Read License Plate

VB C#

using IronOcr;
using IronSoftware.Drawing;

// Instantiate OCR engine
var ocr = new IronTesseract();

using var inputLicensePlate = new OcrInput();

inputLicensePlate.LoadImage("LicensePlate.jpeg");

// Perform OCR
OcrLicensePlateResult result = ocr.ReadLicensePlate(inputLicensePlate);

// Retrieve license plate coordinates
Rectangle rectangle = result.Licenseplate;

// Retrieve license plate value
string output = result.Text;

Imports IronOcr
Imports IronSoftware.Drawing

' Instantiate OCR engine
Private ocr = New IronTesseract()

Private inputLicensePlate = New OcrInput()

inputLicensePlate.LoadImage("LicensePlate.jpeg")

' Perform OCR
Dim result As OcrLicensePlateResult = ocr.ReadLicensePlate(inputLicensePlate)

' Retrieve license plate coordinates
Dim rectangle As Rectangle = result.Licenseplate

' Retrieve license plate value
Dim output As String = result.Text

Install-Package IronOcr

Read License Plate

This approach effectively extracts license plate numbers from images using the IronTesseract OCR engine. The example illustrates:

IronTesseract Initialization: An instance of IronTesseract is created to handle OCR operations.
Image Loading: The image file containing the license plate is loaded using the OcrInput class.
OCR Process: The Read method is used on the OcrInput object, which performs OCR and identifies text from the image.
Result Analysis: The recognized words are iterated. If any word is identified as a license plate, its text and bounding box are printed.

This code can be particularly useful in applications related to parking management, vehicle access control, and automated recognition systems.
