Automatic License Plate Recognition System

Project Overview

This project implements a comprehensive Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system that combines state-of-the-art computer vision techniques with optical character recognition to identify and track vehicles in real-time. The system is designed to work in various lighting conditions and can handle multiple vehicle types.

Key Features

  • Real-time license plate detection using YOLO v5
  • Optical Character Recognition with Tesseract
  • Multi-angle plate recognition
  • Vehicle tracking and counting
  • Database integration for vehicle records
  • Web-based dashboard for monitoring
  • API for third-party integrations

Technical Challenges

  • Handling various lighting conditions and weather
  • Recognizing plates from different angles
  • Optimizing for real-time performance
  • Dealing with motion blur and low-resolution images
  • Supporting multiple license plate formats

Results & Impact

  • 95% accuracy in license plate detection
  • Real-time processing at 30 FPS
  • Successfully deployed in 5+ locations
  • Reduced manual monitoring by 80%
  • Improved traffic law enforcement efficiency
