Added Number plate detection project

[iamdevdhanush]

What is this Python project?

This is a real-time Number Plate Detection project using Python and OpenCV.
It detects vehicle number plates from webcam feed, images, or video, and optionally saves cropped plate images.
It is beginner-friendly and modular, so others can expand it for automation, security, or traffic monitoring projects.

Features

• Real-time detection using OpenCV (Haar cascades + contour filtering)
• Works with images, video, and webcam feed
• Saves detected number plates as images with timestamp
• Modular and easy to extend for ANPR or traffic analytics projects

Why it is useful / Difference from similar projects

• Lightweight and runs in real-time without heavy models
• Easy-to-understand code for beginners learning OpenCV and image processing
• Can be integrated with OCR tools like EasyOCR for full license plate recognition
• Serves as a base for traffic monitoring, security, or AI experiments
