Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

[Lieberkind]

Try turning off the use mainstream and in the BI camera status page, what is the KEY value?

Do you want me to turn off main stream in the camera?

 

[wittaj]

No use the mainstream in the camera.

Turn off the Use main stream if available - sometimes that can cause in issue.

I am loving this thread. Thanks Mike. I spent about an hour or so yesterday and it never worked, but I believe the issue is on my configuration. The snapshots that are going into the alert folders are "off time" (a car triggers it, but the jpg that gets saved is eitehr before or after the license plate is out of range). I don't have time to look into it for a while (and this is definately not a mission critical issue for me). I would post my settings, but I uninstalled the ALPR completely for now. The python script in it was causing slightly higher CPU usage than I am comfortable with until I have time to look at it some more. Thanks for everything you're doing Mike!!!!!!!!

The issue with the timing could be the below that was sent to support. Do you have "Burn label mark-up onto alert images" turned off. It is best to use the GPU version of DeepStack if you have a Nvidia GPU, that will drop your CPU usage.

Requested changes sent to Blue Iris Support (Ken) to improve the integration:

• If you turn off Burn label mark-up onto alert images the alert image that is saved is the motion triggered image not the image DeepStack confirmed. Can you please change to the confirmed image

Don't have Nvidia GPU. What should I use of Hardware acc?

 

[Lieberkind]

The issue is with your trigger setting, post screenshot of them, does it show up in the canceled alert.

Where do I find cancelled alerts?

I have a lot af them. But I looks like that they could be used.

Hold down the Ctrl key and double click on the canceled alert and a window will popup showing what DeepStack did

I had "Burn label markup" checked, is that how it should be? I'm not sure if I have an Nvidia GPU or not and I'm not able to check at the moment. Thanks for your help!

Yes for now until Blue Iris address the issue I reported

Did you figure out what the problem are with the plate recognition? Why some plates are recognized and are not?

I am going post V2.2 later today, it might fix some of the issues you are having. It is 2:30 am where I am, I am going to sleep now.

I just posted V2.2 in the first post.

I took a break from my DeepStack Custom Model project and started work on a DeepStackALPR solution. I made a lot of progress on the DeepStackALPR. The solution is API that crops and rotates (if needed) the license plate. Then the API reads all of the characters in the plate and logs the license...

Are you using DeepStackALP, if so how is it working for you?
