This repository contains the China-Balanced-License-Plate-Recognition-Dataset-330k, a high-quality, balanced dataset of 330,000 images featuring various types of Chinese license plates. The dataset is generated using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), ensuring excellent image quality and a balanced distribution of different license plate types. This dataset is perfect for training and evaluating license plate recognition models.

Note: In order to ensure the balance of the characters, there may be some license plate numbers that do not conform to common sense (for example, all letters), but this phenomenon does not affect the training.

The dataset includes the following characters and types of Chinese license plates:

    '京', '沪', '津', '渝', '冀', '晋', '蒙', '辽', '吉', '黑',
    '苏', '浙', '皖', '闽', '赣', '鲁', '豫', '鄂', '湘', '粤',
    '桂', '琼', '川', '贵', '云', '藏', '陕', '甘', '青', '宁',
    '新', '港', '澳', '挂', '学', '领', '使', '临',

    '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9',
    'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'J', 'K',
    'L', 'M', 'N', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V',
    'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'I', 'O'

'黑色车牌', '单层黄牌', '双层黄牌', '普通蓝牌', '拖拉机绿牌', '新能源大型车', '新能源小型车'

The dataset is divided into three text files: data.txt (all data), train.txt (training data), and val.txt (validation data). Each line in the text files consists of an image file path, license plate number, and license plate type, separated by spaces. Here's a sample of the dataset structure:

The training code is being sorted out, waiting to be supplemented.
