1. Project title: Application of YOLOv3 and CNN Models for License Plate Recognition in Crime
Tracking
2. Initial materials provided by the advisor: None
3. Content of the project:
-

Crawl a dataset containing images of license plates, ensuring a variety of styles and
conditions.

-

Convert photos to black and white or grayscale format to reduce data size and complexity.

-

Build a YOLOv3 model to recognize characters on the license plates.

-

Split the dataset into training and testing sets to evaluate the models performance.

-

Deploy the trained model in a real system to use it for recognizing characters on license plates
in practical applications.

4. Final product: Applying YOLOv3to recognize license plate characters relies heavily on the quality
of the dataset and the intensity of training to achieve high accuracy. The final product fulfills the
original purpose: when an image containing a license plate is provided, the system will output the
corresponding characters as digital text, facilitating efficient and accurate crime tracking.
