First-install notes

  • Use CPU OpenCL if you have no GPU If you are not using a graphics card, install the PoCL OpenCL runtime on your Linux server before starting the app. OpenCL is the software that helps the app use your CPU, and without it the app may not find a usable device. source
  • Add Nvidia OpenCL for GPU speed If you have an Nvidia GPU, install the matching Nvidia driver and OpenCL runtime on your Linux server before starting the app. If this is missing, GPU acceleration will not work and processing can be much slower. source
  • Intel CPUs may need a special runtime If you are using an Intel CPU, follow the Intel OpenCL install steps so your server can find the CPU runtime. This helps avoid missing-device errors when the app tries to start. source

Common questions

How do I submit an image to open-alpr-http-wrapper for detection?

Send an HTTP POST with image data to the /detect endpoint. It returns JSON results from the attempted detection.

Which services must run in a minimal Plate-Minder deployment that uses open-alpr-http-wrapper?

A minimal Plate-Minder setup requires the plate-minder and open-alpr-http-wrapper services. A plate-minder-web service is optional for setup help.

Where does Plate-Minder store captured images and data when using open-alpr-http-wrapper?

Captured images and data are placed in the ./data folder.

What gotcha is reported for the OpenALPR CLI on a Raspberry Pi 4?

One user manually compiled OpenALPR for armv7 because no prebuilt repository was found.
