This document discusses using deep learning for license plate recognition (LPR) problems. It presents the OpenVINOTM Toolkit, which supports deep learning inference on various system platforms and devices. It also provides examples of using the toolkit for a security barrier camera sample, including a vehicle-license-plate-detection model, a vehicle-attributes-recognition model, and a license-plate-recognition model. Specifications and results are presented for each example model. Deep learning approaches are suggested to improve LPR accuracy compared to traditional template matching methods.
