MVP: License Plate Scanner App
Objective
The Minimum Viable Product for the License Plate Scanner App is designed to validate the core functionality of the application. This MVP will focus on essential features to enable users to scan license plates, capture GPS coordinates, and store relevant data in a database.
Core Features:
License Plate Scanning
Functionality: Use the mobile application to scan and recognize license plates.
Data Extraction: Extract two key pieces of information:
License Plate Number: The alphanumeric identifier from the plate.
Province: The state or province based on the license plate format.
GPS Coordinates and Location Information
Functionality: Capture GPS coordinates when a license plate is scanned.
Location Details: Retrieve the street name and intersection corresponding to the GPS coordinates.
Data Storage
Information Captured:
License Plate Number
Province
Timestamp of the scan
GPS Coordinates (latitude and longitude)
Street Name and Intersection
Database: Store the collected data in a centralized database for future retrieval and management.
User Interface
Scan Screen: Simple interface for capturing license plate images and displaying extracted data.
Status Confirmation: Show confirmation of successfully recorded data, including timestamp and location.
Details:
- License Plate Recognition
- Technology: Implement OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to process and extract license plate details.
GPS Integration
- Technology: Use the device's GPS capabilities to get real-time coordinates.
- Location API: Utilize a geolocation service (e.g., Google Maps API) to convert coordinates into street names and intersections.
Backend and Database
- Backend: Develop a lightweight server to handle data submission from the mobile app.
- Database: Set up a basic database (e.g., SQLite or Firebase) to store scanned data and location details.
Mobile Application
Platform: Build a cross-platform mobile app (e.g., using React Native or Flutter) for both Android and iOS.
User Workflow
Open the mobile application.
Scan a license plate using the app’s camera feature.
The app processes the image to extract the license plate number and province.
The app captures the current GPS coordinates and fetches location details.
The extracted data (license plate number, province, timestamp, GPS coordinates, street name, and intersection) is sent to the backend server and stored in the database.
The app displays a confirmation screen with the recorded information.
