License Plate Detection - Microservices

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is the process of reading the characters on the plate with various optical character recognition (OCR) methods by separating the plate region on the vehicle image obtained from automatic plate recognition.

This repository forks the Automatic_Number_Plate_Recognition_YOLO_OCR one by mftnakrsu to extract the license plate detection methods and create a microservices deployable as Docker containers.
