The recognition of vehicle number plates is a process as complex as it is necessary, used for example at motorway toll booths or to identify who violate traffic rules. Here we propose a Raspberry Pi-based system that automatically recognizes vehicle license plates using image processing. The system features an HD camera with infrared sensor and…
Medical engineering is just one of the important areas where researchers have found a use for the Pi. This stent-testing robot was designed by Dr Henry J Feldman, chief information architect at Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians. Stents are small tubes used to prop open a patient’s airway. It’s incredibly important they don’t fail because they keep…
Raspberry Pi enthusiasts may be interested in a new mini robot created by Omkar Joglekar. A Raspberry Pi Zero has been used to create a tiny remote controlled truck. Omkar has used a wireless dongle to add connectivity to his RC truck because the Pi Zero doesn’t have embedded wireless capabilities. If you prefer, you can replace…
Google has launched the AIY (AI yourself) Vision Kit that lets you turn Raspberry Pi equipment into an image-recognition device. The vision kit is powered by Google’s TensorFlow machine-learning models and will soon gain an accompanying Android app for controlling the device. Earlier this year they also introduced the AIY voice project, which allowed makers…
