In the paper, we combined DSP processor with image processing algorithm and studied the method of water meter character recognition. We collected water meter image through camera at a fixed angle, and the projection method is used to recognize those digital images. The experiment results show that the method can recognize the meter characters accurately and artificial meter reading is replaced ...

Preproduction and current models of the miniature Wright peak flow meter have been compared with the standard Wright peak flow meter on normal and abnormal subjects. Early problems in production appear to have been overcome, and the current model agrees to within 3% with the standard peak flow meter, which is as close as the agreement between two standard instruments. The new mini-meter may be ...

Cooperative interval games are a generalized model of cooperative games in which the worth of every coalition corresponds to a closed interval representing the possible outcomes of its cooperation. Selections are all possible outcomes of the interval game with no additional uncertainty. We introduce new selection-based classes of interval games and prove their characterization theorems and rela...

The integration of high dimensional geo-visualization, geo-data management, geo-process modeling and computation, geospatial analysis, and geo-collaboration is a trend in GIScience. The technical platform that matches the trend forms a new framework unlike that of GIS and is conceptualized in this paper as a collaborative virtual geographic environment (CVGE). This paper focuses on two key issu...

The purpose of this project is to remote monitoring and control of the Domestic Energy meter. This system enables the Electricity Department to read the meter readings regularly without the person visiting each house. This can be achieved by the use of microcontroller unit that continuously monitors and records the Energy Meter readings in its permanent (non-volatile) memory location. This syst...

Geo-tags provide an essential support for organizing and retrieving the rapidly growing online video contents captured by users and shared online. Videos present an unique opportunity for automatic geo-tagging as they combine multiple information sources, i.e., textual metadata, visual and audio cues. This report highlights various approaches (data-driven, semantic technology-based, and graphic...
