    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    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..."...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    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...

    Is CPAI the go-to for people alerts?

    AI isn't magic. If I look quickly at those pixels I see a person-like figure rather than a typical 4 legged equine. I expect AI to make mistakes but that's true whether it's running on Deepstack, CPAI or Blue Onyx. The recognition is only as good as the model you are using and the specific...

    Could it be related to the case change of "Index" to "index" that was recently made by Ken? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/5-9-9-january-17-2025-more-pre-6-0-feature-releases.80127/post-949964

    When you get to the last digit of that, does it then roll over to 6.0.0.0?

    As I found, that doesn't seem to work until a user is manually logged in. So I have to RDP to the BI machine which logs in as a user, and then starts the docker engine. Again if anyone knows of a way to do this automatically in Windows (short of disabling user credentials) several of us would...

    First Impressions of the new AI LPR camera

    For direction of travel, in my case I have two zones (left and right) with motion triggered from A>B. Then I cloned the camera and changed it to B>A. So I end up with two virtual cameras with cars traveling one way detected on the first and in the other on the second.

    Recommend me a camera that can zoom

    A camera that only can zoom is always centered on the middle of the view. In your case you want that to be the bus stop which is up and to the left. If you zoomed the view pictured, you'd be looking at your immediate neighbor's mailbox and driveway. If you moved the camera so it was centered...

    First Impressions of the new AI LPR camera

    Don't forget the awesome ALPR DB system that @algertc has created. If people are recognizing plates but not yet logging them into a database, this is definitely something to consider. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/full-alpr-database-system-for-blue-iris.79082/

    Recommend me a camera that can zoom

    The problem I see is that area is not in the center of your current view. If all the camera can do is zoom, then you'd need the zoomed in and zoomed out views to have the same center. So a PTZ instead?

    I'm using Plate Recognizer for my detections and it is not infallible either. There are times with changing lighting conditions, physical obstructions, etc. where it gets a "close" but slightly wrong plate.

    The place where I see the ALPR database having an advantage over just BI (whether it be an MQTT message or a notification) is that ALPR can do some lookup of the plate and add enriched data (such as fixing poor recognition with a fuzzy lookup), adding tags, checking for flagged vehicles, adding...

    I ran the update.ps1 script on Friday and it looked like everything was working. However, I'm getting errors about 'mqttnotifications' doesn't exist and I haven't been getting plate reads for a couple days. I'll try manually updating migrations.sql to see if that fixes it. I'd recommend that...

    Before even considering the ALPR Database you need: 1) A camera capable of getting close-up photos of license plates, with the right settings for day and night, high shutter speed, gain, etc. 2) A working Blue Iris setup where the camera is configured and sending data into BI. 3) The camera...
