Detects vehicle license plates in real time from the camera video and reads their text. The plate model is chosen in the analyzer setting Region: Latin (EU/US/SouthAmerica) (default) or Korea.

  • Results from several frames are corrected by majority voting, which automatically fixes single-frame misreads.
  • A minimum confidence filter removes noisy results.
