One in 10 parking fines issued as a result of scans made by cars using automatic number plate recognition systems is unjustified, privacy watchdog Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) has calculated. The cars are equipped with special cameras which can check parked cars more efficiently than inspectors on foot, making them an attractive alternative for local councils. The cars tot up between 250 million and 375 million scans a year, resulting in three to five million fines. In 500,000, or 10%, of...

If you’re anything like me, you must be anxious to understand how computers can recognize image. Certainly, it can’t be magic—we know that for a fact—but how does it work? As a disclaimer, I’m not a neural network expert. I love to learn and share my knowledge and experience. Hence, the following example is more like a “hello world” of image recognition. I’m also not a math genius, which means that if I can understand how math works, everyone can! That said, don’t worry if […]
