You can use LEADTOOLS Recognition SDK technology in your application. https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/engine/recognition You can leverage the IOcrEngine interface, which will allow you OCR an image and output the recognized words. Here is some sample code: string inputImage = @ "FILE PATH TO LICENSE PLATE IMAGE" ; using (RasterCodecs _codecs = new RasterCodecs()) using (IOcrEngine _ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD)) using (RasterImage _image = _codecs.Load(inputImage)) { // Startup the LEADTOOLS OCR Engine _ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, null); //Run the AutoRecognizeManager and specify PDF format IOcrPage page = ocrEngine.CreatePage(viewer.Image, OcrImageSharingMode.None); page.Recognize(null); IOcrPageCharacters ocrPageCharacters = ocrPage.GetRecognizedCharacters(); ICollection words = ocrZoneCharacters.GetWords(); Console.WriteLine( "Words:" ); foreach (OcrWord word in words) Console.WriteLine( "Word: {0}, at {1}, characters index from {2} to {3}" , word.Value, word.Bounds, word.FirstCharacterIndex, word.LastCharacterIndex); }
