Feature request: Ignore plates on parked cars

[deez2009]

Sometimes cars are park within view of our LPR cameras, which often causes the plate to be read when a vehicles pass. This creates a lot of entries in the database, and inflates the read count, and sometimes the OCR is off, so it creates a bit of a mess of similar plates where 1 or 2 digits are off.

Suggestion:

Add a feature that can be enabled to look at the incoming plate data from CPAI, and check against the last X entries to see if it is already in the database. Look at the bounding box coordinates to verify that it's a parked vehicle. If it is already in the database, and the feature is enabled, then do not add the plate, and add a log entry that a parked vehicle with plate ZZZZZZ has been ignored.

Config parameters:

Feature enabled = Y/N
Recent entry check = X (number of plates to check in database, e.g., 5 = check the last 5 plates to see if it's already there)

Having this feature allows the LPR camera to be aimed in a less restrictive manner since the database will ignore dups automatically.

Thanks!
