New Method for Optimization of License Plate Recognition system with Use of Edge Detection and Connected Component

License Plate recognition plays an important role on the traffic monitoring and parking management systems. In this paper, a fast and real time method has been proposed which has an appropriate application to find tilt and poor quality plates. In the proposed method, at the beginning, the image is converted into binary mode using adaptive threshold. Then, by using some edge detection and morphology operations, plate number location has been specified. Finally, if the plat has tilt, its tilt is removed away. This method has been tested on another paper data set that has different images of the background, considering distance, and angel of view so that the correct extraction rate of plate reached at 98.66%.Comment: 3rd IEEE International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE 2013), October 31 & November 1, 2013, Ferdowsi Universit Mashha

Towards Arabic Alphabet and Numbers Sign Language Recognition

This paper proposes to develop a new Arabic sign language recognition using Restricted Boltzmann Machines and a direct use of tiny images. Restricted Boltzmann Machines are able to code images as a superposition of a limited number of features taken from a larger alphabet. Repeating this process in deep architecture (Deep Belief Networks) leads to an efficient sparse representation of the initial data in the feature space. A complex problem of classification in the input space is thus transformed into an easier one in the feature space. After appropriate coding, a softmax regression in the feature space must be sufficient to recognize a hand sign according to the input image. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt that tiny images feature extraction using deep architecture is a simpler alternative approach for Arabic sign language recognition that deserves to be considered and investigated

A NOVEL OCCLUSION SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION

[[abstract]]Sign language plays an important role in communicate with changers that hearing improved. However, the sign language in many countries and areas different and auto recognition system became the research way in recent year. In this paper, we devise a novel method for occlusion processing in Taiwan Sign Language recognition system. Our method employs adxl345 and Kinect to extract the feature of signer. Then the features are regulated by the dictionary of sparse coding. In final, the HMM model and result signs are recognized from the features that corrected by our method. In experimental result, we present the data that our employ. Then we describe closing test result and future work.[[sponsorship]]National Taipei University[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]20150718~20150719[[booktype]]電子版[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]Tokyo, Japa

Advances in Image Processing, Analysis and Recognition Technology

For many decades, researchers have been trying to make computers’ analysis of images as effective as the system of human vision is. For this purpose, many algorithms and systems have previously been created. The whole process covers various stages, including image processing, representation and recognition. The results of this work can be applied to many computer-assisted areas of everyday life. They improve particular activities and provide handy tools, which are sometimes only for entertainment, but quite often, they significantly increase our safety. In fact, the practical implementation of image processing algorithms is particularly wide. Moreover, the rapid growth of computational complexity and computer efficiency has allowed for the development of more sophisticated and effective algorithms and tools. Although significant progress has been made so far, many issues still remain, resulting in the need for the development of novel approaches
