Advantages :

• This project works better than other open-source projects on GitHub.
• It has the easiest code of all projects on GitHub. *It is fast when you have a GPU.
• You can improve performance by training.
• It works well with 4K images taken from a phone.

Limitations :

• The train is not perfectly done, Original yolov5 model is used to detect a car so that it does not perform well when a car is close to the camera
• Old license plates may not be easily recognizable, but compared to older ones, newer ones are more easily recognizable.
