Possibly... Did you try sending yourself an email alert and including &JSON in the message? It should have all the details from the call to the ALPR module. If it doesn't, then something is messed up. Can you add an email and post the JSON contents?
Make sure you have the correct call. Don't put the &JSON in quotes after the ai_dump parameter.
{ "ai_dump":&JSON, "Image":"&ALERT_JPEG", "camera":"&CAM", "ALERT_PATH": "&ALERT_PATH", "ALERT_CLIP": "&ALERT_CLIP", "timestamp":"&ALERT_TIME" }
It looks like your &JSON is empty.
If still having...
The license-plate custom model is to find a rectangular region consistent with a license plate. It does not, on it's own, figure out the letters and digits on the plate.
Putting ALPR DB aside, are you getting plates read in BI correctly first?
OODPCVS = Overview, Outline, Discern, Perceive, Characterize, Validate, Scrutinize.
I don't know why there need to be 7 levels, especially since we can just say "Enhance" and get the Scrutinize level of video. ;)
Any chance this will also allow the adding of a YOLO11 object detection module? I know you were trying to get Chris Maunder to add it to the CPAI codebase before it got stalled. Selfishly I'd like to test my delivery models on YOLO11.
There isn't much reason to have both New and Storage on the same machine otherwise you are spending all your time copying and deleting.
Most people set it up so their large HDD is New and then delete when that is about 90% full. Storage folder is then unnecessary.
As for your CPU usage, that...
I'd read through the following thread and see if anything is relevant to you. In particular, since CPAI moved off of the CodeProject servers, some links for updates in 2.6.5 won't work. But if it is working for you, consider "if it ain't broke..."...
Are you having issues with 2.9.5? I'm not, so I'm sticking with that version.
Would I like to see active updates? Yes, but I'm content with a working system, for now.
WIll this be added to a CPAI build, or is Chris Maunder no longer making changes so we have to do our own patches? I would love to see a loadable YOLO11 module while we're at it. I know you (@MikeLud1) were working with Chris to get one added, but I haven't seen any traction on that request in...
I reread @MikeLud1 's post and he does indeed say he is thinking of adding color, make and model. So ignore what I just said about that. Impressive if he can do that.
But, that's yet another piece of data that we could use to match misread plates. If a Red Ford Bronco with plates AOT123 is seen...
@MikeLud1 can correct me, but I think the screenshot you saw where it was detecting car details like the make and model was coming from PlateRecognizer.
He was showing an example where the plate was at angle where his updated YOLO11 model was doing better than PlateRecognizer. But I don't think...
I don't feel it's "principally incorrect" to use additional information from the database.
The recognition can always be changed to a better model, a more accurate model, or even a different service (e.g. PlateRecognizer). That change should be independent of what additional steps the database...
I'm using PlateRecognizer for OCR and it does a pretty decent job of character recognition. But even that can have issues with a slight change in lighting, an obstruction, change in angle of travel, front vs. rear, etc. Expecting the OCR to be 100% correct is unrealistic.
The big benefit I see...
