This involves the use of Computer Vision for licence plate recognition using OpenALPR and OpenCV and it automatically alerts the user (here, the traffic police and surveillance system) as soon as the licence plate is not found in the database. This will increase security on the road as the criminals generally use fraudulent licence plates for committing serious crimes. A lot of crimes can be avoided this way if we automatically detect the fraudulent licence plates on the road itself.
This module again makes use of Computer Vision for Helmet Detection for two-wheelers using OpenCV. It detects whether the rider and the pillion riders are wearing helmets or not and identifies the people who aren’t. This is a step towards saving numerous lives that are lost due to not wearing helmets.
We ran into some problems like the OpenALPR library wasn't running properly in the system. In helmet detection, we tried to improve accuracy but we struggled a lot there.
