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 theOcrInput
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.
