License Plate Recognition with ESP32-CAM and Python

License plate recognition (LPR) is widely used in security, automation, and traffic management. In this project, I built a low-cost LPR system using ESP32-CAM and Python with OpenCV. How It Works ESP32-CAM captures an image of the license plate. The image is sent to a Flask server. OpenCV processes the image to extract the plate number using OCR. The recognized text is displayed on the web interface. Why ESP32-CAM? Affordable & compact WiFi-enabled Ideal for IoT applications Python & OpenCV for OCR We use OpenCV for image processing and Tesseract OCR for text extraction.

License Plate Recognition with ESP32-CAM and Python

License plate recognition (LPR) is widely used in security, automation, and traffic management. In this project, I built a low-cost LPR system using ESP32-CAM and Python with OpenCV.

How It Works

ESP32-CAM captures an image of the license plate.

The image is sent to a Flask server.

OpenCV processes the image to extract the plate number using OCR.

The recognized text is displayed on the web interface.
