    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    This is the exact same problem I ran into. First, stop CP.AI. Open an administrator windows shell and navigate to this directory in your CPAI installation: C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\modules\ALPR\bin\windows\python39\venv\Scripts\ For background as to what this next step is...

    Thanks Mike; downgrading to CUDA 11.8 got YOLOv5 6.2 running with the GPU, but now it seems the LPR module won't install. This is back to the state I was previously. 2024-09-28 15:05:39: Preparing to install module 'ALPR' 2024-09-28 15:05:39: Downloading module 'ALPR' 2024-09-28 15:05:40...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    The GPU version of LPR never did work for me; it works quite well on the CPU. The object detection (YOLOv5 6.2) worked quite well on my GPU in the past, but it seems to not like it any more. I am running CUDA 12.4 now though even though I was using the CUDA 11 version in the past. The 2.8...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Is an NVIDIA 1080 too old of a GPU? I've been using CPAI 2.8 and I can't get it to be used for inferences for LPR and general object detection using YOLO. 2.6.5 stopped working for some reason; despite repeated re-installs I could not get LPR to work at all under 2.6.5.

    2.6.5 - can't get the License Plate Reader module to install

    To follow up on this. I installed the latest CUDA drivers and installed Cp.ai 2.8. I can now install the license plate module no issue. However as before I can't use the GPU for the license plate module. . I'll take it. At least it works.

    2.6.5 - can't get the License Plate Reader module to install

    So, I've tried completely uninstalling CPAI 2.6.5 a few times now and I can't seem to get the ALPR module to install. Here's the install logs for the module: Reading ALPR settings.......done Installing module License Plate Reader 3.2.2 Installing Python 3.9 Python 3.9 is already installed...

    Where did the option in the windows UX to filter for zones go?

    Never mind; found it. Right click in clips list.

    Where did the option in the windows UX to filter for zones go?

    The BI help shows this: I thought it used to be here, but I can't seem to find it. Lol, I must be missing something?

    Codeproject AI and false positives

    CP.AI seems to think the trees at the sides of my house are people all the time. :) I guess I should train my own model, or just accept it is more creative in seeing faces in the leaves than I am. Ha ha.

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    How long is your system taking to process the 50 images you're sending to CPAI? As Actran pointed out to me, if the AI is taking too long to process, you may be losing frames in the processing pipeline. The BI manual actually covers this; I bumped up my pre-trigger record time and found things...

    Worth a shot I guess. :) I've also considered 24 hr time and a smaller font size. I think I'll still set up my tracking app to pull all inferences not just the first one. Then I can clearly see if I'm getting odd patterns.

    Does everyone remove the timestamp from their LPR camera? I recently noticed that the car with plate "PM" was passing by quite a lot and finally figured out what was up: I did notice that the license plate model in YOLO v8 doesn't seem to capture the timestamps. For now I'll just disable...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I'm going to cross-post this from my other thread. I've been unable to use the license plate CP.AI with the GPU since it just stops for no reason. Works GREAT with the CPU only. So I reinstalled the CUDA 11.8 drivers (I guess I hadn't done that and was running 12.X). GPU inference now...

    CodeProject LPR not detecting car because pre-trigger frames don't seem to exist.

    I realized I didn't have the CUDA 11.8 drivers/toolkit installed. So I did that; and the GPU does get used: However, the AI sure is hallucinating.. { "api":"alpr", "found":{ "success":true, "processMs":882, "inferenceMs":840...

    CodeProject LPR not detecting car because pre-trigger frames don't seem to exist.

    I did some more investigation and got it dialed in much better. Removing object detection so I wasn't doing the license-plates model AS well as ALPR seemed to help. I also noticed that my camera was set to H.265. Setting it to H.264 resulted in stable frame grabs with nothing missing. I...

    CodeProject LPR not detecting car because pre-trigger frames don't seem to exist.

    AH HA!!! THANK YOU! No it wasn't clear to me at that the CP.AI response times would have any impact on the ability to grab a plate # before the plate is out of view. However, reading the manual I do see the following very relevant writeup and diagram: My mental model for this was that as...

    CodeProject LPR not detecting car because pre-trigger frames don't seem to exist.

    Hello, thanks for the response. As for the slow CP.AI response time, I do have an issue in my particular configuration right now; YOLO object detection leverages the GPU just fine but license plate detection crashes when the GPU is used. So for the moment LPR is CPU only. The plates do get...

    CodeProject LPR not detecting car because pre-trigger frames don't seem to exist.

    I'm using CodeProject LPR and I'm having some issues reliably capturing plates. The illustration below shows what I think is the problem. Here's an analysis of one of the AI DAT files: The car moves from right to left; as you can see, at T=0msec, the bumper of the car is just barely in frame...

    It is an odd shape; I have only really found the tool that it comes with works well.

    This one here. It seems to lock the swivel of the part holding the camera and the camera itself.

    You need the hex key tool it came with; there is a little silver set screw in the base that locks the camera head in.

    Loryta IPC-HFW7442H-Z4-X first impression

    Not yet. I will have to find that and give it a shot. I wonder if the lack of wdr for plates is a known issue. Mind you the default shutter speed is way too slow and the cars are smears. I really had to quicken the shutter speed to get things to work.

    Loryta IPC-HFW7442H-Z4-X first impression

    Okay, so far I've tweaked the exposure and shutter speed to optimize viewing plates, just like I did with the 2 MP ALPR cam I've got set up. In addition to using the ALPR AI mode, if you configure to use the "AI metadata" detection: You CAN detect cars. It does appear that in this mode ALPR...

    The setup for the ANPR is a bit of a mystery to me so far... You are supposed to set up "lanes" of traffic and indicate the land direction. If you just set up one lane, then it looks like it'll ONLY ANPR traffic going in that direction. So you can see above I created two lanes which...

    Wow, the time flew. I kept meaning to mount this camera alongside my regular 2mp starlight bullet to compare the two. That resulted in a whole string of things I had to do, like call to get the utilities marked, dig the post hole, install the post, let the cement cure, get outdoor CAT6...

    Loryta IPC-HFW7442H-Z4-X - what fitting for junction box?

    Well apparently I was too quick to think this was anything other than standard NPT fittings. It is 3/4" NPT. So I just needed a bushing to reuse one of the 1/2" cable glands I have.
