    Hi
    Sandy

    Classification will categorize an entire image into one, If you're interested in knowing whether a given image contains a vehicle's number plate or not, you would use classification. The output would be a probability score indicating the likelihood of the image belonging to each predefined class (e.g., "Number Plate" or "Not a Number Plate"). Detection, on the other hand, goes beyond classification and identifies and locates objects within an image. It provides bounding boxes around the objects along with the class labels. If you want to identify and locate the exact position of number plates within an image, you would use object detection. This can be particularly useful if you have multiple objects of interest in an image, and you want to precisely locate each one.

    If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.

    Classification involves categorizing the entire or portion of the image into predefined categories. For. e.g. if you need to determine whether the image contains a vehicle with a number plate or not, you can use the classification. E.g. you can categorize your images into two categories, vehicles with number plates, and vehicles with no number plates.

    Object Detection: it helps you to detect multiple objects in the image, it assigns labels to images and returns its bounding box (coordinates). Object detection is more suitable if you want to extract the number plate from an image.

    I hope this helps.
