Josh Hawkins b77e6f5ebc Upgrade PaddleOCR models to v4 (rec) and v5 (det) (#18505)
The PP_OCRv5 text detection models have greatly improved over v3. The v5 recognition model makes improvements to challenging handwriting and uncommon characters, which are not necessary for LPR, so using v4 seemed like a better choice to continue to keep inference time as low as possible. Also included is the full dictionary for Chinese character support.

Frigate - NVR With Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

Translation status
English

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator such as a Google Coral or Hailo is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
