The aim of this project was to design a
system which using Java can identify objects (and possibly people) as a
method of security. This would be possible in two different locations with
the camera on a different machine to the database and identification
software.
After the withdrawal of the subcontract from
this project, this project became a project to design and implement an image
analysis comparison tool. This has been achieved with quite a large degree
of success; the system developed is capable of differentiating between
images of different letters of the alphabet (all the same size, and
orientation – but the may be moved left or right, up or down). This type of
recognition would be most useful in recognising car number plates7
etc. The system is capable of recognising other images, but has not been
completely tested with anything other than letters.
With a little more time available to rectify
the problems with the system (section 5.2) and possibly include some of the
further extensions (discussed in section 5.3) then this system could provide
an adequate solution for visual recognition security. |
