Matching Polyhedral Terrains Using Overlays of Envelopes
For a collection F of d-variate piecewise linear functions of overall combinatorial complexity n, the lower envelope E(F) of F is the pointwise minimum of these functions. The min...

On the Individuality of the Iris Biometric
We consider quantitatively establishing the discriminative power of iris biometric data. It is difficult, however, to establish that any biometric modality is capable of distingui...
