Intelligent Car Initiative 2008-2010

The intelligent car initiative was proposed to combine the three main areas of research at the Computer Vision and Sensing Systems Laboratory: Driver Assistance, Vehicle Guidance and Navigation and Active/Passive Safety. The video demonstrates elements of lane detection, vehicle detection, road-sign detection, pedestrian detection, and Traffic Light Detection. The project is led by Siddhant Ahuja, software lead is Thanh Nguyen and the academic supervisor is Dr. Jonathan Wu. Fore more information please visit: uwindsor.ca/cvss

Auto enable ToS/DSCP setting in the Registry in C#

//Check for registry keys

How to change ToS or DSCP values in IP header while sending a Ping, in Microsoft Windows products?

By default, if you use the following command: “ping -v 8”, it would not change the ToS/DSCP value in the IP header in the ICMP Packet, even though you get no errors.

To enable this in windows, follow the steps below:

1. Open regedit
2. Go to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TcpIp\Parameters
3. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, follow these steps:
   1. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
   2. Type DisableUserTOSSetting as the entry name, and then press ENTER. (When you add this entry, the value is set to 0 (zero). Do not change the value.)
4. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
5. After restarting the computer, in command prompt, type “ping <ip address> -v 8”, while taking a wired capture. You would see the DSCP value changed.
