I'd like to set up several of these LPRs along the highway that I travel regularly, compile a listing of license plate numbers of law enforcement vehicles (such as the unmarked police cruisers that like to travel it, pull drivers over, and ticket them), have those automatically mapped in a mobile application that's free for everyone to use, and see just how much law enforcment would like it then.
What's good for the goose ...

- bigiain 11y agoI had this running on Android a while back - turns out that back then (~3 years ago) it was _very_ hard to detect and recognise plates far enough away to be of any use. I could make it work for a plate in my target set that was directly in front or behind me, but any further that a few tens of meters away the performance dropped so badly that it was unusable. I suspect a much better job could be done now, with a combination of better cameras in phones, more cpu available to do the processing on newer phones, and I suspect a multicopter brushless camera gimbal to stabilise/aim the camera. (I was very space-limited, since I was testing this on a motorcycle, a car with a better-than-phone-grade machine in it would make the job simpler.)
