Abstract: A method for estimating a number of objects is to be implemented by a processing module, and is utilized to estimate a number of a plurality of objects having elongated shapes based on an image of the objects that contains substantially-circular end faces of the objects. The method includes steps of generating a characteristic image based on the image of the objects, the characteristic image containing a plurality of characteristic patterns which are associated with the end faces of the objects, calculating a number of the characteristic patterns based on the characteristic image, and obtaining an estimated number of the objects based on at least the number of the characteristic patterns thus calculated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for size estimation by image recognition of a specific target using a given scale. First, a reference objected is recognized in an image and the corresponding scale is established. Then the specific target is searched and the size of the specific target is estimated according to the acquired scale.

Abstract: An image-based vehicle classification system includes a camera and an image server connected to the camera. The camera captures images of a road to result in an image stream. The image server includes a processor for receiving the image stream from the camera. For each of the images of the image stream, the processor performs image segmentation, a thinning process, an erosion process and a dilation process, and classifies, by a neural network classifier, a vehicle image part contained in the image into one of a large-size car class, a passenger car class and a motorcycle class when it is determined that the vehicle image is crossing an imaginary line set in advance in the image for counting vehicles.

Abstract: In a method for monitoring water level of a water body, a monitoring system is configured to: capture a current image that has a portion of the water body, and a remaining portion aside from the portion of the water body; process the current image into a processed image that includes a water body region corresponding to the portion of the water body, and a background region corresponding to the remaining portion of the current image; mark, on the processed image, a plurality of virtual alert points according to a predetermined water level of the water body; determine whether at least one of the virtual alert points is located within the water body region of the processed image; and generate a monitoring result according to the determination thus made.
