Automating Data Collection & Analysis (feddit.org)

Hello,

I have an idea, but I lack the technical expertise to implement it.

I possess an old gasometer, and I currently document its readings by taking a photograph each month and manually entering the data into a Calc spreadsheet, along with the corresponding dates.

I am hoping to automate this process.

My initial thought is that a system could capture the images automatically, input the data into a database, and then present the information in a user-friendly format on a display.

Would anyone have any suggestions or insights on how to achieve this?

Thx

OpenCV has a lot of tools to help you achieve this but it will take some programming prowess.
