plate information, the contact details of the owner is identified and ticket is issued with

1.6 Scope for Future Studies
The proposed tint level detection system has been designed using ordinary cameras
which work in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In reality, we drive our
vehicles during early mornings, late evenings, and night times as well. If one wants to use
the proposed system, then one has to use infrared cameras during those poor lighting conditions. Then, the proposed algorithm needs to be modified. The designed algorithm has
been tested while the vehicles were moving at low speeds. One has to test the algorithm
while vehicles are moving at high speeds.
