Abstract
The chosen font type in the license plate (LP) plays a vital role in the recognition phase in computer-based operations. Some fonts are challenging for humans to read; however, other fonts are challenging for computer systems to recognize. Here, we present two sets of results for font evaluation: font anatomy results, and recognition results for commercial products. For anatomy results, two typical LP fonts are considered: Mandatory, and Driver Gothic. Moreover, we evaluate the effect of these fonts in context for two datasets using two commercial products: OpenALPR and Plate Recognizer. The font anatomy results revealed some important confusion cases and some quality features of both fonts. The obtained results show that the Driver font has less severe confusion cases than the Mandatory font.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
