Vietnamese License Plate Recognition Benchmark

A reproducible benchmark for Vietnamese automatic license plate recognition: three YOLO generations, three OCR pipelines, real RTSP traffic-camera data.

Setup

  • YOLOv5, YOLOv8 and YOLOv11 trained under one 640×640, 20-epoch setup.
  • 8,259 detection images, a 3,763-sample recognition benchmark, three recognition architectures and 32 Vietnamese alphanumeric classes.

Detection

The best detector reached 0.994 mAP@0.5, 0.752 mAP@0.5:0.95, 0.995 precision and 0.985 recall on validation.

Recognition

A two-stage pipeline pairs YOLOv11 plate detection with a recognition model built from convolutional, recurrent and sequence-decoding (CTC) stages, reaching 98.9% plate-level accuracy.

Field conditions

Perspective-warp skew correction handles tilted plates, and the pipeline holds 91% accuracy on 15,000 night-time frames.
