Frame Capture

[bmccall]

My subdivision is recording license plates on a dedicated license plate capture camera running at 10 imp using motion detection to record to a DVR. Each License plate sequence runs +/- 2 seconds. An actual license plate is present in 3-5 frames per sequence. I am looking for some software to only capture the frames which contain license plates. So far I have not found anything that will do a good job. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Intel have an open source computer vision library (OpenCV) that is ideal for that kind of application (I use it for detecting and measuring blobs of paint sprayed onto a sheet of paper).

The downside is that you need to write your own software to use it.

Alternatively, some kind of character recognition software might help but it would need to be able to read from a video file.
