The use of ANPR Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is used to help detect, deter and disrupt criminality at a local, force, regional and national level, including tackling travelling criminals. ANPR provides lines of enquiry and evidences in the investigations of crime and is used by forces throughout UK, Wales and Northern Ireland. How it works As a car or a vehicle passes an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera, its registration number is read and checked thru database
Computer vision is a discipline that studies how to reconstruct, interpret and understand a 3D scene from its 2D images in terms of the properties of the structures present in the scene. It combines the knowledge from computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, physiology, biology and cognitive science in order to understand and simulate the operation of the human vision system. As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract
the image at the particular point. When x and y the amplitude values of f are all discrete entities or finite the image is known as digital image. The domain of digital image processing directs to processing digital images by the help of a digital computer. Note that a digital image is made up of a finite number of parts, each of which has a certain place and amount. These parts are directed to as picture property, image property, pixels and peels. Pixel is the word most widely used to represent the
The Historical Impact of Apple Computers When considering contributions to the technology field, Apple is one of the first companies that comes to mind. The innovation and vision of Apple computers has allowed the company to be on the forefront of technological change. Even after almost 40 years of business, Apple has managed to not only be relevant in the field of technology, but dominate it. Apple led the way of making computers more easily-accessible to the average person by creating a basic

The TIGER Initiative organization has been beneficial to the field of nursing throughout the healthcare technological reformation by providing informatics competencies for nurses, a vision and mission for change, and supporting the engagement of nurses through the various
Apple and the Personal Computer Revolution Let’s take a trip back in time and review the evolution of a computer company. It’s not IBM or Microsoft. This company is Apple Computers, Incorporated. In the year 1976, before most people even thought about buying a computer for their homes. Back then the computer community was only a few nerds building simple computers from hobby kits. When Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs sold a van and two programmable calculators for thirteen hundred dollars and started

Use of heuristics This refers to the making of decisions using general rules of thumb or informed guesses without completely searching all the available alternatives or possibilities. This attribute of intelligent behaviour, whilst natural to humans, is difficult to achieve in machines. Given the right programs, a computer system can obtain good results/solutions t... ... middle of
Introduction Augmented reality (AR) is the virtual the object which is combination of 3D real environment in the real time. Computer aided surgery and medicine is one of the application areas in augmented reality (AR). In computer aided surgery and medicine visualization method is needed as a side of view from virtual world as a solution computer visualization in operation for example laparoscopic surgery. In this reviews, visualization include a display device based AR systems, head-mounted display
While countless individuals have impacted the field of computing, few have had the revolutionary vision of Grace Murray Hopper. Beyond her brilliant technical mind, it was her understanding for business and marketing that set her apart. Grace Hopper realized that the potential for computers could go far beyond what anyone at the time imagined. She believed that computers could be tremendously useful to a much broader audience if only they were simpler to use and understand. Such forward thinking
The first age was defined by the mainframe computers an owned by an organization and used by many people at the same time. Second came the age of the PC or a personal Computer usually owned and used by one person. The third age ubiquitous computing, representative of the present time, is characterized by the explosion of small networked portable. Computer products in the form of smarts phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and embedded computers built into many of the devices we own resulting
automation are to create robots. The technology of automated machines trades in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes in humans. To perform self-governing scientific times, however, the functionality of robots and machines to create applications grow significantly until the 20th century, the concept of research. Historically, the robots to imitate human behavior are often seen in the leg and are often similar to that of the management tasks. Continuous research, technology development
3140 2/19/2014 Historical Case Study - The Internet The internet in its most basic form is a hub in which individuals can communicate with one another. The Internet in a way is a global network of networks connecting millions (if not billions) of computers and people worldwide. Unlike many other services that exist across the planet (both physical and digital), the Internet is decentralized and not one person owns all of it. In fact, there is an organization known as the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)
project. They wanted to create a “wearable computer” that will allow people to explore and share the world from first person point of view. It also allows the user to experience a computer in first person. This will allow users to be on a computer and see the world and the things around them at the same time without having to look down at a screen which is the problem in today’s society. This was the start of a new technological innovation for both computers and glasses. This new technology can use
“Virtual reality promises a kind of transcendence of the limits of physical reality” (Biocca, Kim, Levy 06). “Virtual Reality” is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment in a seemingly real way by a person using special electronic equipment. When most people hear this they think of movies like “The Matrix”. They think films are the only place virtual reality is seen and used. However they are sorely mistaken in that aspect. Virtual reality is used in other fields and can
stream data to real life. However, it was not popular and common between people at that time. After that, many inventors tried to develop this idea and make it a reality that is useable by people. In 1980, Steve Mann invented the first wearable computer with vision systems that people envision with. Then, people began to use it for weather broadcasts and world maps. It became wider than before. In 2013, Google invented glasses that were based on this technology, and they called it Google Glasses (“Augmented
Digital image processing is the exercise of computer algorithms to perform image processing on digital images, as a subcategory or field of digital signal processing. Digital image processing has various advantages over analog image processing. It permits a much spacious range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can be avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal distortion during processing. Since images are defined over multi dimensions digital image processing may be modeled
Perfection is what I think about all the time and this thought urges me to earn a Master’s degree. I got introduced to the field of Computers via Games. But, I started to see something beyond games, I realized they are software. Well-built software will help solve many complex real world problems with ease. This multiplied my curiosity and made me focus on the field of Computer Science. My thirst for quality and standards kept me on the run searching for knowledge. I strongly believe that doing a Master’s

As Sam's vision blossoms a symbiotic relationship is formed that will provide enhanced business applications and services to customers and a recurring source or revenue for IBM.
and the Internet. Pervasive computing devices are not personal computers as we tend to think of them, but very tiny - even invisible - devices, either mobile or embedded in almost any type of object imaginable, including cars, tools, appliances, clothing and various consumer goods - all communicating through increasingly interconnected networks. In 1991, Mark Weiser introduced the idea of ubiquitous computing: a world in which computers and associated technologies become invisible, and thus indistinguishable
Exascale Computers. Firstly coming to power management, this power crisis problem effects many performance issues which include working of the processor. The main barrier for multicore processor is power management. Reliability and resiliency will be critical at the scale of billion-way concurrency: “silent errors,” caused by the failure of components and manufacturing variability, will more drastically affect the results of computations on Exascale computers than today’s Petascale computers.
