How to mask a license plate and thus start license plate recognition.

I am trying to develop a license plate recognition system using Labview/vision assistant. Any tech help, example code or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sgt F.
The difficulty of this task is going to vary depending on the consistency of the images you will be analyzing. 
For instance:
Where will the camera be located relative to the vehicle?
Will the angle of the vehicle be consistent?
What portion of the entire image will be filled by the license plate?
Will the camera be located indoors with constant lighting, or will it be required to work outside 24 / 7?
Will the type of vehicle (and position of license plate) be consistent or are you aiming for the system to work on everything from motor bikes to HGV?
My suggestion would be to obtain as many example images as possible.  If you can obtain a range of images the system will have to work with it will allow you to build up the best possible system.  If you could post up an example image and answer the above questions it will be easier to offer you more specific advice.
Thanks,

  • When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

    I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
    If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

    Here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
    When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
    (This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

  • How do I adjust video clip and audio start times?

    I cant figure out how to adjust the start time of video clips and songs.  I want my music and video clips to start at different times. I am trying to have music and pictures start at the same time at the begining of the movie then transition into my videos at a specific time.   Also i am wondering if there is a way to combine the whole video and image segment into one block and be able to shift it up and down the timeline?  Does anyone know how to do this?  Thanks

    instead of adding music to the background, 'stick' the music-clip to your video clip => the music appears as a green bar, you can move, shorten etc as any other clip.
    …  if there is a way to combine the whole video and image segment into one block and be able to shift it up and down the timeline?  …
    not in iMovie.
    this is one of the major features (grouping and magentic timeline) of FCPX

  • How do deauthorise a mobile device, and move the license to new mobile device?

    For work reasons, I change my mobile device a couple of times a month and need to migrate my Overdrive media files which has Adobe Digital Edition DRM to a new mobile device. I have encountered a limit of 3 devices, and can now no longer install my content on any further devices. Is there a means of deauthorising  devices within Adobe Digital Edition DRM, so i can migrate to a new device?
    Cheers 

    Sorry Claudio, I was in the wrong forum. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

  • How do delete my ipod account and just start all over again

    i just dont like my account ive forgotten half my passwords and stuff so i just want to delete it and start all over please help

    Apple ID's cannot be deleted.
    There is only one password for the Apple ID... not sure why you believe you've forgotten "half your passwords".
    Maybe if you explain a little more clearly we can offer a better solution.

  • Coldfusion 8 service will not start.  Server log is ending with "Starting license..." (Emergency)

    Our server has gone down and the Coldfusion 8 service will not start.  There is no information in any of the logs for anything today since its gone down.  Ive checked the root logs directory as well as the runtime logs directory.
    The server.log is the only file being updated and it shows "Starting logging..." and then "Starting license..." and hangs.  The service does not start and the log gets nothing more after this point.  Memory continues to go up slowly, we've increased the start timeout tremendously with no effect.  There is little to no CPU usage.
    Our server is licensed and has never had this problem before.  It is the standard version.
    Our server is completely down and we are losing clients.  From what we can tell a windows update occurred, which we have since removed in case it was the issue, and when the server restarted CF did not come back.  We have been working on this for hours with no results.
    Please help and let me know anything you may need which will help diagnose our issue.
    Thanks

    So that others who see this know the solution.
    I started Coldfusion from the command line: c:\Coldfusion8\runtime\bin\jrun -start coldfusion.  This brought up all the commands as it worked through them.  From that we found that CF was looking for license.properties in the C:\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib folder.  We found a copy in the C:\Coldfusion8\lib folder.  For now we've left it running under my account and then after hours are going to try and see if the service will run now that we've copied that properties file to the other direcory.
    Probably simple to everyone on here but was new and odd to us.  Wanted to put what we found out here in case it happens to anyone else.

  • When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it.

    When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it. Is this an Apple, Epson, or Foreflight Issue? I just purchased the printer so I can return it and get a different model or brand. I spoke to Epson and the suggestions given did not resolve the issue. I have cut the paper down to the size of the plate roughly 5.5x8 and it still try's to print at 8.5x11. I have also requested help through ForeFlights Tech help but have yet to receive an answer.
    Please help!

