Usage

The input image should satisfy the following criteria:

• The front of the car should be horizontally aligned.
• Pixel aspect ratio should be 1:1.
• The vehicle is sufficiently distant from image borders. (The surrounding blue rectangle should not go out of the image in the demo).
• The car should be captured from top frontal view.
• Image resolution should be 1 cm per pixel at least, i.e. the minimal EU license plate's width should be approximately 60 pixels.

Example input images

Wrong

Figure 1: The front of the car is not horizontally aligned.

Figure 3: The car is too close to the image edge (the detection window goes out of the image).

Correct

Figure 2: The same image but with compensated in-plane rotation. The front of the car is now horizontally aligned.

Figure 4: The car is sufficiently distant from image edges.
