License Plate Detection and OCR on an NVIDIA Jetson
Blog post from Roboflow
The blog post provides a comprehensive guide on how to train and deploy a custom license plate detection and optical character recognition (OCR) model to an NVIDIA Jetson using Roboflow's Inference Server. It emphasizes the benefits of deploying models on edge devices like the Jetson, particularly for scenarios requiring real-time data processing and offline operation. The tutorial includes detailed steps for setting up the NVIDIA Jetson Camera, installing necessary software components, and configuring the inference server for on-device inference. It also addresses potential troubleshooting issues, such as missing system packages and memory allocation errors, while guiding users through the installation of Tensorflow compatible with the Jetson platform. The post concludes by recommending further resources on selecting appropriate cameras and lenses for computer vision projects.
