Curvature and Singularity Driven Diffusion for Oriented Pattern Enhancement with Singular Points
Oriented patterns, e.g. fingerprints, consist of smoothly varying flow-like patterns, together with important singular points (i.e. cores and deltas) where the orientation change...

Curvature of n-dimensional space curves in grey-value images
Local curvature represents an important shape parameter of space curves which are well described by differential geometry. We have developed an estimator for local curvature of spa...

From Template to Image: Reconstructing Fingerprints from Minutiae Points
—Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not r...

Face Detection by Direct Convexity Estimation
We suggest a novel attentional mechanism for detection of smooth convex and concave objects based on direct processing of intensity values. The operator detects the regions of the ...
