# PlateRecognizePy

PlateRecognizePy is a Python library for license plate detection and recognition. It provides a simple interface to process images containing license plates and extract the plate text.

## Features

- License plate detection in images
- Text recognition from license plates
- Support for both Tesseract OCR and EasyOCR
- Automatic saving of original and processed images
- Logging of detection and recognition results

## Installation

You can install PlateRecognizePy using pip:

```
pip install PlateRecognizePy
```

## Requirements

PlateRecognizePy requires Python 3.7 or later. The main dependencies are:

- [pytesseract](https://pypi.org/project/pytesseract/)
- [easyocr](https://pypi.org/project/easyocr/)
- [opencv-python](https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/)
