Here's a video of exactly what i want to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_M_skebbpA&list=PLB3DEB58A876F4262 . I am doing it on android. But anything similar will be great. Are there any similar open Source projects that I can start from?

Thanks

could you be a bit more clear on what you really want ? i.e, looking for number plates might be a different task than detecting cars (you can do one thing without the other)

Here's the situation: The phone is fixed on the windshield. When a car is detected I want to save the image. This will be followed by trying to extract the license plate number. For now I am just searching for the first part (i.e. saving the image when a car is detected)

have a look here (btw, that's the actual free-to-read chapter from the book.)

also, while you can try to detect the car first, it is not mandatory to do so.

I already have a functional licence plate number extractor. My app is currently taking a picture every 5 secs. This is not smart since most pictures taken don't have cars in them ! My problem is I want to run the camera in sort of "video mode" and save frames that only contain cars. So all I am asking for is a code/tutorial that would return some variable or interrupt that would trigger the camera to save the frame when a car comes into the scene. I hope this clarifies my question
