Current version: v1.0b (released 05.03.2017)

dialEye is an application to read rotary utility meter dials using image recognition. A cheap webcam mounted to capture utility meter face can be used to read the rotary dial meter values (determines readings of the dial needles).

The application is developed in Python programming language.

See the usage help for details about command line options. See the dialEye HOWTO and dialEye.conf file (delivered with the package) comments for configuring dialEye. See FAQ before asking the author for support. See the changelog for information about current and former release changes as well as the application future wishlist.

Requirements

Requirements for running the application are:

• Python series 2 interpreter 2.4 or newer (Python version 3 not supported) (www.python.org)
• Python Imaging Library (www.pythonware.com/products/pil/)
