Toll Collection System

This project demonstrates a toll collection system using OpenCV for image processing, Tesseract for OCR, and FreeGLUT for OpenGL rendering.

Step 1: Install Necessary Dependencies

Make sure you have the required libraries installed. Open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config
sudo apt install libopencv-dev
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr libtesseract-dev libleptonica-dev
sudo apt install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
sudo apt install libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-eng

Step 2: Copy the Code

Save the following code as toll_collection.cpp:

// Add toll_collection.cpp C++ code here

Step 3: Compile the Program

Run the following command to compile the program:

g++ -o toll_collection toll_collection.cpp -lGL -lGLU -lglut `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4` -ltesseract -llept

Step 4: Run the Program

Execute the compiled program with:

./toll_collection

Step 5: Interact with the Program

Use the keyboard as described in the code comments:

Press 1-9 to add different types of vehicles.
Press Space Bar to start/stop the vehicle movement.
Press Enter to process an image for license plate detection.
Press i for instructions.
Press p for toll prices.
Press q to exit and show the total collected toll.

Troubleshooting

Missing Image: Ensure the image path provided in the code exists. If not, change the path to an existing image.
Compilation Errors: If you encounter any errors during compilation, ensure all dependencies are correctly installed, and paths are correctly set.
