Virtual Reality System for Industrial Training

In this paper, a virtual reality training system for maintenance of industrial equipment is presented. Since equipment are usually designed with CAD tools, it is feasible to create the virtual reality model. Despite of the virtual reality system itself, seting up an industrial related training system implies several processes in order to transform initial computer aided design model into interactive models suitable for training processes. Our virtual training system is being developed following two main implementation approaches. On one hand a commercial tool (Eon Professional) is being used. On the other, the same system is being developed using open-source tools. Both approaches are described in this paper.

A System for the Automatic and Real Time Recognition of V.L.P.s (Vehicle Licence Plate)

In this work, we describe a system able to recognize the V.L.P. (Vehicle License Plate) of a car from an image of it. The system is still under development and has many practical applications. As examples, we can mention: parking accounting systems, traffic monitoring and security systems of many kinds. The system, at an experimental stage, is installed in a parking at the time of writing.
