Watch on YouTube: Automatic number plate recognition with Python, Yolov8 and EasyOCR !
The video I used in this tutorial can be downloaded here.
A Yolov8 pretrained model was used to detect vehicles.
A licensed plate detector was used to detect license plates. The model was trained with Yolov8 using this dataset and following this step by step tutorial on how to train an object detector with Yolov8 on your custom data. The model is available here.
