There are a large number of different approaches to vehicle tracking currently available. In this report we look at different problems faced when tracking vehicles, such as background subtraction and vehicle recognition, and look at possible solutions to these. We present a layered approach to vehicle tracking, which includes the use of background subtraction based on a statistical colour model...

The Automatic Number Plate Recognition is a system which is designed to help in recognition of number plates of vehicle. The purpose of designing this system is to develop security system. This system performs the various functions like number plate detection of vehicles, then processing them and using the processed data for storing and allows the vehicle to enter or reject the vehicle. This sy...

We present the first experimental evidence to our knowledge that ingroup relations attenuate core disgust and that this helps explain the ability of groups to coact. In study 1, 45 student participants smelled a sweaty t-shirt bearing the logo of another university, with either their student identity (ingroup condition), their specific university identity (outgroup condition), or their personal...

previous reports showed that elevated levels of glucocorticoids following morphine withdrawal play an important role in memory impairment. in addition, glucocorticoid receptor (gr) inhibitors improved memory perfor-mance in morphine withdrawal mice. since mineralocorticoid receptor (mr) and grs complement each other, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of spironolactone on ...

In this work we present a feature bundling technique that aggregates individual local features with features from their spatial neighborhood into bundles. The resulting bundles carry more information of the underlying image content than single visual words. As in practice an exact search for such bundles is infeasible, we employ a robust approximate similarity search with min-hashing in order t...

Traffic management and security issues have become all pervasive in today’s environment. In order to regulate traffic it is necessary to identify vehicles with their registration plates. Vehicle license plate recognition technology has helped in vehicle identification, theft prevention, speed regulation, and various other traffic management concerns. With the introduction of high security regis...

Vehicle License Plate Detection (LPD) is an important step for the vehicle plate recognition which can be used in the intelligent transport systems. Many methods have been proposed for the detection of license plates based on: Mathematical morphology, Discrete Wavelet Transform, Hough Transform and others. In general, an LPR system includes four main parts: Vehicle image acquisition, license pl...

In this paper, we propose a method for recognition of road markings from in-vehicle camera images. A road marking in in-vehicle camera images has a variety of appearance due to the change of position and distance between the camera and the road marking, blur effect, and so on. Therefore, accurate recognition of road markings becomes difficult in real environment. Our method generates numerous l...
