New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module

Hoping someone running the YOLO11 .NET stack can spot what I'm missing. My plate detection works perfectly but the ALPR OCR read never gets called, so I never get plate numbers.


Setup:


  • CodeProject.AI Server 2.9.5
  • Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) 1.4.0
  • License Plate Recognition (YOLO11 .NET) 1.1.1
  • Blue Iris (current)
  • GTX 1070, DirectML — both modules confirmed running on GPU
  • ALPR set to "This AI server" (NOT Plate Recognizer cloud)

What works:


  • Feeding a plate image directly into CodeProject.AI Explorer → License Plate Recognition reads it correctly (e.g. "BSV7099" at 96%). So the ALPR module itself works.
  • In Blue Iris, using custom model license-plate-v5, an ROI zone, detection is solid: CPAI logs show Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) command 'custom' ['Found DayPlate'] reliably, fast (30-50ms), often 90%+ confidence.

The problem:


  • After "Found DayPlate," the alpr command never fires. There is no License Plate Recognition ... command 'alpr' line in the CPAI logs on live triggers — only the custom/DayPlate detection. So the plate location is found, but it's never sent to the ALPR reader for OCR. HA/webhook gets an empty plate every time.

Relevant BI AI settings:


  • "Confirm alerts with AI" ✓
  • Custom object models: license-plate-v5 ✓
  • "License plates" ✓
  • "To confirm": DayPlate,NightPlate,car,truck
  • Default object detection ✓

Screenshot (128).pngScreenshot (129).pngScreenshot (130).pngScreenshot (131).pngScreenshot (132).pngWith the YOLO11 .NET ObjectDetection + ALPR modules, what actually triggers the ALPR read after a DayPlate detection? What BI setting bridges "found the plate location" → "run ALPR OCR on it"? Detection is clearly working; the OCR call just never happens.


Thanks!

Yeah, I haven't figured that out either. But i am on Yolo10....
But I did not dig deep. If I really need the plate for a LEO i can scroll back and get it for up to 3-4 weeks.
I see in my AI object inspector on the clips playback it will populate a plate # if it get's a semi-decent read on it.
I'd need a larger %age of the total cam image to help it get a higher %age of plates.
Been quiet over here this year.
The Drug heads associated with the Apartments haven't been parking on our side of the street.
Haven't seen as much of the 1 man Crack/meth parties much since we got the back yard light.
I may be too much of a fossil to work out the ALPR.
I'm looking at your settings and adopting a couple things
I can't remember how to bring in yolo11 from yolo10....

I just followed what I seen in the first screenshot of this entire thread
