Revision history [back]

Hi, I am trying develop an android app that can save car plate numbers while the phone is fixed on the windshield. I have done something simple that takes a picture every 5 seconds. But I think this won't be good enough. Thus I want to use openCV to save the images when cars are detected. I have no previous experience with openCV but I am ready to learn and try. I feel that this problem is a hard one in computer vision, since one intuitive way to detect cars is by detecting moving objects. However in my situation my camera is also moving. Are there any open source projects that can accomplish the above or something similar?

Thanks

Update: Here's a video of exactly what i want to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_M_skebbpA&list=PLB3DEB58A876F4262 . Are there any similar open Source projects?

Thanks
