manak0/Detect-Numberplate

Example Numberplate Element Repo

This is a minimal Hugging Face-style Element repo for numberplate detection.

It adapts the detector approach from mohammedterryjack/face-numberplate, but aligns it to the Manako element contract:

• load_model(...)
• run_model(frame, model)
• Detect-style JSON output with normalized bbox coordinates

Notes

• This is a baseline example, not a production-grade ANPR model.
• It uses OpenCV's built-in haarcascade_russian_plate_number.xml.
• Haar cascades are lightweight but brittle across angle, blur, and night footage, so this is best treated as a starter library element.

Run

uv run python main.py /path/to/image.jpg

Quick load check:

uv run python -c "from main import load_model; print(load_model())"
