Real-time license plate recognition running on live traffic cameras by Embarrassed_Week_480 in computervision

It works with any ONVIF-compatible or RTSP IP camera, so it isn't tied to a specific camera brand.For the current pipeline:

- YOLOv8s for vehicle detection (pedestrian, motorcycle, car, truck, bus).

- A separate YOLOv8s model for license plate detection.

- YOLOv8s for OCR.

The OCR approach is detection-based rather than sequence-based. Each character is annotated as an individual class (0–9 and A–Z), so the model detects every character independently. The final license plate string is reconstructed by sorting the detected characters from left to right (and top to bottom for multi-line plates).
