License plate character detection is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems, where high accuracy and computational efficiency are required for real-time deployment. Although recent deep learning-based methods have substantially improved detection performance, many high-accuracy models rely on large-scale architectures that incur substantial computational overhead, limiting their applicability to resource-constrained devices.
arXiv:2606. 04684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The real-time hardships of video processing seriously limit the usage of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) with application in dynamic traffic monitoring settings.
License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems are critical tools in traffic monitoring, security enforcement, and urban mobility management. Traditional LPR systems often rely on a multi-stage pipeline involving object detection using You Only Look Once (YOLO) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which suffer from limitations such as high resource demands, poor performance in unstructured environments, and the need for large annotated datasets.

MEVL-STP introduces a two‑stage pipeline for spotting arbitrarily shaped scene text. The detection stage fuses features from six frozen vision encoders via a hierarchical Feature Pyramid Network and a Progressive Scale Expansion network to produce precise polygon masks. The recognition stage then crops these masks and feeds them to a fine‑tuned Qwen3‑VL‑8B‑Instruct model, achieving state‑of‑the‑art detection and end‑to‑end performance on CTW1500, Total‑Text, and ICDAR 2015 without synthetic pretraining.

SMDDFNet is a deep learning detector designed for traffic sign images, addressing challenges such as small objects, scale variation, and occlusion. It combines a Dynamic Dual Fusion (DDF) module—integrating multi-scale attention and frequency‑domain dynamic filtering—with a state‑space modeling backbone that captures long‑range dependencies efficiently. A multi‑scale feature fusion neck further aggregates pyramid features, enabling robust localization of small signs while maintaining real‑time throughput on datasets like TT100K, GTSDB, PASCAL VOC, and Roboflow.
