Build an object detection model to identify license plates from images of cars

This code pattern is part of the Getting started with IBM Maximo Visual Inspection learning path. In this code pattern, learn how to use optical character recognition (OCR) and the IBM Maximo Visual Inspection object recognition service to identify and read license plates. Using IBM Maximo Visual Inspection and the Custom Inference Scripts, you can build an object detection model to identify license plates from images of cars. The models in the IBM Maximo Visual Inspection object recognition service can identify portions of images that represent a license plate. Then, the post custom inference script can crop this area and use open source to perform OCR on the text to return the license plate.
