AI Based Seamless Vehicle License Plate Recognition Using Raspberry Pi Technology

This research presents the implementation of an innovative Vehicle Management System designed specifically for the Christ University Project "CampusWheels." The system incorporates cutting-edge technologies, including YOLOv8 and Tesseract OCR, for robust license plate recognition. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Christ University in managing and securing vehicular movements within the campus, this project becomes crucial as the number of vehicles on campuses continues to grow. It not only provides an effective solution to these challenges but also introduces innovative methodologies, marking a significant departure from conventional campus management practices. The paramount importance of this project lies in its ability to enhance campus security through real-time vehicle monitoring and identification. The utilization of YOLOv8 for vehicle detection and Tesseract OCR for license plate recognition ensures a high level of accuracy in identifying and tracking vehicles entering and leaving the campus. This precision significantly contributes to the prevention of unauthorized vehicle access, a common security concern on educational campuses. Moreover, the system's ability to streamline traffic flow and improve efficiency in parking and access control addresses practical issues faced by campus administrators and security personnel.
