MareArts ANPR

Automatic Number Plate Recognition SDK — detection + OCR for multiple regions, with GPU acceleration and ARM/Windows support.

One license covers everything: Python SDK, REST API Server, and Mobile App.

Python SDK

Detect and read license plates in your own Python code.

pip install marearts-anpr          # CPU (all platforms)
ma-anpr gpu-setup cuda             # switch to NVIDIA CUDA
ma-anpr gpu-setup directml         # switch to Windows GPU

from marearts_anpr import (
    ma_anpr_detector_v16, ma_anpr_ocr_v16, marearts_anpr_from_image_file
)

detector = ma_anpr_detector_v16("640p_fp32", user_name, serial_key, signature)
ocr = ma_anpr_ocr_v16("fp32", "univ", user_name, serial_key, signature)

result = marearts_anpr_from_image_file(detector, ocr, "car.jpg")
print(result)
# {'results': [{'ocr': 'ABC1234', 'ocr_conf': 99, 'ltrb': [...], ...}], ...}

Supported Regions

V16 uses per-country character sets — pass a 2-letter country code (e.g. de, au, ru) for best accuracy, or a group code (eu, asia, eup, na, univ, etc.).

Supports 80+ countries across 12 regional groups: EU (37), Ex-USSR (15), Asia (17), N. America (3), S. America (2), Africa (2), Oceania (2), UK (4), China, Korea, Japan.

Unknown regions fall back to univ with a warning.

See Full Region & Country Reference for the complete table with all country codes and flags.
