Data for [eu] #5

Closed Silex closed 10 years ago

Silex commented 10 years ago

Hello,

  1. do you know why leu.germany.exp0.tif looks so different than the belgium/netherland one? I mean it's not "sorted" like the others
  2. is the data used to generate these available somewhere? the eu folder in train-detector just contains raw plates.

Thanks.

I generated that one from a font file, while the others were generated from actual plate images. Plate images are better data, but the font file was easier to create.

I created a random string of text, then I created the tif file from that. The box file was then generated based on the random string of text.

I don't think I can include the original font file that I used to generate the characters, since it is commercial.

Ok no worries, thanks for the info. When I have enough swiss plates to generate a decent dataset I'll probably make a PR for them.
