Precise Automatic Manometer Reader

Automatic Zip Code Reader

Computers excel at performing quantitative and repetitive tasks quickly, but they struggle with qualitative tasks, such as handwriting recognition. This is because it is effectively impossible to program recognition of millions of different handwriting styles into one algorithm. However, with the advent of machine learning, computers can be trained to recognize unknown objects and characters by...

Automatic Reader of Recording Strips

Even if the number of accidents involving the railway system is decreasing due to the technical progress, the statistics are still too high. For instance in 2004 in EU 25, 9309 accidents were reported, including 142 in France [ERA]. For each of these accidents in France, one element can be used as evidence in the eyes of the law: the recording strip and its associated filling-card or the so-cal...

Automatic Identity Card and Passport Reader System

Abstract ICAR, Identity Card Automatic Reader, consists of a system for reading identity cards like passports, identity documents and driver licenses. First, document image is acquired by an own acquisition device based on a digital camera chip. Then, the image is analyzed in order to identify document type among a set of predefined models using local features analysis and text localization. Id...

Integrated Digital Manometer for Lumbar Puncture

U-Tube Manometer Calibration using ANFIS

This paper deals with the implementation of the Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) on a Xilinx based Field Programmable Gate Array Spartan-3E. The implemented hardware is then used to efficiently calibrate the U-Tube manometer, in which the relation between the level of mercury and the Capacitance developed across the Copper Plates of the manometer is highly non-linear. This system s...
