Module installation and update of the License Plate Recognition (Complete) module🔗

Warning

Only one of the License Plate Recognition modules can be installed on the same server: either License Plate Recognition or License Plate Recognition (Complete).

Warning

The module works only with 64-bit version of Eocortex.

Warning

The module operates only on the CPU.

Installation under Windows OS

This module is external; it is not included in the basic Eocortex distribution package and requires individual installation.

Note

The module must be only installed on the computer with Eocortex Server or Eocortex Standalone application, to which the license plate recognition cameras are bound. The computers with just Eocortex Client application installed do not require installation of the module.

Warning

The module’s version must match the version of Eocortex software installed on a particular computer.

Warning

The installation files must be run under the administrator’s account.

Note

To update the module, it is required to perform the same steps as for the initial installation of the module. After selecting the installation language but prior to launching the installation wizard, the windows offering to uninstall the previous version will appear. It is required to confirm the uninstall. After the uninstall is complete, the module installation wizard will appear.

Before installing the module, it is required to stop all the Eocortex applications running on the computer, and to insert the module protection key in the USB port.

To install the module, it is required to run EocortexAuto Installer_x64.exe file.

It is required to choose the installation language in the opened Select language window.

Note

By default, the module will be installed to C:Program FilesEocortexAuto folder.

Installation under Linux OS

This module is external, meaning that it is not a part of the main distribution kit of Eocortex and needs to be installed separately.

Note

It is required to install the module exclusively on a computer that already has the Eocortex Server application installed; this computer must have the cameras for license plate recognition bound to it.

Warning

The module’s version has to be the same as the version of Eocortex installed on the given computer.

Compatible Linux distributions:

  • Debian 10

  • Ubuntu 20.04

Warning

Operability on other Linux distributions is not guaranteed.

To enhance the accuracy of license plate recognition the module provides a few features based on neural network technologies. Due to the necessity to install additional libraries to support these features, and their use increases the load on the server, the module has two types of distribution packages:

  • eocortex-plate: complete installation package containing all the additional libraries needed for neural network features.

  • eocortex-plate-non-dnn: installation package without support for neural network features.

Regardless of the selected package, the module installs in the standard way from the repository.

Debian and Ubuntu

Online installation of the module with neural network features
