License Plat Recognition Software (LRS)
What it does
This program can find and recognize license plates in images and segment the letters/numbers from it and then use machine learning to predict or "read" the characters
How we built it
This was written in Python but had a lot of dependencies; scikit-image, Pillow, scikit-learn, etc.
Challenges we ran into
1 - Detect a license plate 2 - Recognize or segment the individual characters 3 - AI character recognition
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning Python
Applying concepts such as Connected Component Analysis
Working with AI
What we learned
AI is fun
What's next for License Plate Scanner
Refine license plate detection ** better validation method for confirming the existence of a license plate
Bigger datasets
Detecting multiple license plates at once
