Deep-Learning-Based Approach for Iraqi and Malaysian Vehicle License Plate Recognition

Recognizing vehicle plate numbers is a key step towards implementing the legislation on traffic and reducing the number of daily traffic accidents. Although machine learning has advanced considerably, the recognition of license plates remains an obstacle, particularly in countries whose plate number...
