🚗 ClearPlate AI

ClearPlate AI is a computer vision MVP that detects vehicles and verifies license plate compliance using YOLOv8.
It flags vehicles with plates (compliant) and without plates (non-compliant) in video footage.

Built as a lightweight, modular project suitable for demos, hackathons, and early-stage product validation.
