Abstract

This study presents a **state-of-the-art Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system** leveraging the **YOLOv11 object detection model** with **PaddleOCR** for precise alphanumeric extraction. Trained on a **custom dataset enhanced with COCO images**, the system ensures **real-time detection accuracy of up to 98%**, making it highly applicable for **traffic surveillance, toll collection, parking management, and law enforcement operations**.

Keywords

ANPR, YOLOv11, AI-powered number plate recognition, deep learning, computer vision, PaddleOCR, traffic surveillance, vehicle monitoring.

Conclusion

The **YOLOv11-powered ANPR system** significantly enhances real-time **vehicle identification** by combining **advanced deep learning techniques with OCR-based content extraction**. The modular architecture ensures **scalability, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability**, making it an ideal solution for **intelligent transportation systems**. Future enhancements include **multi-language plate recognition, better handling of low-resolution images, and cloud-based traffic analytics integration**.
