Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

[MikeLud1]

Hi @MikeLud1 , I have a specific case where I want to read numbers from the display and add them to the alert list just like LPR. I use ALPR in BI and it is reading the license plates with success. I tried to use ALPR for my use case and it is not working though it should read the numbers. CPAI has a module called OCR. That module does the job. Is there any way I can setup OCR in CPAI to do what I am looking for with BI? Attached are examples of what I have. Thanks.

I have seen several people ask about having just OCR. It would be best to ask Blue Iris to have an OCR option that sends the imager to the OCR module.

@MikeLud1 , just updated to 2.65 and realzied I never set up my LPR. The first page of this thread shows this as the suggested setup:



But the page prior shows you recommending this, is the below snip now the recommended setup? I.e., no DayPlate,NightPlate in the To confirm or Mark as vehicle section, put DoNotCancel in the To cancel section, use "objects:0,alpr" instead of "license-plate", and lastely don't click "Only for confirmed vehicle alerts"?

You can switch to YOLOv8 if you want, I normal use YOLOv5 .NET, I find it to be faster then YOLOv5 6.2 and YOLOv8.
