A novel and general criterion for image similarity validation is introduced using the so-called a contrario decision framework. It is mathematically proved that it is possible to c...
Johnson and Hebert's spin-images have been applied to the registration of range images and object recognition with much success because they are rotation, scale, and pose inv...
We propose a generative model that codes the geometry and appearance of generic visual object categories as a loose hierarchy of parts, with probabilistic spatial relations linkin...
This paper proposes a new method for personal identification based on iris recognition. The method consists of three major components: image preprocessing, feature extraction and ...
This paper presents a new biometric identifier, namely finger-knuckle-print (FKP), for personal identity authentication. First a specific data acquisition device is constructed to...
