TransLPRNet: Lite Vision-Language Network for Single/Dual-line Chinese License Plate Recognition
arXiv:2507.17335v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: License plate recognition in open environments is widely applicable across various domains; however, the diversity of license plate types and imaging conditions presents significant challenges. To address the limitations encountered by CNN and CRNN-based approaches in license plate recognition, this paper proposes a unified solution that integrates a lightweight visual encoder with a text decoder, within a pre-training framework tailored for single and double-line Chinese license plates. To mitigate the scarcity of double-line license p
