Evaluating Vision-Language Models as a Zero-Shot Learning Alternative to You Only Look Once and Optical Character Recognition for Nigerian License Plate Recognition

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.

MicroCharNet: Less is More for License Plate Character Detection

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.

TongGuOCR: A Layout-Aware and Token-Augmented OCR MLLM for Chinese Historical Documents

arXiv:2608. 07917v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chinese historical documents preserve valuable cultural heritage, but many collections remain accessible only as scanned page images, preventing full-text retrieval, collation, and computational analysis.
