Abstract

The invention provides a cloud end meter reading method and device. The method includes acquiring meter reading information including a meter type and a meter image; according to the meter type, performing identification on a number area in the meter image and obtaining valid meter reading. Compared with a traditional method of identifying a meter image taken at the meter side, the method providedby the invention has lower requirements for quality of the meter image, pretreatment including binaryzation, denoising and the like on the meter image is not required before identification, the application range is wider. Besides, identification on the meter image is performed on a cloud end meter reading platform side, the operation capability is higher and the method is suitable for more complex and more accurate algorithms. Especially for mechanical meters with number rotation instead of number hopping, identification is more accurate.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to the technical field of meter data acquisition, in particular to a cloud-based meter reading method and device. Background technique [0002] Traditional meters (such as electricity meters, gas meters, and water meters, etc.) are widely used in various industries due to their low prices. However, traditional meters do not have the function of remote data transmission and require manual door-to-door meter reading, which is time-consuming and laborious. Existing solutions include, based on the Internet of Things technology, digital transformation of traditional meters, adding meter reading recognition modules and network transmission modules, etc., so that they have the function of remote automatic meter reading. [0003] Among them, the instrument reading recognition module adopts Optical Character Recognition (OCR: Optical Character Recognition) technology, which is used to analyze and recognize images containing text informa...
