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
