Low-Power License Plate Detection and Recognition on a RISC-V Multi-Core MCU-Based Vision System
Lorenzo Lamberti, Manuele Rusci, Marco Fariselli, Francesco Paci, Luca Benini
In this paper, we present the first (to the best of our knowledge) demonstration of a low-power MCU-based edge device for Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR). The design leverages on a 9-core RISC-V processor, GAP8, coupled with a QVGA ultra-low-power greyscale imager. The…
