I want to detect the presence of a license plate in an image, using Python code.

I got multiple suggestions to use the package cvblob, but I am unable to install cvblob on my Ubuntu system.

What is the best approach to this problem that does not require cvblob?

You may use SimpleCV, it is a wrapper on opencv-python alongwith OCR support which may help you read the license plate text, if its clearly visible. In my experience, it is the most beginner-friendly.
