An Anchor-Free Object Detector with Contextual Information for License Plate Detection Detailed paper site: https://hankerkuo.github.io/Thesis_KSH/chapters/Abstract What does the model do? License plate detection & Car pose estimation! How's the pose estimation ability? Assign each pixel to certain class, possible for pixel-wise segmentation! Results (a) -> input image (b) -> High-probability license plate position (c) -> front pixels (d) -> rear pixels What kind of scenario is the model good at? -> An image with multiple cars inside, see the comparison below Left column -> Vehicle-detection-based method (Detection missing) Right column -> Our method (All license plates found) Model architecture Backbone Heads