    It varies based on what you ordered and whether it is in stock or has to be assenbled and shipped from China. Your email conformation should give an estimate of when the items are expected to be shipped or available for pick up if you are having it sent to a local Apple Store.

    Hi,
    one possible solution is to use an intermediate array. The intermediate array should be used in the user interface. When new data is entered the VI should read each element and then compare to the elements in the stored array. If all elements are different then update the array, otherwise display a fault message.
    You could use asequence activated when the Enter button is pressed. In the first frame you would compare the First array with the stored array. it is probably best to use a Boolean indicator to show if the data is valid Make sure you declare this as a local variable.
    With the sequence you can perform the comparisons in several seperate frames or in one frame with a OR to link the results. For large numbers of comparisons I prefer to use m
    ultiple frames because otherwise the screen becomes a maze of wires and other programmers who may need to maintain the code in the future will find it hard to follow a single frame.
    Once all the data items have been compared then the following sequence should contain a CASE statement of type True/False. Link a readable copy of your local variable to the selector of this statement. Then in the FALSE case (Assuming you have linked the boolean to be false when no data is duplicated) copy the new array to the stored array. In the TRUE case bring up an error message.
    So long as your arrays are not too large and you do not use this technique in too many places in your code the processor overhead should not be badly affected. For frequent use of such a caomparison in several VIs you may want to create a dedicated subVI for the task. For very large arrays you should seek a different solution.
    Hope that helps a bit.
    Good luck,
    Shaf

  • Does Anybody know how to keep the license files and Certificates in ISE-3315 During the upgrade.

    Hi,
    I have two ISE-3315 Appliances in production network.
    I need someone's help to explain, how to make the Secondary node as the primary admin note to reset-config.
    And then I would like to know how to keep the license files and Certificate during the Upgrade.
    Please help me to answer my questions.
    Thanks

    The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) provides distributed  deployment of runtime services with centralized configuration and  management. Multiple nodes can be deployed together in a distributed  fashion to support failover.
    If you register a  secondary Monitoring ISE node, it is recommended that you first back up  the primary Monitoring ISE node and then restore the data to the new  secondary Monitoring ISE node. This ensures that the history of the  primary Monitoring ISE node is in sync with the new secondary node as  new changes are replicated.
    Please  Check the below configuration guide for Secondary ISE- Nodes.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • How does c:url tag know when the session is cookieless and thus to redirect

    i have been looking at the source code for c:url tag and can't figure out how they are doing that. I need a way to do that in a jsp, to check if the cookies are allowed or not.

    how does c:url tag know when the session is cookieless and thus to redirecthuh?
    What do cookies have to do with redirecting?
    Cookies get encoded into a URL using the method in HttpServletResponse: response.encodeURL() or encodeRedirectURL().
    That method determines whether or not it prints out the session id as part of the url, or it gets uses cookies.
    You can try: request.isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie().
    If that is true, you know that session cookies are supported (or at least that one was)

  • Hi, I live in Panama and I want to know how I can buy online the lightroom stand alone license

    Hi I live in Panama and I want to know how can I buy online the lightroom stand alone license
    thanks

    The only contract-free iPhone 6 that is unlocked is the T-Mobile unit sold directly by Apple.  That is a GSM iPhone.  If the 4G/LTE bands are the same in Panama it should work.  But check with your carrier to see which system they use (CDMA or GSM) and can you just purchase a nano-sim to use in the iPhone 6.

  • My iPad was stolen in brazil.  i cannot get the manufacturer id number from my iPhone or my macbook air....they are all linked together though.  any suggestions on how and if i can possibly retrieve this and thus locate the device? thanks julie

    Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number, IMEI, and possibly the MEID.
    The manufacturer ID will not help you locate the iPad, though. If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPad is turned on, connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service disabled or the iPad been completely restored). 
    If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.
