The License Plate Recognition (LPR) function is a technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically read and capture license plate information from images or video footage. It is commonly used in various applications such as parking management systems, toll collections, law enforcement, and vehicle tracking.The LPR function typically involves the following steps:

​1. Image Capture: High-resolution images or video frames of vehicles are captured using cameras positioned strategically to capture the license plates.

2. Image Processing: The captured images are processed using advanced algorithms to enhance the quality and clarity of the license plate area, making it easier for OCR to detect and recognize the characters.

3. Optical Character Recognition: OCR algorithms analyze the processed image to identify and extract the alphanumeric characters present on the license plate. The characters are then converted into machine-readable text.

4. License Plate Database Lookup: The recognized text is compared against a database of registered license plates to check for any matches or violations. This can be used for various purposes such as identifying stolen vehicles, tracking parking violations, or verifying vehicle registration.

5. Output and Actions: The recognized license plate information can be used to trigger automated actions, such as opening a tollgate or generating an alert for law enforcement authorities if a suspect vehicle is detected.
