I've always wanted to put a camera outside my house and record all the cars that pass on the street, maybe do some license plate detection "vision" stuff. Basically have my own citizen's traffic cam. I'd love the idea of a citizen held Government Information Bureau where you could publish such information.



That's the best idead I believe I've ever heard. Is there any open source computer vision software that's designed to read license plates?
