Use Case and High-Level Description

This model uses a small-footprint network trained end-to-end to recognize Chinese license plates in traffic.

Validation Dataset - Internal

1165 Chinese plates from different provinces

Example

Note: The license plates on the image were modified to protect the owners’ privacy.

Limitations

Only “blue” license plates, which are common in public, were tested thoroughly. Other types of license plates may underperform.

Inputs

  1. Image, name: data, shape: 1, 3, 24, 94 in the format 1, C, H, W, where:

    • C - number of channels

    • H - image height

    • W - image width

    Expected color order is BGR.

  2. An auxiliary blob that is needed for correct decoding, name: seq_ind, shape: 88,1. Set this to [1, 1, 1, ..., 1].

Outputs

Encoded vector of floats, name: dec, shape: 1, 88, 1, 1. Each float is an integer number encoding a character according to this dictionary:

    0 0
    1 1
