Predator Volume

A variant of Predator designed to analyze bulk video from third-party dash-cams



Vanilla Predator is a multi-purpose license plate recognition platform designed to be the ultimate dash-cam for technical hobbyists and customers with unique needs. Predator Volume is a modified variant of Predator focused on analyzing bulk pre-recorded video recorded by third-party dash-cams. Predator Volume analyzes all video files in a given directory, and generates JSON files containing ALPR results, GPS locations, and image timestamps. These JSON side-car files can then be queried to gain insight into the results, or used with external software.

Bulk Processing

Predator Volume is designed to comfortably handle large amounts of data, especially from the same source. Simply connect your media, provide the file-path, and let Predator Volume run unattended.

Phantom ALPR

Predator Volume uses the same ALPR engine used by vanilla Predator, meaning you'll benefit from the same reliability, customizability, and fault tolerance.

Offline Capable

Just like vanilla Predator, Predator Volume can run entirely offline, using your local processing power to analyze video.

Frame Perfect

Predator Volume analyzes every single frame in each video, making it possible to detect all plates in a video, even on hardware that would otherwise struggle to run in real-time.

Highly Extensible

The side-car files used by Predator Volume are just simple JSON file. As such, experienced developers can write their own software to interact with the data.

OSD Analysis

Predator Volume can read information directory from the on-screen-display, meaning you don't need to rely on your dash-cam using standard metadata formats.

Downloads

Since this program is written in Python, all of the downloads are identical, per version number. They are only seperated by platform for sake of clarity, and to demonstrate which platforms are compatible. The source code download will give the exact same files as the platforms themselves.
