Abstract
A system for detecting license plates is described. The system receives raw data comprising images of license plates. A base version of a ground truth is prepared based on the raw data, using a generic license plate detection (LPD). The system prepares input data for training a deep learning network. The deep learning network is trained with the prepared input data. A newly trained generic LPD is formed using data generated by the existing generic LPD.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving raw data comprising images of license plates;
- preparing, using a generic license plate detection (LPD), a base version of a ground truth based on the raw data;
- preparing input data for training a deep learning network;
- training the deep learning network with the prepared input data;
- and
- forming a newly trained generic LPD with the trained deep learning network.
A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
- receive raw data comprising images of license plates;
- prepare, using a generic license plate detection (LPD), a base version of a ground truth based on the raw data;
- prepare input data for training a deep learning network;
- train the deep learning network with the prepared input data;
- and
- form a newly trained generic LPD with the trained deep learning network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive raw data comprising images of license plates;
- prepare, using a generic license plate detection (LPD), a base version of a ground truth based on the raw data;
- prepare input data for training a deep learning network;
- train the deep learning network with the prepared input data;
- and
- form a newly trained generic LPD with the trained deep learning network.
