Objectives: To present a Smart Energy Meter (SEM) that reduces errors effectively while generating the electricity bill. Methods: This SEM confluence of modern technology and existing electrical architecture, yet it is low-cost device suitable for Indian environment. The proposed only incorporated with current sensor other associated circuitry. Findings: A quantitative comparison between our SE...

Reading a rotary dial utility meter can be difficult and, more importantly, inaccurate. This paper has developed a computationally efficient method to read a rotary dial utility meter via image processing. The method has been developed as an algorithm with the ultimate goal of implementing the system with a microprocessor and inexpensive camera. The algorithm registers successive dial images, s...
