Workflow

1. Object Detection

• Used YOLOv8 (yolov8n.pt) for detecting number plates.
• Integrated a custom-trained model tailored for Indian number plates.

2. Text Recognition

• Incorporated EasyOCR for extracting text from detected plates.
• Modified the logic in EasyOCR to improve recognition accuracy for region-specific number plates.

3. Bounding Box Stability

• Interpolated results from CSV outputs to ensure stable bounding boxes across frames.
• Selected number plate predictions based on the highest confidence score.

4. Future Improvements

• Plan to train EasyOCR on a customized dataset to enhance recognition accuracy for Indian number plates.
