Popis: Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems are essential for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), effective transportation management, security, law enforcement, etc. However, the performance of ALPR systems can be significantly affected by environmental conditions such as heavy rain, fog, and pollution. This paper introduces a weather-adaptive Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) framework that leverages the YOLOv10 model that is designed to enhance license plate detection in adverse weather conditions. By incorporating weather-specific data augmentation techniques, our framework improves the robustness of ALPR systems under diverse environmental scenarios. We evaluate the effectiveness of this approach using metrics such as precision, recall, F1, mAP50, and mAP50-95 score across various model configurations and augmentation strategies. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in overall detection performance, particularly in challenging weather conditions. This study provides a promising solution for deploying resilient ALPR systems in regions with similar environmental complexities.
