    Computer VisionIntelligent TransportationGANsALPRSuper-ResolutionOCR
    Problem

    Noisy, low-res license plates reduce OCR accuracy in real-world traffic.

    Approach

    Built a GAN pipeline combining segmentation, recognition, and super-resolution with TV-regularization.

    Results

    Generated sharper plates with higher OCR accuracy, PSNR, and SSIM vs. baselines.

    Impact

    Improves ALPR reliability under challenging lighting, motion, and weather conditions.

    Edge AIReal-Time SystemsALPRDNNsEdge DeploymentBenchmarkingThroughput
    Problem

    ALPR must run in real time on constrained edge hardware.

    Approach

    Benchmarked classical vs. DNNs; measured accuracy, latency, memory, and FPS.

    Results

    DNNs improved accuracy; lightweight models + pre/post-processing met real-time.

    Impact

    Actionable guidance to choose models/datasets for deployable edge ALPR.

    Problem

    Block-based motion models struggle at ultra-high resolutions.

    Approach

    Applied HASM® mesh motion; Python simulations on 1080p/4K/8K sequences.

    Results

    Stable motion fields; cases where mesh outperformed block motion.

    Impact

    Guides codec design and encoder settings for UHD content.

    Problem

    Static power allocation wastes energy under variable traffic.

    Approach

    Learned traffic signatures; clustered sites; adjusted per-hour power/links.

    Results

    Lower energy and resource use while maintaining QoS.

    Impact

    Enables greener, adaptive RAN operations and cost savings.
