Fingerprint enhancement is a critical step in fingerprint identification. Most of the existing enhancement algorithms are based on local ridge direction. The main drawback of thes...
—This paper proposes the sequential context inference (SCI) algorithm for Markov random field (MRF) image analysis. This algorithm is designed primarily for fast inference on an...
We propose a new fast facial-feature extraction technique for embedded face-recognition applications. A deformable feature model is adopted, of which the parameters are optimized t...
A novel video compression scheme is presented in this paper. This algorithm is implemented based on a conditional replenishment Address Event Representation (AER) imager, where im...
Natural fractures may greatly affect wellbore stability and fluid flow in oil reservoirs. The detection of fracture heterogeneities—also named fracture traces—on electrical im...
