This repository for project that can Automate Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) in Morocco Licensed Vehicles. 💻 + 🚙 + 🇲🇦 = 🤖 🕵🏻‍♂️ # MoroccoAI Data Challenge (Edition #001) This Reposotory is result of our work in the comepetiton organized by MoroccoAI in the context of the first MoroccoAI Data Challenge. **For More Information, check the Kaggle Competetion page !** ### Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) in Morocco Licensed Vehicles In Morocco, the number of registered vehicles doubled between 2000 and 2019. In 2019, a few months before lockdowns due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, 8 road fatalities were recorded per 10 000 registered vehicles. This rate is extremely high when compared with other IRTAD countries. The National Road Safety Agency (NARSA) established the road safety strategy 2017-26 with the main target to reduce the number of road deaths by 50% between 2015 and 2026 [1]. Law enforcement, speed limit enforcement and traffic control are one of most efficient measures taken by the authorities to achieve modern road user safety. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is used by the police around the world for law and speed limit enforcement and traffic control purposes, including to check if a vehicle is registered or licensed. It is also used as a method of cataloguing the movements of traffic by highways agencies. ANPR uses optical character recognition (OCR) to read vehicles’ license plates from images. This is very challenging for many reasons including non-standardized license plate formats, complex image acquisition scenes, camera conditions, environmental conditions, indoor/outdoor or day/night shots, etc. This data-challenge addresses the problem of ANPR in Morocco licensed vehicles. Based on a small training dataset of 450 labeled car images, the participants have to provide models able to accurately recognize the plate numbers of Morocco licensed vehicles. ### Table of Contents - **Dataset** - **Our Approach** - Data acquisition and preparation - Library and Model Architecture - Modeling - Post-Processing - **How to run it** - Colab Notebooks - Docker Image - **Demo …
