Sensing, Capturing, Sending To Website

The document describes a Python code that uses a Raspberry Pi with an ultrasonic sensor and Pi camera to capture images of passing vehicles. It uses OpenCV, Tesseract, and requests to process images, perform OCR on license plates, and send data to a website. Functions are defined to capture images, perform OCR, and send data. The main loop continuously checks the ultrasonic sensor and triggers these functions when a vehicle is detected.

Below is a Python code that utilizes a Raspberry Pi with an ultrasonic


sensor and a Pi camera to capture images of vehicles passing by. It uses OpenCV for
image processing, Tesseract for OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and requests
module for sending data to a website.

Make sure you have OpenCV ( cv2), Tesseract ( pytesseract), and requests ( requests)
installed on your Raspberry Pi. You can install them using pip:

pip install opencv-python pytesseract requests

Here's the code:

import cv2

import numpy as np

import pytesseract

import requests

from time import sleep

# Initialize ultrasonic sensor

# Assume you have connected the ultrasonic sensor and configured it properly

# Function to capture image using Pi camera

def capture_image():

camera = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

return_value, image = camera.read()

cv2.imwrite('vehicle_image.jpg', image)

del(camera)
# Function to perform OCR on the captured image

def ocr_image(image_path):

img = cv2.imread(image_path)

gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Apply any additional preprocessing steps here if required

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(gray)

return text

# Function to send data to website

def send_to_website(license_plate):

url = "YOUR_WEBSITE_URL"

payload = {'license_plate': license_plate}

response = requests.post(url, data=payload)

if response.status_code == 200:

print("Data sent successfully!")

else:

print("Failed to send data. Status code:", response.status_code)

# Main loop

while True:

# Assuming the ultrasonic sensor triggers when a vehicle is within a certain range

# You need to implement the code to check the ultrasonic sensor and trigger
accordingly
if ultrasonic_sensor_trigger():

print("Vehicle detected!")

capture_image()

plate_text = ocr_image('vehicle_image.jpg')

print("Detected license plate:", plate_text)

send_to_website(plate_text)

sleep(2) # Delay to avoid multiple detections from the same vehicle

In this code:

 The capture_image() function captures an image using the Pi camera and saves
it as 'vehicle_image.jpg'.
 The ocr_image() function performs OCR on the captured image using Tesseract
and returns the text recognized.
 The send_to_website() function sends the recognized license plate text to a
website. Replace 'YOUR_WEBSITE_URL' with the actual URL where you want
to send the data.
 The main loop continuously checks the ultrasonic sensor. When it detects a
vehicle, it captures an image, performs OCR, sends the license plate data to
the website, and then waits for a short delay to avoid multiple detections from
the same vehicle.
