This project will focus on the design of algorithms used for extracting the license plate from a single image, isolating the characters of the plate and identifying the plate region. This section presents a method for extracting license plates based on the Hough t rans form . The algorithms were developed using a set o f t r a i n i n g i m a g e s , a n d t e s t e d o n images taken under var...

In this paper we review the theory of multiscale dila-tion-erosion scale-space and the process of feature extraction via morphological scale-space ngerprints. We then discuss the reduced form of the ngerprints and state the scale-space causality theorem. These ngerprints are then applied to the eecient recognition of multiple objects from range data. The proposed recognition system is invariant...

In this paper, the general class of morphological/rank/linear (MRL) multilayer feed-forward neural networks (NNs) is presented as a unifying signal processing tool that incorporates the properties of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) and morphological/rank neural networks (MRNNs). The fundamental processing unit of MRL-NNs is the MRL-"lter, where the combination of inputs in every node is formed by...

Although the hematology of healthy elephants has been well-described, published information on hematological changes during disease is limited. The objective of this study was to describe qualitative morphological changes in the leukocytes of Asian and African elephants (Elephas maximus and Loxodonta africana) diagnosed with a variety of inflammatory conditions. Twenty-five of 27 elephants had ...

State of the art Speech Recognition systems use statistical language modeling and in particular N-gram models to represent the language structure. The Arabic language has a rich morphology, which motivates the introduction of morphological constraints in the language model. Class-based N-gram models have shown satisfactory results, especially for language model adaptation and training from redu...

Is morphology a discrete and independent element of lexical structure or does it simply reflect a fine tuning of the system to the statistical correlation that exists among the orthographic and semantic properties of words? Imaging studies in English failed to show unequivocal morphological activation that is distinct from semantic or orthographic activation. Cognitive research in Hebrew has re...

This eye-tracking study explores visual recognition of Dutch suffixed words (e.g., plaats+ing ‘‘placing”) embedded in sentential contexts, and provides new evidence on the interplay between storage and computation in morphological processing. We show that suffix length crucially moderates the use of morphological properties. In words with shorter suffixes, we observe a stronger effect of full-f...

The main aim of this paper is to develop an efficient interface to track the iris movement and to use this information to control the direction of robotic vehicle. Interacting with real or virtual objects with help of a human eye is gaining popularity. This paper gives information about morphological operations to detect eyeball movement and how we can use it to move a robot in direction of the...

In this paper, a new approach for the recognition and classification of convex objects in color images is presented. It is based on a collaboration between color quantization, mathematical morphology and reflectance estimation from RGB data. This yields a robust algorithm regarding the conditions of illumination, the color sensor used for acquisition, as well as the shape/overlapping ambiguitie...

Skeletons represent a powerful tool for qualitative shape matching because they resume, synthesize and help the understanding both of the object shape and of its topology. The aim of this work is mainly on using the potential strength of skeleton of discrete objects in computer vision and pattern recognition where features of objects are needed for classification. In this paper we propose a met...
