                         the context of intelligent transportation systems. In a typical 
                         ALPR pipeline, the last stage receives as input a cropped license 
                         plate region and outputs the string with the plate characters. 
                         This paper presents a Weakly Supervised Character Detection (WSCD) 
                         approach that requires only string-level annotations (as in 
                         generic text recognition methods) but is able to detect characters 
                         individually (as in detection-based methods, which require 
                         character-level annotations). The proposed method is evaluated in 
                         five distinct datasets and present very competitive results 
                         against other state-of-the-art methods.",
