🇹🇳 Tunisian License Plate Detection (YOLOv8n)

This model detects and localizes Tunisian vehicle license plates using the lightweight YOLOv8n architecture.

Model Description

Model Type: YOLOv8n (Nano)
Task: Object Detection
Classes: 1 class — "plate"
Purpose: Detecting Tunisian license plates for ALPR/OCR systems
Stage: Used as the first step in a complete license plate recognition pipeline

Use Case

This model is designed for real-time license plate detection:

Detect the plate region from vehicle images or video streams
Crop or send the detected plate to an OCR model
Improve accuracy for:
- Parking management
- Smart surveillance
- Toll systems
- Traffic monitoring
- IoT / edge camera solutions

The lightweight YOLOv8n architecture ensures fast inference even on low-power devices such as Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi, and mobile CPUs.

Training Details

Base Model: YOLOv8n pretrained on COCO
Framework: Ultralytics YOLOv8
Dataset: Custom Tunisian license plate dataset

Usage

Python Inference Example

python

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load model from Hugging Face Hub
model = YOLO("Safe-Drive-TN/Tunisian-Licence-plate-Detection")

# Run prediction
results = model.predict("path/to/car.jpg", conf=0.5)

# Process results
for result in results:
    boxes = result.boxes
    for box in boxes:
        print(f"Confidence: {box.conf[0]:.2f}")
        print(f"BBox: {box.xyxy[0]}")
