@ComputerVisionEngineer Hey ! what is included in the course: Hands-on Computer Vision in the Cloud: Building an AWS-based Real Time Number Plate Recognition System, can we detect and extract license plate from video ? Will it work now? Is there any facility of help in case we face some problem. And how is that course different from this video

[@MrXemiu]

Can cars and license plates be annotated in the same image and assigned different classes, or are the datasets for the car and license plate detection models distinct? I have a similar project in mind, but I'm not sure the correct way to annotate images to first detect objects of a class, then detect objects of a different class within the detected object. Any advice is appreciated!

Is there a way to measure the speed of the car? In theory, I could imagine a solution to draw 2 lines and compute the distance/time with time = the subtraction between the time when the vehicle contacts line 1 and the time when the vehicle contacts line 2. However, this way only measures the speed at a determined area. It's kind of limited.

Yeah something like that would work. It would not be a perfect solution, but it would be a good estimate.

Hello, first of all, thank you for all the information and dedication you share on your excellent channel. I want to ask you what you recommend to make an application for the detection and recognition of Car License Plates/License Plates/Patents (ANPR) of a WEB camera or a standard video surveillance camera for a development board of medium capacity but in real time such as to give access to cars at a door or barrier (night lighting may be adequate). With the following options and know which one you recommend (if you have any other, welcome the suggestion) - Development board: Raspberry Pi, Google Coral, ASUS Thinker Edge, Jetson Nano, etc. - Programming Language: Python, C++, Java, .Net, Nod.js, etc. - Libraries and/or Framework / tools: Yolo, OpenCV, OCR, preferably not Cloud - To train the model that you would recommend, or if there is already one that can be purchased for my case - I am in Mexico and the license plates would only be from the country

[@MrFedeghe]

Excelente! Una consulta , el modelo preentrenado hay que volverlo a entrenar con el dataset? y si es asi hay que ver el otro video para entrenar el modelo? el codigo funciona pero no genera los csv porque no esta reconociendo las patentes. Saludos.

Hello Computer Vission Engineer , i just want to ask if there are something you recommend to replace openCV in my project? Because im using IP cam as real time video and it cant support high resolution of the ip cam, it so lag and fps drop and crash after a mins. But if i try to reduce resolution to 720p and 10 fps it work fine. I think openCV has a problem in high resolution IP cam. And do you have also recommend for o.s?

Hello, OpenCV is usually a very efficient image processing library, it would be hard to find another library that works better in terms of performance, but you can try with Pillow and scikit-image. 🙌

Please take a look at the project's repository, but it is based on Yolov8, EasyOCR and SORT if remember correctly. The license plate detection will work most likely, in order to read the number you will need to adjust some functions defined in util.py, format_license and license_complies_format. 🙌

Hey, for each license we will have missing values in those frames where we don't detect the license plate, or where the number plate we get doesn't comply with our format. So we compute those missing frames by interpolated the data from the closest available frames. 💪

From where can we get the licence plate model plz

[@user-fw4hy5ec4l]

wouldn't be better if you firstly searched for bounding boxes of the vehicles, then get a cropped img for eachvehicle (you would get the cropped img from the vehicle's bbox) and then try to find the licence plate in the cropped image?

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Hey, I tried that approach, although it sounds like the most efficient solution, by taking a look at the video you can see most of the cars don't have their license plates visible, so the license plate detection on the car crops would be empty in most cases, so it ends up being a very inefficient approach for this particular video. 🙌

[@user-fw4hy5ec4l]

@@ComputerVisionEngineer i see... maybe you could solve this issue by putting a mask on the img so the model would only search for cars in that specific area and continue when no plate was found on a car

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

@@user-fw4hy5ec4l sure, that is another approach that may work! Let me know how it goes! 🙌

[@disarmo.oficial]

hello @@ComputerVisionEngineer in my country is a big issue car with no plates, do you have any suggestions to detect cars with no plates at all. If you like I can share (for free) my pt model deeply trained to detect Chilean plates.

Hey Felipe, will this software work on PC that are equipped with only Integrated Graphics?

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Hey, do you mean a CPU? Yes, no GPU is needed, you can run it in a CPU.

@@ComputerVisionEngineer No I mean't I have a laptop that has integrated Graphics card i.e Intel Iris which comes pre-attached with CPU chip.

Great, tutorial Can you make a tutorial about drowsiness detection of drivers?

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Thank you! Sure, I will try to do it. 💪

How can I use this for a react native mobile app

Great tutorial

Hello Thank you for your tutorial Can you tell me what is your workstation configuration? Like gpu and cpu ram .... ?

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Hey, I use my local computer for general purpose tasks and the cloud for training large machine learning models. These are the specs of my local computer: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz Iris Plus Graphics G7 16 GB ram

Thank you a lot for your response I appreciate it 🙏

Please make next video on person re-identification and tracking using non overlapping cctv cameras using yolov7 or yolov8. I have been trying to make it since 2 weeks, but I am having difficulties in it, so plz help me.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

I will try to do a video like that in the future., 🙌
