License plate recognition (LPR) is a type of technology, mainly software, that enables computer systems to read automatically the registration number (license number) of vehicles from digital pictures.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates. It has seven elements: cameras, illumination, frame grabbers, computers, software, hardware, and databases. ANPR detects vehicles, captures plate images, and processes the images to recognize plates. It has advantages like improving safety and reducing crime. Applications include parking, access control, tolling, border control, and traffic monitoring.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) uses cameras and optical character recognition software to read vehicle license plates. The technology was developed in the UK in the 1970s and uses infrared cameras and lighting to capture plate images day or night. ANPR systems analyze plate images using character segmentation and recognition algorithms to identify plate characters and check them against databases. ANPR has applications in law enforcement, parking, tolling, and border control by identifying vehicles as they pass by mounted cameras.

Driver drowsiness monitoring system using visual behavior and Machine Learning.AasimAhmedKhanJawaad
Drowsy driving is one of the major causes of road accidents and death. Hence, detection of
driver’s fatigue and its indication is an active research area. Most of the conventional methods are
either vehicle based, or behavioral based or physiological based. Few methods are intrusive and
distract the driver, some require expensive sensors and data handling. Therefore, in this study, a low
cost, real time driver’s drowsiness detection system is developed with acceptable accuracy. In the
developed system, a webcam records the video and driver’s face is detected in each frame employing
image processing techniques. Facial landmarks on the detected face are pointed and subsequently the
eye aspect ratio, mouth opening ratio and nose length ratio are computed and depending on their
values, drowsiness is detected based on developed adaptive thresholding. Machine learning
algorithms have been implemented as well in an offline manner. A sensitivity of 95.58% and
specificity of 100% has been achieved in Support Vector Machine based classification.
Face recognition technology uses machine learning algorithms to identify or verify a person's identity from digital images or video frames. The process involves detecting faces, applying preprocessing techniques like filtering and scaling, training classifiers using labeled face images, and then classifying new faces. Common machine learning algorithms used include K-nearest neighbors, naive Bayes, decision trees, and locally weighted learning. The proposed system detects faces, builds a tabular dataset from pixel values, trains classifiers, and evaluates performance on a test set. Software applies techniques like detection, alignment, normalization, and matching to encode faces for comparison. Face recognition has advantages like convenience and low cost, and applications in security, banking, and more.

Advanced Virtual Assistant Based on Speech Processing Oriented Technology on ...ijtsrd
With the advancement of technology, the need for a virtual assistant is increasing tremendously. The development of virtual assistants is booming on all platforms. Cortana, Siri are some of the best examples for virtual assistants. We focus on improving the efficiency of virtual assistant by reducing the response time for a particular action. The primary development criterion of any virtual assistant is by developing a simple U.I. for assistant in all platforms and core functioning in the backend so that it could perform well in multi plat formed or cross plat formed manner by applying the backend code for all the platforms. We try a different research approach in this paper. That is, we give computation and processing power to edge devices itself. So that it could perform well by doing actions in a short period, think about the normal working of a typical virtual assistant. That is taking command from the user, transfer that command to the backend server, analyze it on the server, transfer back the action or result to the end user and finally get a response if we could do all this thing in a single machine itself, the response time will get reduced to a considerable amount. In this paper, we will develop a new algorithm by keeping a local database for speech recognition and creating various helpful functions to do particular action on the end device.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

INTRODUCTION
Automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character
recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle location data. It can
use existing closed-circuit television, road-rule enforcement cameras, or cameras specifically
designed for the task. ANPR is used by police forces around the world for law enforcement
purposes, including to check if a vehicle is registered or licensed. It is also used for
electronic toll collection on pay-per-use roads and as a method of cataloguing the
movements of traffic, for example by highways agencies.
Automatic number plate recognition can be used to store the images captured by the cameras
as well as the text from the license plate, with some configurable to store a photograph of the
driver. Systems commonly use infrared lighting to allow the camera to take the picture at any
time of day or night. ANPR technology must take into account plate variations from place to
place.
Concerns about these systems have centred on privacy fears of government tracking citizens'
movements, misidentification, high error rates, and increased government spending. Critics
have described it as a form of mass surveillance.
License plate recognition (LPR) is a type of technology, mainly software that enables
computer systems to read automatically the registration number (license number) of vehicles
from digital pictures.
License Plate Recognition Systems use the concept of optical character recognition to read
the characters on a vehicle license plate. In other words, LPR takes the image of a vehicle as
the input and outputs the characters written on its license plate.
LPR also called ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) has 3 major stages.
1. License Plate Detection: This is the first and probably the most important stage of the
system. It is at this stage that the position of the license plate is determined. The input at this
stage is an image of the vehicle and the output is the license plate.
2. Character Segmentation: It’s at this stage the characters on the license plate are mapped
out and segmented into individual images.
3. Character Recognition: This is where we wrap things up. The characters earlier
segmented are identified here. We have used machine learning for this.

DEMONSTRATION AND SCREENSHORTS
1. In the first step, open terminal (Python Bash) and activate the virtualenv (Python virtual
environment) by running the following command inside the project folder -
source env/bin/activate
2. Now run the python project by executing python script named prediction.py in the
terminal (Python Bash)
13. 13
3. The tkinter image file input dialog box will now open.
4. Now open any car image placed inside images folder in the project folder.
5. The next step displays the license plate detection process (plate localization). In this
process the original image is converted to its grayscale version. Now to localize license plate
14. 14
from the image a specific threshold is applied to the grayscale image. The following image
shows a comparison between the grayscale image and the threshold image in the matplotlib
pyplot.
5. Now after localizing license plate from the original image, the next image shows the
process of identifying all the connected regions in the image using the concept of
connected component analysis (CCA). It basically, helps us group and label connected
regions on the foreground. A pixel is deemed to be connected to another if they both have
the same value and are adjacent to each other.
15. 15
6. In the next step we have mapped out all the characters from the image using character
segmentation process and CCA.
7. In the final step we have used supervised machine learning to detect the possible
character present on the license plate. It makes use of a known dataset (called the training
dataset) to make predictions and thus, the license plate number is detected and displayed
inside a new dialog box as output.
21. 21
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
1. The project currently works over still captured images only, and can be modified in future
to be implemented to extract license plate information over live video feeds.
2. Efficiency of the project can be increased by improving the character segmentation
algorithm so it can be applicable to various types of car’s images.
3. Image Processing speed can be increased by installing faster processors.
4. The project can be implemented with Raspberry-Pie so as to use it for real life conditions.
5. Project currently have a simple GUI based on tkinter but it can be made much more user
friendly and easily navigable by using many other modules.
6. We are currently using pre-build Machine Learning libraries for recognizing and
detecting license plate numbers. Self-written machine learning codes can further enhance
the speed and process for images of all conditions.
7. More number of character datasets can be trained with the project, so to detect and
recognize characters of regional languages and hand-written license plates.
