Bangla LPDB - A

Bangla LPDB-A is the first complete publicly available dataset of Bangladeshi vehicle images with visible Bangla license plates. The vehicle image dataset consists of almost all types of vehicles present in Bangladesh, excluding army, police, and government vehicles. The images are in JPG, and PNG format. 

This dataset is of two parts-

1. Bangladeshi vehicle images with visible Bangla license plates which includes 1928 images.

2. Cropped Bangla license plate which includes 2662 images (720 synthetic images, 1942 images manually cropped from part-1).

Each image also contains its corresponding annotated text file in YOLO format. For Part-1 and Part-2, number of classes are 1 and 102, respectively.This work has been accepted in The International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications (DICTA) (2021).
