TV logo detection, tracking and removal play an important role in the applications of claiming video content ownership, logo-based broadcasting surveillance, commercial skipping, and program rebroadcasting with new logos. In this paper, we present a novel and robust framework using tensor method for these three tasks. First, we use tensor based generalized gradient and the OTSU binarization alg...

By both increasing the availability of healthy foods and labeling these products with the Choices logo, caterers may facilitate employees to make a healthier choice in their worksite cafeterias. The aim of this study was to explore which attributes influence the implementation of the Choices logo in worksite cafeterias in the Netherlands. Questionnaires were completed by catering managers of 31...

In order to further improve the whole vehicle economy of a novel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), considering two main factors, which are the driving working conditions and the driving distance, influencing the whole vehicle economy, a control strategy based on fuzzy self-adaptive online recognition is provided. A fuzzy working condition recognition algorithm is designed to online recogn...

Recognition of vehicle license plates is an important task that can be applied for a myriad of real scenarios. Most approaches in the literature first detect an on-track vehicle, locate the license plate, perform a segmentation of its characters and then recognize them using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) approach. However, these approaches focus on performing these tasks using only a s...

The vehicle license plate recognition system has greater efficiency for vehicle monitoring in automatic zone access control. This Plate recognition system will avoid special tags, since all vehicles possess a unique registration number plate. A number of techniques have been used for car plate characters recognition. This system uses neural network character recognition and pattern matching of ...

This work deals with problematic from field of artificial intelligence, machine vision and neural networks in construction of an automatic number plate recognition system (ANPR). This problematic includes mathematical principles and algorithms, which ensure a process of number plate detection, processes of proper characters segmentation, normalization and recognition. Work comparatively deals w...

During the past decade, the world is becoming more and more an information driven society. Information and communication technologies represent a large fraction of the economy and are being used almost everywhere. Sometimes there is a tendency for thinking that technology can cause harm to kids when used and abused from very early ages. However, if properly used, technology can help children to...
