BI does it periodically. My BI stays up to date so it must do it on a schedule. Possibly closes the connection afterwards though.

not got a horse in this race, but the AI dashboard has a feature to tell you if there is an updated version (it’s even in the logs). Surely it needs to call out to do this?

I'm getting some good results at the moment... One thing it does keep getting wrong is the back of a white audi... it tried to read the audi rings as the plat and just comes back with "O". Other than that it's not doing too bad.

Out if interest, how many pigs do you see on your ALPR cam? Or are you training it to spot Police cars, lol!?

The easiest way of doing that is just to log a row to the datbase every time you see a plate, then you can query the database based on date/times to give you the counts. I have a "risk factor" on my solution based on how many times the plate has been seen in the past month, as well as an...

There are many ways to do this and it all depends on what you want to achieve and whether it's all in the same environment. For example, I have created a PHP API that BlueIris calls with the plate dats and a Base64 encoded image. The API then writes the plate data to the database and compresses...

To be honest I think a lot of people do it as a hobby or challenge. I have mine hooked up to a downstream system that alerts me when my parents arrive, or various friends. It’s not massively useful but it’s kinda fun to do.

Further to my previous message about rules for British plates, I have been giving the issue some thought. If we are going with a generic license plate model then we can't bake the logic into the AI rules, as plates from elsewhere in Europe may have different rules. With that in mind I am...

I would agree with this, and BI in my mind should not be an ALPR system, it should just allow the calls to the AI systems and downstream processors. If someone wants to create a fully-fledged ALPR system with known plates, alerts, reports etc (I am actually doing this myself) then BI should just...

it happily ignores the parked cars, that’s not the problem. The issue is near the centre things are moving across the scene fast. Where the second plate is, the plate is moving toward or away from the camera and so the images are generally better. If the “plate” with the highest % was chosen...

BTW, here is a standard example that I see a lot... BI chooses the closest to the middle even though it can't read the plate. Whereas this was available to use...

In case anyone is interested I am starting to deal with this downstream in my dashboarding database. So far I have these 2 cases: The second character in a UK plate cannot (I believe) be zero. In the old style plates there was a letter followed by numbers, but no leading zeros. In modern...

Rekor Scout was what I used before they hiked the price... That worked almost 100% as it analysed the live video stream and "figured it out". This system is getting 85% of the way there but still getting a lot of false positives. I do occasionally see the "half plate" issue, but mainly it's just...

sorry I disagree in this case, lots of us have cameras for multi use so the best plate is not necessarily near the centre. I understand having it as an option, but to assume centre is best just because it fits someone’s situation is very restrictive indeed.

Yup. One person requested the “feature” so he is implementing it. Frustrating

Heard back from Ken. He said the next version of BI will choose the plate closest to the middle. This will fundamentally break my setup as cars go fast through the centre if the frame usually and the best plates come from nearer the edge. It also depends on whether there are parked cars on the...

I wasn't criticising, I was just asking if anyone knew of existing logic we can use. For example, UK plates do not use the letter I (capital i), so I have a replace function that replaces any instance of I with the number 1. I can do other such cleanup routines before entering the final plate...

I am having issues where 0 and O are getting confused. This is understandable as they are identical on UK plates. It is quite a complex issue though as there have been several variations on UK plates over the years, including: AAA000A A000AAA AA00AAA (current one) Does anyone know if there is...

Ah, that makes sense. I don't have a node-red flow as I am pushing to a PHP API rather than using node-red.

Sorry to dig up this old post but I actually think there is a good case for the other method of passing the image via the alert. In my case I have built out my dashboard on a web server, completely decoupled from Blue Iris and CPAI, so my dashboard doesn't have any access to the folder with the...

Just emailed them now. Looking at today's results I'd have an almost 100% success rate had it picked the best "plate"

Working quite well here. Quite a few fails that would have been sorted if the algorithm took the best plate % though.

Not sure that your scenario of the plate being closest to the centre being the best works for everyone else though. For example it wouldn’t work for my current camera setup where there are multiple uses for the stream.

Cheers Mike. Did you have any joy figuring out why BI isn’t using the best plate % to read the plate data?

Here you go... (different vehicle btw)

Thanks, but does that help with the issue I was having with it not picking the correct plate? Also, what is the rationale behind having "begin analysis with motion-leading image"? The help screen suggests to turn this off.

I just had a capture where it only captured half the plate (rest was off-cam). When I looked at the clip the +500 image clearly captured the whole plate. Not sure how the system works or what I'm doing wrong, but how do I get it to use the best image, as the whole plate has obviously been...

I'm having good results getting BI to work with ALPR and then getting BI to pass the JSON to my upstream system. I am however having a lot of issues with it confusing a number 1 to letter I, and some issues with M and W. I think I saw something a week or so ago about an update coming that would...

I have the same CPU with the Intel 530 graphics.... should GPU be set to on or off for this chip?

Does anyone know how to get the JSON payload out to a webservice in an alert? I tried the following but it sends nothing (presumed the required objects could be left blank to send everything?):
