In this paper, we propose an improved numeric character recognition method which can recognize numeric characters well under low-illuminated and shade-illuminated environment. The LN(Local Normalization) preprocessing method is used in order to enhance low-illuminated and shade-illuminated image quality. The reading area is detected using line segment information extracted from the illumination...

In this paper we discuss about wireless energy meter reading system along with power on/off circuit. It is a simple system which is used for measuring electrical bills through wireless communication and sends the information regarding consumed power & also send the dead line for paying of electrical bill and the system also having the power on/off circuit used to disconnect the power supply to ...

To improve the scientific and automatic management of power consumption and meet with the intelligentized management of using and providing power, on the basis of modifying inductive watt-hour meter, an intelligent managing system of electric energy based on ST7538 has been developed. The scheme of the intelligent system is put forward, diagram of hardware of the system is provided, we choose V...

Applications in the signal processing technology corresponding to various gauges have been widely popularized exploration. However, there is rarely proposed corresponding to how to employ gauge reader with lower cost but longer distance. M-Bus (Meter-Bus) is an inexpensive solution for widespread networking and remote meter reading for the consumption data collection. This work based on the M-B...

Reading a rotary dial utility meter can be difficult and, more importantly, inaccurate. This paper has developed a computationally efficient method to read a rotary dial utility meter via image processing. The method has been developed as an algorithm with the ultimate goal of implementing the system with a microprocessor and inexpensive camera. The algorithm registers successive dial images, s...

Intelligent and secure automatic energy meters reading and management using mobile agents can be of great importance for municipalities and energy distribution companies so as to efficiently read these meters and to decrease the number of traditional visits required by the energy company, and decreasing the number of employees used in performing this traditional time consuming and high cost wor...

We propose to perform an image-based framework for electrical energy meter reading. Our aim is extract the image region that depicts digits and then recognize them record consumed units. Combining readings of serial numbers units, automatic billing system using Internet Things a graphical user interface deployable in real-time setup. However, such extraction character recognition become challen...
