The compression of still images by means of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), adopted in the JPEG-2000 and MPEG-4 standards, is becoming more and more widespread because it yie...
—The JPEG 2000 image coding standard employs the biorthogonal 9/7 wavelet for lossy compression. The performance of hardware implementation of 9/7-filter bank depends on accuracy...
Error correction codes of suitable redundancy are used for ensuring perfect data recovery in noisy channels. For iterative decoding based methods, the decoder needs to be initiali...
—Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three different levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutia points), and Level 3 (p...
