ROGUE---Reconnaissance-Offensive-Global-Unified-Egis

The Number Plate Reader is a tool in the ROUGE project for searching authorized video footage for a requested plate number.
An officer uploads a video and enters the plate number and a location label.
The location is displayed as entered and is not verified against the footage.
The backend uses OpenCV to open the video and sample frames at up to four frames per second.
Tesseract OCR reads text from the frames and selected image crops.
The reader removes spaces and separators from plate text before comparing it with the requested number.
It reports exact text matches with timestamps and still-frame previews.
The search can miss a plate because of blur, distance, motion, lighting, camera angle, obstruction, or plate format.
Its OCR scores are not probabilities, and results should be checked against the original footage.
Uploaded videos are processed temporarily and deleted when scanning finishes; the tool is not a verified vehicle-identification system
