Real Time Implementation of a License Plate Location Recognition System Based on Adaptive Morphology

License plate recognition (LPR) by using morphology has the advantage of resistance to brightness changes; high speed processing, and low complexity. However these approaches are sensitive to the distance of the plate from the camera and imaging angle. Various assumptions reported in other works might be unrealistic and cause major problems in practical experiences. In this paper we considered ...

Real-time Forecast of Multiphase Outbreak

We used a single equation with discrete phases to fit the daily cumulative case data from the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak in Toronto. This model enabled us to estimate turning points and case numbers during the 2 phases of this outbreak. The 3 estimated turning points are March 25, April 27, and May 24. The estimated case number during the first phase of the outbreak between...

Real Time Location Systems

Many wireless technologies are used to establish the communication between tags and readers. Most popular ones include WiFi, GPS, Infrared, Bluetooth, and active and passive RFID systems. Table 1 summarizes the differences of these technologies, their prominent features, and the performance that determine their suitability to different applications. There is no “one size fits all” solution when...

Real-Time Safety Risk Assessment Based on a Real-Time Location System for Hydropower Construction Sites

The concern for workers' safety in construction industry is reflected in many studies focusing on static safety risk identification and assessment. However, studies on real-time safety risk assessment aimed at reducing uncertainty and supporting quick response are rare. A method for real-time safety risk assessment (RTSRA) to implement a dynamic evaluation of worker safety states on constructio...
