Number Plate Datasets

Dataset of license plate photos for computer vision. Some research groups provide clean and annotated datasets. However most dataset are rather small. Those dataset may be used by any object detection frameworks like YOLO or SSD if the bounding boxes are provided. However some work is necessary to reformat the dataset.

Holistic Recognition of Low Quality License Plates by CNN using Track Annotated Data

Datasets of number plate images. It can be used to train machine learning algorithms. Some of those datasets may contain restrictions. Please see links for details.

CCPD: Chinese City Parking Dataset

Open-source dataset for license plate detection and recognition, described in 《Towards End-to-End License Plate Detection and Recognition: A Large Dataset and Baseline》. This dataset is open-source under MIT license. More details about this dataset are avialable at our ECCV 2018 paper (also available in this github) 《Towards End-to-End License Plate Detection and Recognition: A Large Dataset and Baseline》.
