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.
