We propose a general approach to discriminant feature extraction and fusion, built on an optimal feature transformation for discriminant analysis [6]. Our experiments indicate tha...
A feature extraction method using the chaincode representation of fingerprint ridge contours is presented. The representation allows efficient image quality enhancement and detect...
Abstract Fingerprint classification represents an important preprocessing step in fingerprint identification, which can be very helpful in reducing the cost of searching large fing...
Speech recognition techniques have been developed dramatically in recent years. Nevertheless, errors caused by environmental noise are still a serious problem in recognition. Empl...
This paper presents an efficient method for extracting the skeleton of a planar shape. The method is based on computing local symmetries of the shape’s linearized contour. The ce...
