—Distributed systems, especially time-triggered ones, are implementing clock synchronization algorithms to provide and maintain a common view of time among the different nodes. S...
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...
In this paper, we present a novel approach for face recognition and authentication based on dimensional surface matching. While most of existing methods use facial intensity image...
This paper proposes methodologies to control the access of B-tree-indexed data in a batch and real-time fashion. Algorithms are proposed to insert, query, delete, and rebalance B-...
We describe a system for the retrieval on the basis of layout similarity of document images belonging to collections stored in digital libraries. Layout regions are extracted and ...
