This project served as the B.Tech project of four Electrical Engineering students in 2022.

1. Install Package (Requires python 3.x)

   pip install anprs
   

2. Sample Usage

    from anprs.anprs import LPR, OCR
   
    lpr = LPR()
    ocr = OCR()
   
    image_path = 'path/to/your/image'
   
    lpr_res = lpr.perform_lpr(image_path)
   
    license_plate_number = ""
   
    if lpr_res:
        license_plate_number = ocr.get_results()
    else:
        print('License plate not detected')
   
    print(lpr_res, license_plate_number)
   

The implementation in this repository corresponds to the following research paper:
