EasyPR is an automatic license plate recognition system designed to detect vehicle license plates and extract alphanumeric characters from images of Chinese vehicles. It functions as a deep learning OCR tool that converts image regions of license plates into machine-readable text strings.
The system includes a specialized detector for identifying vehicle plates within unconstrained environments and complex visual backgrounds. It also provides a synthetic data generator to create artificial image datasets used to train and improve the accuracy of the recognition models.
The project covers a multi-stage pipeline encompassing region-based plate detection, character segmentation, and alphanumeric classification. These capabilities are supported by supervised neural network training and convolutional feature extraction.
