A device may receive frames of a video capturing an analog meter with a dial and a needle, may process the frames to identify a center, a radius, and a perimeter of the dial, and may determine calibrated values for the dial. The device may apply a model to one of the frames to create a base mask, may apply thresholding for a dynamic HSV bounding value, to the base mask and the frames, to create masked frames, and may identify contours for the masked frames. The device may identify a quantity of points for each of the contours, may estimate angles of the needle of the analog meter based on the quantity of points, and may average the estimated angles to determine an averaged needle angle. The device may determine a needle direction based on the averaged needle angle and may calculate a meter reading.
