Anyone thought of having BI use Sighthound API for vehicle recognition?

As title says, have anyone sucessfully done it?

Sighthound has superior object detection and license plate reconition. They also have a cloud API that you basicly send an image to and get the recognised information back.

THAT would be a killer feature in BI.

Unfortunately googling sighthound mostly results in hairy dogs...

At $250, a bit pricey for the average user.
I agree, object detection would be awesome in BI. But, this would raise the price for everyone. Maybe as a add-on for an additional price?

Zonetrigger did this and much more very well. Too bad they didn't keep it up.

I started researching this last night. It looks like Amazon has released a CV API that could accomplish this task for us. Check out this project Build a talking, face-recognizing doorbell for about $100
