IoT-Enabled Vision System for Detection of Tint Level

1.1 Introduction
In a typical automotive system, such as cars, buses, and lorries, we use glass windows at
many places. The purpose of the glass window provided at the back side is to provide clear
visibility of vehicles that are approaching our vehicle. The glass window provided at the
front side of the car (called windshield) gives a clear view of things ahead of our vehicle.
The driver moderates the speed of the vehicle according to the objects seen through the
windshield. At every row of passenger seats, depending on the type of the vehicle, glass
windows are provided on either side. The purpose of these glass windows is to give visibility of outside world to the passengers while traveling. During accidents or emergency
situations, one can even break these windows and escape out of the vehicle. Apart from
this, a mirror has been provided near the driver seat. Using it, a driver can look at the
approaching vehicle(s) and also roughly estimate their speed which in turn will help him
to take proper decisions on how to maneuver the steering wheel and avoid accidents.
The law enforcement authorities such as police personnel can look through these glass
windows from outside and find out who are all traveling inside the vehicle. This kind of
tracking is normally done by police personnel whenever some untoward incident such
as accident or bomb explosion happens. In many such untoward incidents, typically the
criminals/extremists escape in the vehicles to remote locations. Then, the police personnel
