Fingerprint enhancement is a critical step in automatic fingerprint verification system. Most of the existing enhancement uses a set of contextual filters to enhance fingerprint. ...
Abstract. We present a method for finding the boundaries between adjacent regions in an image, where “seed” areas have already been identified in the individual regions to be...

A novel Monte Carlo noise reduction operator is proposed in this paper. We apply and extend the standard bilateral filtering method and build a new local adaptive noise reduction k...
In this paper we propose a novel computational method to infer visual saliency in images. The method is based on the idea that salient objects should have local characteristics tha...
Structured P2P overlay networks based on a consistent hashing function have an aftermath load balance problem that needs to be dealt with. A load balancing method should take into...
