INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM and CAR PLATE NUMBERING LOGGING AT CHECKPOINTS

[hookes2]

I think I really need to tell you about my projects because I really need help with my projects and I will be very happy if you can help me out.

INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM

I am designing a model and a simulation.

It will be a three way traffic system and there will be cameras at every point where there is a traffic light, there will be cameras. The camera will acquire images of vehicles in traffic and also scan lanes to see where there are vehicles and where there are no vehicles. so the decision of the traffic light will be based on what it is actually seeing unlike the conventional one where decision is based on some kind of 'timing'.

CAR PLATE NUMBERING LOGGING AT CHECKPOINTS

In my school, the security men at the gate usually take and record the license plate number of vehicles and record them in a data book manually. This is usually stressful as there are many vehicles coming into the school.

So I decided that we can develop something that scans the license plate number, processes it, and logs it into a file.

I really don't have a prior knowledge of image processing and I have not embarked on a project like this before.

I don't know how you can be of help to me but I am confident you can be of help to me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy mail, I am very grateful.

Good project and it is very interesting to me but i am also new to labview and eagerly waiting to see reply from other experienced persons.

This sounds like a good project to learn about image acquisition.

Christopher Relf (http://lavag.org/user/181-crelf/) has written a book about this subject. I'm sure he would appreciate a plug for his book. It's probably one of many places you could start.

Thanks for the plug - there's actually a section in it that talks about OCR, and uses licenses plates as an example.
