Convert image of a conventional analog (PSI) gauge to digital

Other Hardware Device Hacking

I've seen reference to resources that permit one to use the video input of an analog gauge and converts it to a digital representation of same.

IOW, a video stream of an analog gauge is converted to digital output.

The result is the ability to train a cheap 'camera' (CCD?) on any analog gauge and get text-based output (digital) of whatever the gauge is currently displaying.

I'm hoping someone can point me to the best starting point for such a technique. And alas, in this case, 'me' = someone not yet initiated into the ways the Arduino.

thx

This is not a project suited to the Arduino. Most Arduino's cannot handle images yet alone process them.

Your going to need a system powerful enough to handle computer vision so something like the raspberry pi is going to be your minimum.
A quick google search shows a hackaday project from 2016 but it is very light on details.
