This tutorial introduces fingerprint recognition systems and their main components: sensing, feature extraction and matching. The basic technologies are surveyed and some state-of-...
Peer-to-peer systems are positioned to take advantage of gains in network bandwidth, storage capacity, and computational resources to provide long-term durable storage infrastruct...
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...
A completely automatic face recognition system is presented. The method works on color and gray level images: after having localized the face and the facial features, it determines...
To make pervasive computing a reality, we need better system support for building, deploying, and using pervasive applications. In this paper, we identify the unique requirements ...
