hi, I think I am perfect for you. I have done this before. One month ago, I designed a number plate recognition algorithm for the parking lot security in Southern Africa. If you want, I can show you my demo.
I am an expert in this area and have more than 6 years of experience in this area. I spent some wonderful time in Microsoft and NEC Labs working on related projects.
Looking forward to working for you on this project using my expertise. Maybe you can contact me and we have a further discussion first. :)
