatial domain-based algorithm refers to the gray value of
the original pixel directly processed when the image is based on the image’s
own plane. The frequency domain method is to enhance the image on
another transform domain of the image. Histogram equalization is a
processing method that enhances the operation of digital images based on
probability theory. The histogram, also known as the mass distribution map
and histogram, is a statistical graph based on the report. The histogram of a
digital image is a distribution of the total number of pixels of different gray
values in an image. Through the histogram of an image, we can see the
brightness of the grayscale distribution of the pixel of this image. The
grayscale value of the histogram of the over-dark image is concentrated at
the lower part, the overall over-bright image, its histogram The body of the
graph is distributed at a higher gray value. The method of histogram
equalization is to transform the histogram of the original image by gradation
transformation and to correct the stretching according to a certain rule, and
obtain a new histogram image with stable gray value distribution. According
to the theory of information theory, when the distribution of gray values of
an image is relatively average, the amount of information contained in the

14
image is also large, and the image has a clearer effect from the visual point
of the human eye. Median filtering technology, median filtering can not only
eliminate the pulse interference noise better, but also effectively reduce the
image edge blur while suppressing the pulse interference. It is a nonlinear
signal processing technique based on the theory of sorting statistics that can
effectively suppress noise. It replaces the value of a point in a digital image
or a digital sequence with the median value of each point in a neighborhood
of the point, so that the surrounding pixels are gray. A pixel with a large
difference in degree value is changed to a value close to the surrounding
pixel value, so that an isolated noise point can be eliminated, which is
effective for salt and pepper noise. The advantage of the median filter is that
it has advantages when filtering out superimposed white noise and long tail
superimposed noise, but it is not suitable when there are many details in the
image such as points, lines and apex. The improved algorithm has the right
to median filtering, the switching median filtering algorithm based on the
sorting threshold, and the adaptive median filter

D. IMAGE RECOGNITION

In a broad sense, image technology is a general term for various image-

related technologies. According to the research method and the degree of
abstraction, the image technology can be divided into three levels, which are
divided into: image processing, image analysis and image understanding.
The technology intersects with computer vision, pattern recognition and
computer graphics, and biology. Mathematics, physics, electronics,
computer science and other disciplines learn from each other. In addition,
with the development of computer technology, further research on image
technology is inseparable from theories of neural networks and artificial
intelligence. Image processing includes image compression, image
encoding, image segmentation, etc. The purpose of processing the image is
to determine whether the image has the required information and filter out
the noise, and to determine the information. Common methods include
grayscale, binarization, sharpening, denoising, etc.; image recognition is to

15
match the processed image, and the category name is determined. Image
recognition can be extracted on the basis of segmentation. The features are
filtered, and then these features are extracted and finally identified according
to the measurement results. The so-called image understanding refers to the
description and interpretation of the image based on the classification and
structure analysis based on image processing and image recognition.
Therefore, image understanding includes image processing, image
recognition, and structural analysis. In the image understanding section, the
input is an image and the output is a description of the image. The
development of image recognition has experienced three stages: text
recognition, digital image processing and recognition, and target
recognition. Usually, when a domain has a requirement that can't be solved
by the inherent technology, the corresponding new technology will be
produced. The same is true of image recognition technology. The invention
of this technology is to let the computer instead of human processing a large
number of physical information, and solve the problem of information that
can not be recognized or the recognition rate is very low. Computer image
recognition technology is the process of simulating human body image
recognition. In the process of image recognition, pattern recognition is
essential. Pattern recognition is a basic human intelligence. However, with
the development of computer and the rise of artificial intelligence, human
pattern recognition has been unable to meet the needs of life, so human
beings hope to replace or expand part of human brain labor with computers.
This way the pattern recognition of the computer is created. Simply put,
pattern recognition is the classification of data. It is a science that is closely
integrated with mathematics. Most of the ideas used are probability and
statistics. Pattern recognition is mainly divided into three types: statistical
pattern recognition, syntax pattern recognition, and fuzzy pattern
recognition. Since computer image recognition technology is the same as
human image recognition, their processes are similar. Image recognition
technology is also divided into the following steps: information acquisition,
preprocessing, feature extraction and selection, classifier design and
classification decision. The acquisition of information refers to the

