- Description: Licence plate recognition has many practical applications for security and surveillance. This paper presents a robust licence plate detection system that uses string-matching algorithms to identify a vehicle in data. Object detection models have had limited application in the character recognition domain. The system utilises the YOLO object detection model to perform character recognition to ensure more accurate character predictions. The model incorporates super-resolution techniques to enhance the quality of licence plate images to increase character recognition accuracy. The proposed system can accurately detect license plates in diverse conditions and can handle license plates with varying fonts and backgrounds. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated through experimentation on components of the system, showing promising license plate detection and character recognition accuracy. The overall system works with all the components to track vehicles by matching a target string with detected licence plates in a scene. The system has potential applications in law enforcement, traffic management, and parking systems and can significantly advance surveillance and security through automation.

- Description: This paper proposes a real-time system for detecting and tracking squids using the YOLOv5 object detection algorithm. The system utilizes a large dataset of annotated squid images and videos to train a YOLOv5 model optimized for detecting and tracking squids. The model is fine-tuned to minimize false positives and optimize detection accuracy. The system is deployed on a GPU-enabled device for real-time processing of video streams and tracking of detected squids across frames. The accuracy and speed of the system make it a valuable tool for marine scientists, conservationists, and fishermen to better understand the behavior and distribution of these elusive creatures. Future work includes incorporating additional computer vision techniques and sensor data to improve tracking accuracy and robustness.
