This Python project uses the CV2 computer vision library to detect and read license plates from a camera feed in real time and log the captured license plate numbers. Currently, the program is optimised for standard European license plates (e.g. ABC123, ABC12D, etc.). Please note that this project is a proof of concept and is not for production use.
