I have a client who is looking for a solution to integrate cctv with a (any) ANPR solution that can,I assume recognize the number plate of cars and store in a database and has the ability to post this data to other backoffice applications, crm, marketing app. etc.
Is there any ready software to do this ? Or your recommendations ?
Check out OpenALPR (http://www.openalpr.com). It is free and open source and is very fast and accurate. Given an image it will recognize all the license plates and give you the text of the characters.
Since it's open source and written in C++, you should be able to integrate this with your application fairly easily.
You can look at:
How to recognize vehicle license / number plate (ANPR) from an image?
There seems to be at least a few ANPR solutions. My advice is to be prepared to buy something if you want a reliable and fully integrated solution.
Avigilon currently has a License Plate Recognition Kit. It comes with either one or two lanes. The kit is the camera in a special housing along with a software package that captures the license plates and stores them in a database. You could then search for license plates or create a watch list for specific license plates. You can read more at www.Avigilon.com.

I am iOS developer. I am new with doing object tracking feature. I have searched many links based on tracking real objects. But I have found many links like image tracking, image matching and all. Likewise I would like to track the real world objects.And also I have gone through a site below:
http://developers.arlab.com/me
It helps a lot for tracking images, image matching etc. But not specified any object tracking. If anybody suggesting good tutorial or having any sample source code of object tracking, please share.
Advance Thanks for your support.
You can use the OpenCV framework for Object Tracking. There are many nice tutorial and documentation on internet.
Below i have listed some.Please check if this helps you

OpenCV is released under a BSD license and hence it’s free for both academic and commercial use. It has C++, C, Python and Java interfaces and supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS and Android. OpenCV was designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications...

You can download the SDK from here
Demo Github project

These are some examples you can find many more.

I am very beginner in robotics. I want to make a robotics project based on slam algorithms. I know many algorithm and i have the confidence to implement it in any language but i dont have any idea based on image processing and hardware. So, can anyone give a tuotorial based on slam based robotics projects[including how hardware organized and how image processing is done for that project], after seeing that i can make a slam based robotics project from my own.
In addition, If anyone give me a video lecture series for that then it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
I have tried to do something similar last year. I created two systems. The first system made use of a camera and laser to detect objects and determine their location relative to the system itself. The second system was a little robot with tracks (wheels would be better), that used dead reckoning to keep track of its own location relative to its starting location. The techniques worked really well, but unfortunately I did not have the time to combine the two systems. I can however provide you with some documentation that was incredibly useful for me at that time.
These tutorials provide information on both the hardware and the software.

I currently use the Google Translate API (v2) to translate content from US English into various other languages that we support in our software. We then have a process whereby users can submit translation corrections so that we end-up with fairly well-done translations.
We would like to now add support for UK English so that our English-speaking software users in the UK may have a better user experience.
Is there any way to automate the conversion between US English and UK English, or do we just have to manually fix everything?
Don't know of anything automatic. But you could try to identify the most common differences and then search for them.
There is a list here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences
This would at least help with the manual effort.
Here are two tools I have found to do this:
http://www.us2uk.eu/ (dead website)
http://www.infoenglish.net/american-to-british-english/
I haven't tried these on large text blocks, however.
There's another tool which is available:

Can anyone direct me to a free people tracking library? I would like to be able to use an input image (or video) and get the position of people in it. I have looked at the Reading People Tracker but cannot compile it! I am on Linux (Ubuntu) but windows would be okay (if anyone can tell me how, this would be great). Preferably, it would be for C/C++ but java, c#, ruby and python would be okay too. Thanks in advance, ell.
Not specifically a people tracking library, but as a general tracking approach "Predator" is very highly regarded: http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/Z.Kalal/tld.html - Authors site includes some very impressive demonstration of results on youtube
This article fully explains an algorithm used for tracking moving people, and the accompanying source code is here; it is pure Java. You can see it in action in this video.
(Disclaimer: I'm the author; but I do think this is very useful, and have successfully used the algorithm a lot myself.)
The algorithm tracks moving objects in general, finds their bounding rectangle (which the application draws), counts the number of pixels in each objects, and consistently assigns them the same integer ID throughout the video frames.
When it comes to commercial computer vision applications, OpenCV and the Point Cloud Library aka PCL are your best friends (C++, but there are Java and C# bindings). And articles like the one linked explains how to use tools like OpenCV to accomplish full stack motion tracking. (The pure Java implementation shows how it works down to the individual pixels.)

Are there any paid or free named entity recognition web services available.
Basically I'm looking for something - where if I pass a text like:
"John had french fries at Burger King"
It should be identify - something along the lines:
Person: John
Organization: Burger King
I've heard of Annie from GATE - but I don't think it has a web service available.
OpenCalais by Reuters - pretty awesome at detecting companies, political entities etc. but not, say, food items.
Free for 50,000 requests per day even for commercial, as long as you display their logo.
Totally tripped by certain types of input though. As of now, this results in nothing being detected, despite Wacom being a relatively well-known company.
Wacom introduces WILL - the Wacom Ink Layer Language as a Leading Standard in Digital Inking
DBPedia Spotlight was just released yesterday. Its based on Wikipedia articles and also available as Open Source.
Alchemy API also offers a web API with some rich functionality. It includes named entity recognition as well as sentiment analysis, concept tagging, and several other NLP-related features.
Free for 1k queries per day, then with various tiers of paid subscriptions if you need more than that.
Rosoka Cloud is available through Amazon AWS Marketplace. You can stand it up and use it for as long as you need it and shut it down when you are done. You can use the drag and drop feature if you only need to process a handful of documents, or use the webservice interfaces if you want to do bulk processing. It is inexpensive option for using commercial grad entity extraction for short periods.
support 230 different languages.
