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​
- Download plate_recognition.py into a folder
- Install dependencies by running this command
pip install requests==2.27.1 Pillow==8.3.2
- Run script
plate_recognition.py -a MY_API_KEY /path/to/vehicle-*.jpg
- 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.
- Download plate_recognition.py and ftp_processor.py into a folder
- Install dependencies by running this command
pip install requests==2.27.1 Pillow==8.3.2
- Run script
ftp_processor.py --api-key MY_API_KEY --ftp-host host --ftp-user user1 --ftp-password pass
- 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.
