Idea
I wanted to make a handheld, device capable of scanning a license plate and give the details of the vehicle.
Working
The working is simple. Once we fire up the docker container, which runs the main plate detection code and a flask application for us to view the details of the vehicle.
Once the camera is pointed to the plate, the license plate in frame is cropped using openCV and then that image is send the AWS Textract service which grabs the letters and numbers and returns back the license plate number. Once we get the license plate number, it is used in a http request to https://www.regcheck.org.uk to grab the vehicle details.
Those details are then rendered on the flask app webpage.
