Feature Request: (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) ANPR , additional video source. #61

Hi Claude,

Sorry if this is already implemented, for ALPR, can we use dual video feed one for the primary view which is the view of vehicle from side.

And another for ALPR purpose a front view feed.?

I previously thought of adding a multi camera feature (two or more RPI's) to my pi-timolo project to allow multiple images to be taken at the same time then auto stitched to produce larger landscape time lapse sequences or stereo vision. Was thinking of using pigpio remote feature https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/remote_gpio.html so second camera could be triggered remotely at the same time via wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or a hard wired gpio connection. This allows file naming and saving to be controlled as well as post image file transfer and processing (stitching)

Your idea for speed camera could be implemented in a similar way but there are a few issues since it takes time for the gpio connection to trigger it might be better to have a second camera stream. capture the second image or sequence from video stream since it takes time for rpi or web camera to warm up. Steam images are not as good a quality as stills. Will take a look at your idea. Claude ..

Hi Claude,

This is a very cool project you have done. I would like to add a feature request if you are able to someday implement it 👍

As the primary video feed is facing the side view of vehicles. the feature request is to add an additional video source (for front view) where the second video source can be of a camera placed facing the front of the vehicles movement.

And every-time a picture is stored from the primary video, a picture could be stored from the front-view camera feed as well.

This can then be enhanced further to have (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) ANPR capabilities as well.
