Read Analog meters (water, gas, electricity) - with Computer Vision

You can Build Computer Vision software to DETECT and TRACK any Object.

In this video, I'm going to show you how you can create an Analog meter reader with computer vision. This can be a very good alternative when for reasons that can be costs, time restrictions, or anything that doesn't allow you to have a digital meter.

great video thank you for sharing

[@mohammadaliavazpour3268]

Thank you 😃

[@martintorres5829]

Very good video!!!! thanks for share these excellent project

[@gplgomes]

One simple way to read the red pointer is to make a circle mask and then filter only the red color. Then it is easy to find its angle and so the measure.

I always wanted to learn some python and I think this is a perfect set of small project to boost motivation :) Thanks man!

[@gplgomes]

Very interesting project because in many cases it is more cheaper just look and read a existing analog meter instead replace it with a digital one plus the interface to a computer.

Loved your 4 year old video too, finding lines with open CV and Hough, left you a message there. Great video series, Thanks

Share the link to that video

Super video. I could be great if you could explain how to train a model that could read my analogic meter and the special digit of my meter.

[@aldissmans3859]

Is there a service available where it is possible to connect with the ESp32 camera and set all the parameters, as in the constructor...and it is possible to transfer the data using mqtt thingspeak?😊

[@nicoarasamuel1173]

One of the reason that you will want to do that is that you live in Romania, and all meters are mechanical, and you want to build yourself an app to keep track and also to give the reading to suppliers so that they would know to bill you....

[@NicolasVDN]

Super vidéo!
Just one question: with what would you attach the camera to the analog ?
Thanks a lot.

[@ajarivas72]

With a support

[@vincentalexander1492]

can i have the code?

[@gplgomes]

One day I had a idea that it was possible to show the level from a tank using a camara instead a traditional level meter. It was only a ideia.

[@ajarivas72]

Go for it. I already did that. The computer controls the water inlet and shut the valve off when the tank is full

Vabbè Sergio ma che telecamera usi per catturare l immagine ? Dovrà essere sempre alimentata o esiste qualcosa che va a batteria?
