Durban branch

September 2008 SAIMC

At our last meeting we hosted a talk by Barry Dudley: 'Imaging in Africa'. Barry outlined the various uses of advanced imaging solutions for measurement and control. Some of the topics included: image analysis: (counting and sizing); accept/reject systems; stack emissions; forest fire detection; licence plate recognition; facial identification and other aspects of verification. One of the highlights was the practical demonstration of the technology in action using examples from KZN sites with end-users on hand to share their experiences.

(L to R): R. Gokal, project manager Ethekwini Transport Authority; Logan Moodley, deputy head Ethekwini Transport Authority; Barry T. Fryer Dudley I-CUBE (Integrated Intelligent Imaging); Kevin McElroy, chairman SAIMC
