Has anyone made progress on this?

I am also interested in ANPR, currently I am looking for an open source solution for Brazilian number plates. The only I have found so far is

Does anyone have experience in adapting javaanpr for other countries?

But the cheap ones do not support Brazil

Hi,

Maybe I can help you to adapt Brazilian plates.

This kind of technology is becoming affordable very quickly as the price of hardware comes down.
