Is there a way to detect license plates in home assistant locally? Codeproject.ai is not capable of running on HAOS it seems, so cant use that.
#License plate detection locally?

I think code project is the main way, ALPR will be built in to Frigate 0.16

Oh that will probably take a while but il then wait for that instead, good news!
Because people can fool a license plate easily il probably add a small ups logo on the car of us as well, or something. So that frigate needs to detect that as well in order to open the garage door 😄

Codeproject for ALPR has been underwhelming for me. Platerecognizer does a decent job, and can run locally, but requires a subscription

usually better to do some sort of geofence so it only works when you have been away and returned

yeah I was kind of amazed how well the Frigate implementation is working compared to my old codeproject setup, it just uses PaddleOCR but apparently a different model than codeproject does

Awesome, can't wait to try it out

is it a external service?
that we need to subscribe to to use with frigate?

hmm, you mean combine it with approx location data on our phones?
i was thinking to simply use a sticker of UPS on the side of the car. or a animal. Then once frigate sees the side of the car as a animal or UPS etc, a countdown of approx 5 seconds starts. If in those 5 seconds the license plate is detected, open the garage door. Seems pretty fool proof 😄
Then no one can print a license plate and paint our letters on it and fool the system.
it wont work until at a specific spot/zone in a camera corner, it detects this animal or UPS logo.
then our phones can be dead and it will still work. no need for a external connection.
i suppose this way even works without license plate detection. if car is detected straight after this logo or animal has been detected.

is it a external service?
No, it’s just a feature built in

face recognition has already been implemented as well

face recognition has already been implemented as well
Already? For this version?
bleak galleon
0.16
stray shale
Ah. Can there anything be done to prove a face or license plate is the real deal?
Probably not. Its why phones make a 3d scan, but require additional hardware for that
bleak galleon
right

face recognition has already been implemented as well
Which model is it based on?
bleak galleon
Using facenet-512 right now

Is 0.16 in a usable state? I can't wait to try the facial recognition and the 0.15 beta is already too stable for me 🙂
bleak galleon
It is no less stable, face recognition / ALPR does not have a UI though so you will have to configure it by config and upload images using something like postman or curl
rare torrent
I can do that. Are there any docs?
