With the development of the economy and the surge in car ownership, the sale of used cars has been welcomed by more and more people, and the information of the vehicle condition is the focus information of them. The frame number is a unique number used in the vehicle, and by identifying it can quickly find out the vehicle models and manufacturers. The traditional character recognition method has the problem of complex feature extraction, and the convolutional neural network has unique advantages in processing two-dimensional images. This paper analyzed the key techniques of convolutional neural networks compared with traditional neural networks, and proposed improved methods for key technologies, thus increasing the recognition of characters and applying them to the recognition of frame number characters.
