Show HN: Recognize license plates using fine-tuned yolov8, OCR and IP camera
github.comHey, just a work related project I made, which could be open sourced :D
If you're looking for an example on how to use/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)!
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
The only proprietary part is the client, which receives the images and does stuff with db (has to interact with internal APIs, so there's no reason to make it oss anyways). Also, the client contains only the business logic, all of the fun ai/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/flagging OP share why? I don't see anything particularly offensive, political, or questionable. Even if you're opposed to ALPR's as a technology, downvoting OP isn'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. 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! Carbrain. Their car transcends responsibility and law. I'm a huge car guy, and I dislike government usage of ALPR, but that's no reason to downvote or flag the post, for the reasons I provided above. Sure but most are not as diplomatic as you. They vote for their own interests only. Really nice work. As a followup, I would love to see an AI model trained to recognize parking wardens coming down the street.