16
conversion of information such as light or sound into electrical information
through sensors. That is to obtain the basic information of the research
object and transform it into information that the machine can recognize by
some means. Preprocessing mainly refers to operations such as de-drying,
smoothing, and transforming in image processing, thereby enhancing
important features of the image. Feature extraction and selection means that
in pattern recognition, feature extraction and selection are required. The
simple understanding is that the images we study are various. If we need to
distinguish them by some method, we must identify them by the
characteristics of these images. The process of acquiring these features is
feature extraction. Features obtained in feature extraction may not be useful
for this recognition. At this time, useful features are extracted, which is the
choice of features. Feature extraction and selection is one of the most critical
techniques in the image recognition process, so the understanding of this
step is the focus of image recognition. On the basis of in-depth learning,
image recognition technology has been able to recognize moving objects.
Its main principle is to process and make decisions on blurred image
information through intelligent module, and then obtain results with high
similarity, and then confirm image information through screening. Classical
image recognition model: LeNet is an earlier CNN model (1994). It has
three convolution layers (C1, C3, C5), two pooling layers (S2, S4) and one
full connection layer (F6). The input image is 32 x 32, and the output image
is the probability of 0 to 90 digits. At that time, the error rate of the network
model was less than 1%. LeNet was arguably the first commercially
valuable CNN model since it was successfully used to identify mail codes.
AlexNet is a milestone in the history of CNN development. Compared with
LeNet network, AlexNet network is not much improved in structure, but has
great advantages in network depth and complexity. AlexNet has the
following meanings. It reveals the powerful learning and expressive ability
of CNN, which leads to the upsurge of CNN research. (2) GPU is used for
calculation, which shortens the time and cost of training. Training
techniques such as ReLU activation function, data augmentation random
inactivation were introduced to provide samples for subsequent CN

 4.MODULES INCLUDED

Image recognition technology based on machine learning typically involves several

key modules or components. These modules work together to analyze and classify
images, detect objects or patterns, and make predictions. Some of the common modules
included in image recognition technology based on machine learning include:
Preprocessing Module: This module is responsible for preparing the input images for
further analysis. It may involve tasks such as resizing, normalization, noise reduction,
and data augmentation to improve the quality and consistency of the input data.

Feature Extraction Module: In this module, features are extracted from the
preprocessed images. Features can include various visual characteristics such as
shapes, textures, colors, edges, or other patterns that are relevant for classification or
detection tasks.

Machine Learning Model: This is the core module that performs the actual image
recognition task using machine learning algorithms. It can involve various techniques
such as supervised learning (e.g., convolutional neural networks, support vector
machines), unsupervised learning (e.g., clustering algorithms), or deep learning (e.g.,
deep convolutional neural networks).

training the machine learning model using labeled image data. It involves optimizing
the model parameters (e.g., weights and biases in neural networks) based on the
training data to minimize the prediction error.

Inference Module: Once the model is trained, it can be used for inference, where new,
unseen images are processed to make predictions or classifications. This module
applies the trained model to input images and generates output predictions or
classifications.

Post-processing Module: After the inference step, this module may be used to refine
the output predictions or detections. It can involve tasks such as filtering out false
positives, smoothing object boundaries, or applying additional constraints to improve
the accuracy and reliability of the results.

20
Evaluation and Validation Module: This module is used to assess the performance
of the image recognition system. It involves evaluating the accuracy, precision, recall,
F1-score, or other metrics to measure how well the system performs on a given dataset

Deployment Module: Finally, once the image recognition system is trained and
validated, it can be deployed in real-world applications. This module handles the
integration of the system into production environments, ensuring scalability,
efficiency, and reliability.
These modules are typically interconnected and work together in a pipeline to perform
various image recognition tasks effectively. Additionally, there may be variations in
the specific modules and techniques used depending on the application domain, dataset
characteristics, and performance requirements.

 5. CONCLUSION

As an important method in the field of artificial intelligence, machine learning has been
widely used in traffic identification research in recent years. Because of its intelligence,
good generalization and high recognition efficiency, it has gradually become the
mainstream of image recognition research. This paper studies the application of image
recognition technology based on machine learning in license plate recognition. In order
to complete the research of this paper, a lot of research on the current development of
license plate recognition research is carried out, and the horizontal and vertical research
and research are carried out in the field of recognition. Some basic technologies of
license plate recognition are studied, such as image processing, pattern classification,
machine learning, artificial intelligence and so on. In order to complete this experiment,
a large amount of target data was collected, but in the field of target recognition, it is
very difficult to obtain large-scale effective data. This is also the primary problem that
hinders the application of deep learning in the field of image recognition. To this end,
it is necessary to find a more effective way to carry out manual data expansion based
on the original database, so that deep learning can be effectively applied. Data in life
is ubiquitous, but tagged data is not common. Similarly, it is easier to collect data in
the field of image recognition, but manually collecting the collected data is a time-
consuming and labor-intensive task. To this end, unsupervised learning algorithms are
also the focus of research in deep learning, such as generating confrontational network
models. In the correction process of the license plate, this paper mainly focuses on the
linear information provided by the framed license plate. If the license plate location
module provides a license plate without a frame, then a targeted algorithm should be
developed. At the same time, in view of the control of the generalization accuracy of
the classifier in the license plate character recognition, this paper combines the genetic
algorithm with the optimal solution search tool which is better than the exhaustive
method to solve the global space of the weight of the neural network. After
experimental verification, the three solutions with the highest fitness are obtained from
the genetic algorithm. The generalization effect after decoding to the neural network is
relatively good.
