Show HN: Recognize license plates using fine-tuned yolov8, OCR and IP camera

56 pointsby TDiblikover 1 year ago
Hey, just a work related project I made, which could be open sourced :D<p>If you&#x27;re looking for an example on how to use&#x2F;fine-tune yolov8, I feel like taking a look at this repo and reading the README could help you get up to speed (also linked some nice refs)!<p>This is actually a full rewrite of a proprietary project I made (and documented on my site) like a year ago, will do some finishing touches (write blog post about it, mark the old version deprecated, record a tutorial on how to set it up on an Ubuntu server, etc, etc) in the following month, but felt like sharing it now, cuz I consider it done<p>The only proprietary part is the client, which receives the images and does stuff with db (has to interact with internal APIs, so there&#x27;s no reason to make it oss anyways). Also, the client contains only the business logic, all of the fun ai&#x2F;web server stuff is fully open under AGPL-3.0 (and an example client without the business logic is available ... in rust btw xdd).

Not OP, but out of curiosity, could people downvoting&#x2F;flagging OP share why? I don&#x27;t see anything particularly offensive, political, or questionable. Even if you&#x27;re opposed to ALPR&#x27;s as a technology, downvoting OP isn&#x27;t going to make them go away, and having open source alternatives likely aids in research regarding privacy and ALPR defeats by lowering the barrier to entry for that research.<p>OP, you should be very proud of having built something this complex at your age. When I was your age I was still wasting most of my time on video games. Keep up the cool work!

Really nice work.<p>As a followup, I would love to see an AI model trained to recognize parking wardens coming down the street.
