Process Bulk Images

We provide scripts that you can use to process images in a local folder or from an FTP server. The scripts require Python 3 to work. Check here for the Python installation guide.

Images are in a Local Folder

1. Download plate_recognition.py into a folder
2. Install dependencies by running this command pip install requests==2.27.1 Pillow==8.3.2
3. Run script plate_recognition.py -a MY_API_KEY /path/to/vehicle-*.jpg
4. For additional run examples, view the documentation by running this command python plate_recognition.py --help

Images are on an FTP Server

This script connects to an FTP Server and periodically downloads the images. They are then processed by Snapshot. Both Snapshot on premise and Snapshot cloud are supported.

1. Download plate_recognition.py and ftp_processor.py into a folder
2. Install dependencies by running this command pip install requests==2.27.1 Pillow==8.3.2
3. Run script ftp_processor.py --api-key MY_API_KEY --ftp-host host --ftp-user user1 --ftp-password pass
4. For additional run examples, view the documentation by running this command python ftp_processor.py --help

Sending Images to our FTP Server

If you are using Snapshot cloud, you can upload images directly to our FTP server. They will automatically be processed. To enable this service, visit our start page.
