Looking for ANPR/LPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition/License Plate Recognition) SDK for android

Question

I am looking for ANPR/LPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition/License Plate Recognition) SDK for android..Is there any SDK for Android?

i want to develop a license plate identification software for android , where users can scan a plate using phone camera and identify the number.

i tried some optical character recognition(OCR) engines like Tesseract, but the accuracy is so bad.

is there any method I can use but OCR ?

Check out OpenALPR (http://www.openalpr.com)

It's a C++ library that uses OpenCV and Tesseract. It should be possible to run this on Android via JNI.

Have tried this solution but not works on more than 70% accuracy in my case in my Country. Any suggestion? – Yohanim Dec 18 '17 at 07:05
You might have to tune the system based on your country's number plate format. – jeffry copps Jun 06 '18 at 08:35

I too am working on ANPR's. I think just using an OCR might not help. The opensource project Javananpr helped me a lot to understand the challenges and how one can tackle them. I suggest you to read the documentation there and maybe it can give you some direction.

I'm trying to implement the same use case at my end.I tried to use tessert act to recognize the image into character but it fails most of the time to recognize. I need your suggestion to use the better api for reading number plates with android dev environment. – Senthil Mg Apr 17 '14 at 12:25
