There are several algorithms and methods that could be applied to perform the character recognition stage of an automatic number plate recognition system; however, the constraints of having a high recognition rate and real-time processing should be taken into consideration. In this paper four algorithms applied to Qatari number plates are presented and compared. The proposed algorithms are based on feature extraction (vector crossing, zoning, combined zoning and vector crossing) and template matching techniques. All four proposed algorithms have been implemented and tested using MATLAB. A total of 2790 Qatari binary character images were used to test the algorithms. Template matching based algorithm showed the highest recognition rate of 99.5% with an average time of 1.95 ms per character.

Some of the imageprocessingalgorithms are verycostly in terms of operations and time. To use these algorithmsin real-time environment, optimization and vectorization arenecessary. In this paper, approaches are proposed to optimize, vectorize and how to fit the algorithm in low memory space. Here, optimized anisotropic diffusion based fog removal algorithm isproposed. Fog removal algorithm removes the fog from imageand produces an image having better visibility. This algorithmhas many phases like anisotropic diffusion, histogram stretchingand smoothing. Anisotropic diffusion is an iterative process thattakes nearly 70% of time complexity of the whole algorithm. Here, optimization and vectorization of the anisotropic diffusion is proposed for better performance. However, optimizationtechniques cost some accuracy but that can be neglected forsignificant improvement in performance. For memory constraintenvironment, a method is proposed to process the entire blockof image and maintains the integrity of operations. Resultsconfirm that with our optimization and vectorization approaches, performance is increased up to 90 fps (approximately) for VGAimage on one of the imageprocessing DSP simulator. Even if, system doesn't have vector operations, the proposed optimizationtechniques can be used to achieve better performance (2× faster).

This work presents a Tone Mapping Operator (TMO) which adjusts the High Dynamic Range (HDR) of image sensor data to the limited dynamic range of conventional displays with analog signal processing. It is based on Photographic Tone Reproduction (PTR) and suitable for analog circuit design in a CMOS image sensor in order to reduce the hardware cost and operation time for real-time imageprocessing. For this reason, the characteristic advantage and calculation limitation of analog technology are considered in the TMO algorithm proposal. Furthermore, the appropriate modelling is built and simulated in Verilog-A. The function of the algorithm is feasible for analog processing. The frequency of the analog TMO is upper 52MHz while it consumes 55mW. The simulation results of test images are compared with the digital global TMO and the proposed analog TMO provides a reasonable similar dynamic range compression.

The Mojette transform has found several applications to this date. Some of them, such as systems for distributed file storage, or digital tomography systems exploit one of the main properties of Mojette transform - redundancy. However, sometimes this feature is not desirable. This is a case of applying Mojette transform for image encoding, or decoding. In these applications, higher rate of redundancy can cause longer processing times and bigger size of image data. These problems can be solved by group of procedures, which would work in a determined manner. In this article, we tried to propose a set of algorithms, which would reduce the drawbacks of Mojette transform, but exploit its advantages in the field of image coding.

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for feature point detecting and matching. Algorithm is robust to image noise and computationally simple, hence it is more suitable for on-board processing robotics applications. We introduce two repeatability measurements, that can be used in training phase to optimize parameters of the algorithm. Proposed detection algorithm is free from extracting multiple points around the same feature point. We suggest a technique to overcome the effect of scale variation in detection stage, for a compensation of computational simplicity. In matching stage, we directly utilize resulting data from detection, which makes the overall process much faster. We procure a technique for matching point error suppression, for a compensation of computational simplicity. Simulation results provided in the paper illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

The dedicated algorithm is implemented in an FPGA Xilinx Spartan 6, and results are displayed in a VGA monitor. The FPGA offers the necessary performance for imageprocessing and video in real time, while maintaining the flexibility of the system to support an adaptive algorithm. Simulation results and synthesis proposed edge detection processor on FPGA chip demonstrate the efficiency of proposed architecture.

Thinning is an important pre-processing step in many shape based character and word recognition systems. The one-pixel wide thinned character image is useful for identifying the shape of various strokes used to from the character, which is helpful in many applications such as word spotting in the document image, content-based document image retrieval, character and word classification, etc. However, all thinning algorithms generate unwanted spurious edges. As a result, the shape of the stroke is distorted which in turn limits the accuracy of stroke recognition in characters. Thus, removal of these spurious edges from thinned image will improve the state of the art in stroke recognition and benefit many applications stated above. This paper presents a survey of various techniques used for removal of spurious edges from thinned character image and tries to identify the challenges and research gaps in the problem.

The article is devoted to solving the problem of onboard processing of hyperspectral data for subsequent transmission via the communication channels in systems of remote sensing. A compression method based on the hierarchical grid interpolation is used as the basic algorithm of data compression necessary to reduce the amount of transmitted information. In this article, the method is adapted for onboard data processing. The specificity of hyperspectral imaging is taken into account when developing an algorithm of stabilization of the rate of compressed data formation. Computational experiments show that the efficiency of the proposed algorithms is sufficient for the transmission of hyperspectral remote sensing data under the limited capacity of the buffer memory and the communication channel bandwidth.

Face detection is an important step in any face recognition systems, for the purpose of localizing and extracting face region from the rest of the images. The algorithms were built in C/C++ code and collaborated with OpenCV library. However, face detection system require high performance resources due to heavy real time measurement, in additional, it needs to be run on embedded platform. Therefore, platform system that host the face detection need to be tuned and enhanced to gain better performance from the standard settings and if possible, as good as desktop or laptop performance. In this paper, we propose two methods for enhancing the performance of the embedded platform. The two methods are OpenCV libraries multiprocessing and RAM tuning. The results shows that from one of the boards, Board 1 with quad core ARM Cortex-A7 processor capable to achieve almost as fast as laptop with Intel i3 processor. It can be concluded that embedded platform is capable to be a replacement for conventional computer system.
