Motivation and Goal:

Automatically identify vehicles by reading their number plates. This is a useful application for the automotive and transport industry. The goal of this project is to produce an application which is able to recognize license plates at a close distance.

Project Scenario:

The company has a small parking lot where the parking spaces have been allocated for staff and visitors. The current problem is that some visitors park their cars for more than the time allowed. These parking violations are reported to visitors by staff. The staff currently monitors the parked cars manually without following any fixed procedure. This method however, does not always work correctly and requires unnecessary time and effort.

I have been given the task to design and implement a license plate recognition system to solve SnapInspect's parking lot problem.
