An open-source Chinese license plate recognition system using neural networks and SVMs built on OpenCV.

EasyPR is a Chinese license plate recognition library designed for unconstrained scenarios. It leverages OpenCV and implements machine learning techniques including ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) and SVMs for plate detection and character recognition. The system can identify both alphanumeric characters and Chinese characters on license plates, achieving over 80% accuracy under clear conditions. It supports multiple platforms and includes plans to transition from ANN to CNN architectures.
