Text Detection on Car Plates
This project focuses on creating a code to read car plates from images. The project explores various image processing methods provided by the OpenCV library to highlight the region of interest, which in this case is the car plate.
The project involves testing these methods to understand and evaluate the best techniques for highlighting the area of interest in images. After satisfactory image processing to capture the region of interest, Tesseract along with regex is used to read and capture the characters on the plate.
The project focuses on the following:
- Learn to apply image processing techniques.
- Detect the position of a vehicle plate in an image.
- Understand how to recognize text in images using Tesseract.
- Learn about the different types of thresholding.
- Understand the morphological transformations that can be applied to images.
- Detect object edges in images.
