Indian Vehicles License Plate OCR

My Windows-based weighing application already stores a JPEG snapshot of every vehicle that drives onto the scale. I now need a compact module that does two things as soon as the photo is created: 1. Locate and crop only the licence plate region in the JPEG (Indian formats, both white-black and yellow-black styles, private and commercial plates). 2. Read the characters on that cropped plate and return the exact registration number as clean text so I can write it straight to my database. The current codebase is independent of language for this new feature, so you are free to deliver a self-contained DLL, EXE, or a callable script—provided it runs reliably on Windows. OpenCV, Tesseract, EasyOCR, YOLO, or similar toolkits are fine as long as they give me accurate results on Indian plates under varied lighting. Acceptance will be based on: • Minimum 90 % recognition accuracy on a sample set of 500 real-world Indian plate images I will supply. • API or command-line call that receives the original JPEG path and returns the detected number in text. • Clear setup instructions and commented source so my team can rebuild or fine-tune later. If you have already delivered number-plate recognition in an Indian context, especially for weighbridge or toll systems, your experience will help us move quickly.
