...ABSTRACT Barcode License Plate Recognition (BLPR) is a system capable of recognising number plates by scanning their barcodes for various different uses. A sophisticated barcode reader and algorithm converts the barcodes, into identifiable data. This allows the capture of critical information such as the registration of every vehicle entering a site or crossing the red light at traffics. This information can be passed to the police to assist in the pursuit and identification of contraventions. Visual proof of traffic contraventions with the corresponding time and date information can be provided as evidence and to avoid disputes. Using information supplied by the Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), because of our approved operator status, it is possible to identify the registered keeper of a vehicle and process the contravention automatically. The BLPR is to help eradicate road accidents on our roads which has become a headache to the government since all efforts are proving futile. It is been developed with Visual Basic.Net and Structured Query Language(SQL) Server using the Waterfall model. All data gathered by the BLPR system is stored in a database for future analysis and reporting. This project will provide an efficient way of combating crime and making the work of the MTTU easier. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Our greatest and foremost thanks goes to God the Almighty Father. To Him be the glory for the great things he has done. It is just by His grace and guidance that...

...Character Recognition or OCR is the electronic translation of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine translated images. It is widely used to recognize and search text from electronic documents or to publish the text on a website. The paper presents a survey of applications of OCR in different fields and further presents the experimentation for three important applications such as Captcha, Institutional Repository and Optical Music Character Recognition. We make use of an enhanced image segmentation algorithm based on histogram equalization using genetic algorithms for optical character recognition. The paper will act as a good literature survey for researchers starting to work in the field of optical character recognition. Index Terms— Genetic algorithm, bimodal images, Captcha, institutional repositories and digital libraries, optical music recognition, optical character recognition. I. INTRODUCTION Highlight in 1950’s [1], applied throughout the spectrum of industries resulting into revolutionizing the document management process. Optical Character Recognition or OCR has enabled scanned documents to become more than just image files, turning into fully searchable documents with text content recognized by computers. Optical Character Recognition extracts the relevant information and automatically enters it into electronic database instead of the conventional way of manually retyping the text. Optical Character Recognition is a vast field with a number of varied...

...various positions of newspaper. He was then tired of addressing newspapers to subscribers with pen and ink, so he invented several machines, which could be helpful for newspaper, such as the machine that would do the task using preset type and a treadle, and a machine that consecutively numbered railway tickets and bank notes. From 1820s, there were already some engineers who invented various machines that could be defined as typewriter, but they were slower than handwriting, used dial rather than the keys and didn’t go into commercial use until 1868. A design called cast plate, which would be adjusted to bring the desired letter into position and a hammer would force paper against the plate, inspired him to re-invent typewriter. It took only a week to determine the basic premise of his typing machine. A single letter of type, carved onto a short metal bar could be made to strike upward against a glass plate. The first model came out with the help of a draftsman called Glidden and a civil engineer called Samuel Soule. It only typed the letter "W", but its basic design would become the trio's first typing machine. They made a workable prototype, which was built by the fall of 1867. The invention of typewriter contributed to the blooming of capitalism and inspired the development of industrial, mechanical, computer...

Video technology requires a substantial up- front investment costs for the purchase and installation of equipment and training of staff. Due to the complexity of video systems and the rapid pace of change related to this technology, agencies may overlook some applications while using resources to implement less valuable applications. [3] Over the last few years there has been a growing interest in Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA), to solve the problem of exceeding the speed limits. ISA has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of road trauma in many countries all over the world.

...Resent trends of banking system in India 1. Introduction The economy can be divided in the entire spectrum of economic activity into the real and monetary sectors. The real sector is where production takes place while the monetary sector supports this production and in a way is the means to the end. We know and we accept the financial system is critical to the working of the rest of the economy. In fact, the Asian crisis of the nineties, or for that matter what happened in Latin America and Russia subsequently and also Dubai Crisis have shown how a fragile financial sector can wreak havoc on the rest of the economy. Therefore the banking sector is crucial and we want to express our views to explore how this sector can work in harmony with the real sector to achieve the desired objectives. The Banking sector has been immensely benefited from the implementation of superior technology during the recent past, almost in every nation in the world. Productivity enhancement, innovative products, speedy transactions seamless transfer of funds, real time information system, and efficient risk management are some of the advantage derived through the technology. Information technology has also improved the efficiency and robustness of business processes across banking sector. India's banking sector has made rapid strides in reforming and aligning itself to the new competitive business environment. Indian banking industry is the midst of an IT revolution.

...vehicles — 30% of them more than 20 years old — now ply the city streets. Geography conspires with human activity to produce a poisonous scenario. Located in the crater of an extinct volcano, Mexico City is about 2,240 meters above sea level. The lower atmospheric oxygen levels at this altitude cause incomplete fuel combustion in engines and higher emissions of carbon monoxide and other compounds. Intense sunlight turns these into higher than normal smog levels. In turn, the smog prevents the sun from heating the atmosphere enough to penetrate the inversion layer blanketing the city. Because of this and the extreme number of vehicles on the road Mexico City implemented “Hoy No Circula”. Hoy no Circula was started in late 1989, and consisted of prohibiting the circulation of 20% of vehicles from Monday to Friday depending on the last digit of their license plates (see table). The program was planned to apply only during the winter, when air pollution is at its worst. Winter follows the rainy season when thermal inversion, an atmospheric condition which traps smog and pollution close to the ground, increases air...
