Guatemala License Plate Recognition Engine (C++)

A high‑performance License Plate Recognition (LPR) engine specifically designed for Guatemala license plates, implemented entirely in native C++.

The engine achieves >99% recognition accuracy, delivers very high throughput, and is optimized for deployment across a wide range of devices — from embedded systems to high‑performance servers. It is built without any third‑party libraries, ensuring full control, portability, and minimal runtime overhead.


Key Features

  • Country‑Specific Optimization
    Tailored exclusively for Guatemala license plate formats, fonts, and layout characteristics.

  • Exceptional Accuracy
    Achieves over 99% recognition accuracy on validated datasets.

  • Ultra‑Fast Recognition
    Designed for real‑time and high‑throughput scenarios such as traffic monitoring and access control.

  • Pure C++ Implementation
    Written entirely in standard C++ with zero third‑party dependencies.

  • Lightweight & Portable
    Can be deployed on:

    • Embedded devices
    • Edge devices
    • Desktop applications
    • Server environments
  • Neural Network Classifier
    Uses an MQDF (Modified Quadratic Discriminant Function) neural network classifier for robust and efficient character recognition.


Technology Overview

Core Language

  • C++ (Native)

Recognition Engine

  • Custom‑built image preprocessing pipeline
  • Plate localization optimized for Guatemala plates
  • Character segmentation and normalization
  • MQDF Neural Network Classifier for character recognition

External Dependencies

  • None
    The engine does not rely on OpenCV, TensorFlow, ONNX, or any other third‑party libraries.

Performance

Metric Description
Accuracy >99% on Guatemala plates
Recognition Speed Real‑time, high‑FPS capable
Memory Footprint Very low
Startup Time Instant (no model loading frameworks)

The engine is optimized for low latency and high concurrency, making it suitable for continuous video streams and large‑scale deployments.


Supported Plate Types

  • Standard Guatemala private vehicle plates
  • Commercial vehicle plates
  • Government‑issued formats (where applicable)

Note: The engine is optimized for Guatemala plates only. Recognition accuracy for other countries is not guaranteed.


Deployment Scenarios

  • Traffic monitoring systems
  • Parking management systems
  • Toll collection systems
  • Access control and security gates
  • Smart city and IoT solutions
  • Embedded and edge AI devices

Build & Integration

Build Requirements

  • C++11 or later compatible compiler
  • Windows / Linux (portable codebase)

Integration

The engine is designed to be:

  • Embedded directly into existing C++ applications
  • Wrapped for use with other languages (e.g., C#, Java, Python) via FFI or bindings
  • Integrated into real‑time video processing pipelines

Design Principles

  • Accuracy First – Optimized neural classifier and preprocessing
  • Performance First – No unnecessary abstractions or dependencies
  • Portability – Runs anywhere a C++ compiler is available
  • Reliability – Deterministic execution and predictable resource usage

Limitations

  • Country‑specific: optimized only for Guatemala license plates
  • Does not include UI or camera capture modules
  • Image acquisition and video decoding must be handled externally

Roadmap (Optional)

  • Additional Guatemala plate variants
  • Multi‑threaded batch recognition APIs
  • Optional GPU acceleration
  • SDK packaging for commercial deployment
