Thai License Plate Detection App 🚗

This Streamlit application detects and recognizes Thai license plates and provinces from images. It uses YOLOv8 for object detection and TrOCR for text recognition.

Features

• 📷 Upload images containing Thai license plates
• 🔍 Detect and extract license plate numbers
• 🏠 Recognize and match province names
• 🖼️ Display cropped regions of detected plates and provinces
• 🎯 High accuracy text recognition using TrOCR

How to Use

1. Upload an image containing a Thai license plate using the file uploader
2. Wait for the processing to complete
3. View the results:
   • Detected license plate number
   • Cropped license plate image
   • Detected province name
   • Cropped province image

Technical Details

The application uses:

• YOLOv8 for license plate and province detection
• TrOCR (Thai) for text recognition
