I am working on making License Plate Module for the below project and I am getting FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified when running the project. It works fine using an interactive window

Project Link:
GitHub - codeproject/CodeProject.AI-Server: CodeProject SenseAI is a self contained service that software developers can include in, and distribute with, their applications in order to augment their apps with the power of AI.[^]

License Plate Module Link:

Works fine using an interactive window image

What I have tried:

OCR='Paddle' # 'YOLO' or 'Paddle'

import io
from PIL import Image

from codeprojectai import CodeProjectAIRunner
from common import JSON
from analysislogging import LogMethod

from options import Options
opts = Options()

if OCR == 'Paddle':
    from paddleocr import PaddleOCR
    ocr = PaddleOCR(lang='en', rec_algorithm='CRNN', \
                    cls_model_dir='paddleocr/ch_ppocr_mobile_v2.0_cls_infer', \
                    det_model_dir='paddleocr/en_PP-OCRv3_det_infer', \
                    rec_model_dir='paddleocr/en_PP-OCRv3_rec_infer')

 try:
        # Convert to format suitable for a POST
        with io.BytesIO() as plate_buffer :
            image.save(plate_buffer, format='PNG')
            plate_buffer.seek(0)

            ocr_response = ocr.ocr(('image.png', plate_buffer, 'image/png'), cls=True)
