Many industries looking for a Data Scientist with these skill This article explains how to develop a number plate object, detection model from scratch. We developed even developed an API using Flask. However, in this article, we explained how to train e customize object detection model from scratch. For building the license plate recognition we need data. For that, we need to collect the vehicle images where the number plate appears on it. Here is the sample data that | used for building this project.

Labeling, Training, Save Model, OCR and Pipeline, and RESTIul API But this article limits to only the frst three modules. The process is as follows. First, we will collect the image. Then wwe have to label images for object detection of License Plate or Number Plate using Image Annotation Tool which s open-source software developed in python GUI. Then after labeling the image we will work on date preprocessing, build and train a deep learning object sien aneots naa canpaaatunberlcng (2077 Sep Bs Astra Number Pi Recon ne Lian detection model (Inception Resnet V2) in TensorFlow 2. Once we have done with the Object Detection model training process, then using this model we will crop the image which contains the license plate which is also callec the region of interest (ROI), and pass the ROI to Optical Character Recognition API Tesseract in Python (PyTesseracti. In this module, we will extract text from mages. Now, we will put it ll together and build a Pipeline Deep Learning model. Inthe final module, we will learn to create a web app project using FLASK Python. With that, we are finally ready with our App Step -1: Labeling For building the license plate recognition we need data. For that, we need to collect the vehicle images where the number plate appears on it. Here is the sample data that | Used for building this project. You can also download it from my google drive.
