Pi Plate

HackCWRU6 Project Authors: Ben Pierce Jesse Feng Ben Ferreri

We used free open source software alpr as well as a Raspberry Pi to fabricate a device that recognizes car license plates. By pressing a button, the Pi takes an image with the camera, and this is then sent down a Python pipeline and analyzed onboard. The best prediction for the plate number is then displayed on an LCD.

I worked on the connecting the circuit parts on the voltage dampener in order to make sure our LCD component (5V logic) and Raspberry pi (3.3V logic) would be able to use the same 5V power supply that came with the Pi. I was responsible for setting up a VNC connection to our raspberry pi from our computers and installing the software needed to use the camera
