A YOLOv5-based license plate detection model trained on the CCPD dataset and proprietary data, supporting many Chinese plate types. It provides both a PyTorch inference script and a C++ NCNN build for fast on-device detection.

Use cases

• detect license plates in images
• find car plate locations in photos for ANPR
• run fast plate detection on mobile with ncnn
• detect Chinese license plates of multiple types
• preprocess plate crops for OCR recognition
• build a parking or toll camera detection pipeline

When to choose

• you need fast, accurate license plate localization, especially for Chinese plates
• you want a lightweight NCNN/C++ deployment on edge devices
• you need a detector to feed a downstream plate recognition OCR step

When to avoid

• you need full plate recognition (OCR of characters), not just detection
• you need non-Chinese plate formats out of the box
• you need a maintained project with an active release cadence or a clear license
