Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a mass surveillance system that captures the image of vehicles and recognizes their registration number issued by government. ANPR is often used in the detection of stolen vehicles, traffic surveillance system. Our project presents a model in which the vehicle license plate image is obtained by the digital cameras and the image is processed to get the number plate information. A vehicle image is captured and processed using various methods. Vehicle number plate region is extracted using the deep neural networks. Optical character recognition is implemented using certain machine learning algorithms for the character recognition. The system is implemented using deep neural network model, machine learning algorithms and is simulated in python, and its performance is tested on real images. It is observed that the developed model successfully detects the license plate region and recognizes the individual characters. There are various recognition strategies that have been produced and number plate recognition systems are today used in different movement and security applications, such as access and border control, parking, or tracking of stolen vehicles.

Background/Aim: Healthcare is an unavoidable assignment to be done in human life. Cardiovascular sickness is a general class for a scope of infections that are influencing heart and veins. The early strategies for estimating the cardiovascular sicknesses helped in settling on choices about the progressions to have happened in high-chance patients which brought about the decrease of their dangers. Methods: In the proposed research, we have considered informational collection from kaggle and it doesn't require information pre-handling systems like the expulsion of noise data, evacuation of missing information, filling default esteems if applicable and classification of attributes for prediction and decision making at different levels. The performance of the diagnosis model is obtained by using methods like classification, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity analysis. This paper proposes a prediction model to predict whether a people have a cardiovascular disease or not and to provide an awareness or diagnosis on that. This is done by comparing the accuracies of applying rules to the individual results of Support Vector Machine, Random forest, Naive Bayes classifier and logistic regression on the dataset taken in a region to present an accurate model of predicting cardiovascular disease. Results: The machine learning algorithms under study were able to predict cardiovascular disease in patients with accuracy between 58.71% and 77.06%. Conclusions: It was shown that Logistic Regression has better Accuracy (77.06 %) when compared to different Machine-learning Algorithms.

The purpose of this work is to predict the mass loss of cement raw materials during the decarbonation process. The mass loss is influenced by the interaction of several parameters such as chemical composition of raw material, particle size, temperature range of decarbonation and time exposed. Therefore, predicting mass loss based on experimental parameters data is often challenging. For this reason, various machine learning algorithms such as deep networks using autoencoder DN-AE, artificial neural networks optimized by particle swarm optimization PSO-ANN, ANN optimized by ant colony optimization ACO-ANN and ANN are proposed to predict the mass loss. In this research, all models have been applied successfully to predict the mass loss with high accuracy. The results obtained have shown the superiority of DN-AE compared to PSO-ANN, ACO-ANN and ANN. In addition, PSO-ANN and ACO-ANN have a better performance than the individual use of ANN. The values of adjusted R2 indicate that 99.11%, 98.66%, 98.27% and 97.03% of data are explained by DN-AE, ACO-ANN, PSO-ANN and ANN respectively with scatter index (SI) less than 0.1 and maximum error less than 3.32%. Finally, the results justify that all models proposed can be employed to predict the mass loss as alternative tools.

The growth in computer vision technology has aided society with various kinds of tasks. One of these tasks is the ability of recognizing text contained in an image, or usually referred to as Optical Character Recognition (OCR). There are many kinds of algorithms that can be implemented into an OCR. The K-Nearest Neighbor is one such algorithm. This research aims to find out the process behind the OCR mechanism by using K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm; one of the most influential machine learning algorithms. It also aims to find out how precise the algorithm is in an OCR program. To do that, a simple OCR program to classify alphabets of capital letters is made to produce and compare real results. The result of this research yielded a maximum of 76.9% accuracy with 200 training samples per alphabet. A set of reasons are also given as to why the program is able to reach said level of accuracy.


In current situation, we come across various problems in traffic regulations in India which can be solved with different ideas. Riding motorcycle/mopeds without wearing helmet is a traffic violation which has resulted in increase in number of accidents and deaths in India. Existing system monitors the traffic violations primarily through CCTV recordings, where the traffic police have to look into the frame where the traffic violation is happening, zoom into the license plate in case rider is not wearing helmet. But this requires lot of manpower and time as the traffic violations frequently and the number of people using motorcycles is increasing day-by-day. What if there is a system, which would automatically look for traffic violation of not wearing helmet while riding motorcycle/moped and if so, would automatically extract the vehicles’ license plate number. Recent research have successfully done this work based on CNN, R-CNN, LBP, HoG, HaaR features,etc. But these works are limited with respect to efficiency, accuracy or the speed with which object detection and classification is done. In this research work, a Non-Helmet Rider detection system is built which attempts to satisfy the automation of detecting the traffic violation of not wearing helmet and extracting the vehicles’ license plate number. The main principle involved is Object Detection using Deep Learning at three levels. The objects detected are person, motorcycle/moped at first level using YOLOv2, helmet at second level using YOLOv3, License plate at the last level using YOLOv2. Then the license plate registration number is extracted using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). All these techniques are subjected to predefined conditions and constraints, especially the license plate number extraction part. Since, this work takes video as its input, the speed of execution is crucial. We have used above said methodologies to build a holistic system for both helmet detection and license plate number extraction.

Machine learning is a popular way to find patterns and relationships in high complex datasets. With the nowadays advancements in storage and computational capabilities, some machine-learning techniques are becoming suitable for real-world applications. The aim of this work is to conduct a comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms and conventional statistical techniques. These methods have long been used for clustering large amounts of data and extracting knowledge in a wide variety of science fields. However, the central knowledge of the different methods and their specific requirements for the data set, as well as the limitations of the individual methods, are an obstacle for the correct use of these methods. New machine learning algorithms could be integrated even more strongly into the current evaluation if the right choice of methods were easier to make. In the present work, some different algorithms of machine learning are listed. Four methods (artificial neural network, regression method, self-organizing map, k-means al-algorithm) are compared in detail and possible selection criteria are pointed out. Finally, an estimation of the fields of work and application and possible limitations are provided, which should help to make choices for specific interdisciplinary analyses.

Nowadays, optical character recognition is one of the most successful automatic pattern recognition applications. Many works have been done regarding the identification of Latin and Chinese characters. However, the reason for having few investigations for the recognition of Arabic characters is the complexity and difficulty of Arabic characters identification compared to the others. In the current work, we investigate combining multiple machine learning algorithms for multi-font Arabic isolated characters recognition, where imperfect and dimensionally variable input charactersare faced. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such work yet available in this regard. Experimental results show that combined multiple classifiers can outperform each individual classifier produces by itself. The current findings are encouraging and opens the door for further research tasks in this direction.

The motion picture industry is one of the largest industries worldwide and has significant importance in the global economy. Considering the high stakes and high risks in the industry, forecast models and decision support systems are gaining importance. Several attempts have been made to estimate the theatrical performance of a movie before or at the early stages of its release. Nevertheless, these models are mostly used for predicting domestic performances and the industry still struggles to predict box office performances in overseas markets. In this study, the aim is to design a forecast model using different machine learning algorithms to estimate the theatrical success of US movies in Turkey. From various sources, a dataset of 1559 movies is constructed. Firstly, independent variables are grouped as pre-release, distributor type, and international distribution based on their characteristic. The number of attendances is discretized into three classes. Four popular machine learning algorithms, artificial neural networks, decision tree regression and gradient boosting tree and random forest are employed, and the impact of each group is observed by compared by the performance models. Then the number of target classes is increased into five and eight and results are compared with the previously developed models in the literature.
