Existing traffic monitoring systems face significant limitations in ensuring road safety and enforcing traffic laws. Traditional systems often rely on manual intervention for identifying violations such as speeding or illegal parking, leading to inefficiencies and delays. Many existing solutions use outdated object detection methods that fail to provide real time, high accuracy results, especially in high density or low light traffic scenarios. Additionally, these systems lack integration for automated notifications and incident reporting, making it difficult for authorities to respond promptly. The proposed intelligent vehicle tracking system addresses these limitations by integrating advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies. Vehicle detection is performed using the YOLOv8 model, renowned for its high accuracy and real time processing capabilities, ensuring precise identification of vehicles in various conditions. Speed monitoring leverages OpenCV to calculate vehicle speeds based on timestamps and predefined distances, while license plate recognition is achieved using EasyOCR, which extracts text from plates and links it to an owner database. The system includes an incident reporting module, allowing users to upload accident photos, with geolocation APIs automatically providing the device’s location for immediate response by law enforcement. Comparative testing revealed that the proposed system achieved a 95% success rate in vehicle detection and 92% in number plate recognition, surpassing the 85% accuracy of traditional methods. Furthermore, speed monitoring in the proposed system demonstrated consistent reliability with a ±3 km/h error margin, compared to higher error rates in existing solutions. The automated notification and incident reporting features significantly improve response times, addressing a critical gap in conventional systems. This system represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology for smarter traffic management, offering scalability for deployment in both urban and rural areas. Future enhancements include integration with national vehicle registries and predictive analytics for accident prone zones.

Brain Cancer Detection Using Advanced Deep Learning Algorithm

The disease needs to be treated cautiously because of the complexity of brain cancer. Since each patient’s brain tumor is unique in terms of dimension, shape, and localization, it is challenging to identify them in medical imaging. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) process is used to diagnose the brain tumor anatomy results in inaccurate detection of the tumor and it is very time consuming. Therefore, many classification techniques from Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) are utilized to rapidly recognize the tumor. This paper proposes segmenting and detecting the brain cancer using Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). An image is first pre processed using a median filter to minimize noise in the image.  Global thresholding is a simple image segmentation technique that uses a single threshold value to separate an image into distinct regions. After that, the feature extraction method of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) is employed to detect brain tumors with higher accuracy and lower computational complexity than other methods. This performance measure is applicable to quantifying the performance of the segmented tumor region. Additionally, DCNN classification algorithm has achieved high performance and accuracy. For the purpose of identifying the performance of the model, this proposed project produced a confusion matrix. With a classification accuracy of 91.23% and a precision of 90.39%, the experiment’s results demonstrated that the method is more successful than the current methods.

Bridge Crack Detection Using Multi-SVM Classifier

The Automatic crack detection system is a significant technology to detect crack in concrete images. Identification of the crack Intensity and severity is the main objective of the detection system. Detection of images containing unwanted noises, blurriness and interference is considerably difficult hence image pre processing is done using the adaptive filter by which the disturbances is removed. Images with non uniform light, poor contrast or sudden brightness changes is rectified in the segmentation process using the fuzzy c algorithm that uses clustering technique.
