This paper proposes an algorithm that automatically reads license plate from videos that has taken from personal devices. Unlike commonly used license plate reader in toll payment or road control system, video from personal devices usually has more variation in viewing angle, resolution, shutter speed and so on. This work read single frame from video first, then extract the license plate by det...

The results showed that with increasing household size, savings not only dwindled in absolute t...

We explore the e ect of a form of question context on responses to a computer-mediated marketing research survey. As an increasing proportion of marketing research is conducted through computer interfaces, the pool of potential context e ects is rapidly expanding. We conduct an experiment using a multi-item scale that consists of ve dimensions and manipulate three such context e ects: whether a...

in this study, an attempt was made to minimize the corrosion rate and maximize pitting potential of dissimilar metal welded joints of a387-gr91/aisi316 steels. process parameters of the pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding (pcgtaw) including of peak current (p), background current (b), pulse frequency (f), and on time percentage (o) were chosen as the influencing factors on corrosion behavio...

The ratio of the vertical sizes of corresponding features in the two eyes' retinal images depends both on the associated object's distance and on its horizontal direction relative to the head (eccentricity). It is known that manipulations of vertical size ratio can affect perceived distance, size, depth and shape. We examined how observers use the vertical size ratio to determine the viewing di...

Scale invariance refers to aspects of visual perception that remain constant with changes in viewing distance. Previously, Dakin and Herbert [Proc. Roy. Soc. B. 265 (1397) (1998) 659] reported that the spatial integration region (IR) for mirror symmetry in bandpass noise is scale invariant because its dimensions scale with the inverse of peak spatial frequency. In bandpass noise, however, peak ...

Data on body weight, height, and sitting height from 11,496 adult males, age 18-62 years, belonging to 38 different populations of five major social groups (scheduled tribes, scheduled castes, "other backward castes," general castes, and Muslims) of Central India were taken for our analysis to assess the nutritional status of these groups. Cormic index and body mass index (BMI) were computed, a...
