Python Opencv实践 - 车牌定位（纯练手，存在失败场景，可以继续优化）

使用传统的计算机视觉方法定位图像中的车牌，参考了部分网上的文章，实际定位效果对于我目前使用的网上的图片来说还可以。实测发现对于车身本身是蓝色、或是车牌本身上方有明显边缘的情况这类图片定位效果较差。纯练手项目，仅供参考。代码中imagePreProcess对某些图片定位率相比于imagePreProcess2做预处理的效果要好。后续可以尝试做一个如果imagePreProcess2识别无效后使用imagePreProcess再处理，或者加上阈值自适应打分的机制优化。目前对于我做的练手项目来说足够了。

注意：以下代码是参考了网上的一些文章后，按照自己的思路写的，定位效果尚可。参考的文章有：python-opencv实战：车牌识别（一）：精度还不错的车牌定位_基于阈值分割的车牌定位识别-CSDN博客

成功的例子：

不太成功的例子（轮廓检测的不太好，并且轮廓中蓝色的值过早出现，可以优化判断为连续的蓝色而不是零散的蓝色）

失败的例子（没能检测出小轮廓，车身本身为蓝色，替换为imagePreProcess后能够成功）：
