A South African Case Study: Applying Machine Learning to Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR
29 October 2020
Leen Remmelzwaal will present the School of IT seminar with a talk entitled, "A South African Case Study: Applying Machine Learning to Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).
Abstract: In this talk I will share how a South African company solved an expensive real-world problem with a light-weight mobile application: Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) for Law Enforcement. I will briefly discuss the ANN and CNN architectures, as well as the models and training techniques used to achieve an elegant mobile solution.
