Data Analytics and Learning: Proceedings of Dal 2018 (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems #43)
by P. Nagabhushan D. S. Guru B. H. Shekar Y. H. Sharath KumarThis paper describes a method to localize and recognize seven-segment displays on digital energy meters. Color edge detection is first performed on a camera-captured image of the device which is then followed by a run-length technique to detect horizontal and vertical lines. The region of interest circumscribing the LCD panel is determined based on the attributes of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. The extracted display region is preprocessed using the morphological black-hat operation to enhance the text strokes. Adaptive thresholding is then performed and the digits are segmented based on stroke features. Finally, the segmented digits are recognized using a support vector machine classifier trained on a set of syntactic rules defined for the seven-segment font. The proposed method can handle images exhibiting uneven illumination, the presence of shadows, poor contrast, and blur, and yields a recognition accuracy of 97% on a dataset of 175 images of digital energy meters captured using a mobile camera.

Data Analytics for Smart Cities (Data Analytics Applications)
by Amir Alavi William G. ButtlarThe development of smart cities is one of the most important challenges over the next few decades. Governments and companies are leveraging billions of dollars in public and private funds for smart cities. Next generation smart cities are heavily dependent on distributed smart sensing systems and devices to monitor the urban infrastructure. The smart sensor networks serve as autonomous intelligent nodes to measure a variety of physical or environmental parameters. They should react in time, establish automated control, and collect information for intelligent decision-making. In this context, one of the major tasks is to develop advanced frameworks for the interpretation of the huge amount of information provided by the emerging testing and monitoring systems. Data Analytics for Smart Cities brings together some of the most exciting new developments in the area of integrating advanced data analytics systems into smart cities along with complementary technological paradigms such as cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT). The book serves as a reference for researchers and engineers in domains of advanced computation, optimization, and data mining for smart civil infrastructure condition assessment, dynamic visualization, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), cyber-physical systems, and smart construction technologies. The chapters are presented in a hands-on manner to facilitate researchers in tackling applications. Arguably, data analytics technologies play a key role in tackling the challenge of creating smart cities. Data analytics applications involve collecting, integrating, and preparing time- and space-dependent data produced by sensors, complex engineered systems, and physical assets, followed by developing and testing analytical models to verify the accuracy of results. This book covers this multidisciplinary field and examines multiple paradigms such as machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, intelligent databases, knowledge acquisition, data visualization, high performance computing, and expert systems.
