----------------------------------------------------------
Building the project using CMake from the command-line:
----------------------------------------------------------
Linux:
export OpenCV_DIR="~/OpenCV/build"
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D OpenCV_DIR=$OpenCV_DIR ..
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -D OpenCV_DIR=$OpenCV_DIR .. (debug mode)
make
----------------------------------------------------------
Running the project:
----------------------------------------------------------
ANPR taiwan/6232-UY.jpg
----------------------------------------------------------
Training the SVM:
----------------------------------------------------------
Prepare the character folder like this:
plate/0.jpg, plate/1.jpg, ..., no/0.jpg, no/1.jpg
trainSVM <num Plate Files> <num Non Plate Files> <path to plate folder files> <path to non plate files>
ex: trainSVM 34 52 Taiwan/plate Taiwan/no
----------------------------------------------------------
Training the OCR:
----------------------------------------------------------
Prepare the character folder like this:
0/0.jpg, 0/1.jpg, 1/0.jpg, ..., 9/0.jpg, A/0.jpg, A/1.jpg, ... Z/0.jpg
