why be intelectually satisfied when you can make money?

mexican sweatshops are awesome :)

Anyway, I'm designing a dynamic traffic control system. With a u-controller, I'll be checking on each crossing for cars, so it clears roads if one of the streets is extremely crowded and another is pretty much empty. Now, to see this I need a sensor that tells me when there's a) one car/few cars, b) up to 5 cars/kind of crowded or c)10 cars/very crowded. For this I need, at least, one transmitter and at least, 3 movement detector circuits that give a binary signal to the u-controller, and transmitted wireless to the CPU to clear streets, use timed traffic control (for very crowded streets) or stop streets.

So I need to use either

a)Camera on top of traffic light, process with a DSP
b)Infrared sensors
c)EM sensors

so basically I want an opinion or better ideas : |||

well no matter what you use you'll have to do some sort of signal processing i would think. IR would be prone to blur I would think depending on the angle of viewing and such, and cameras could be difficult to deal with for the same sort of reasons. I think if you can develop model training for cameras and IR equally though IR might be easier...but it would be worth noting that the spread of color in a normal camera may make distinguishing cars as objects easier. On the other hand, if cars stand out clearly in IR shots, then the DSP is even easier on those because you can just choose a directional filter and the color they should be on your scale.

It might be worth looking into beam forming and array processing though.

Indeed, it was full of chicharron and tomate. Best latin american food imo is Peruvian, everything is sooo good. And wtf...Platanos en miel and Platanos fritos are awesome. I dont know how they cook that in Nicaragua though.

ugh so hungry

i just had breakfast taquitos from whataburger

i love the fact that they make breakfast starting at 11pm

I used to live one mile from one. The burgers are banging.

Ugh I really hope the mountains clear up tomorrow so I can go home, definitely don't wanna stay in Eastern Wa for another day.

breakfast sucks

I just had a cheese pizza calzone hot pocket thing, was surprisingly good

you just told me breakfast sucks and yet you eat hotpockets? eww

breakfast is the best meal of the day

Peruvian food is wonderful, you should try it sometime.

Yeah all those people stuck haha, Western Washington can't handle snow for [B]s[/B]hit.

hot pockets are good just awful for you

k I'll check into that, maybe I'll just leave the sensor part for later and just leave it as a transparent module which could be changed somehow

[QUOTE=Iluvatar;16997437]hot pockets are good just awful for you[/QUOTE]
unwrap hot pocket and place directly in toilet


i love jim gaffigan

srsly.

I was shocked to see uncleaned streets. =|

I haven't had a hot pocket in years.

when washington gets snow its like the apocalypse. no one knows what to do so they just go to wal-mart, buy tons of canned food, and board up their house.

when florida gets snow
