One of the first steps in iris recognition is isolating (or segmenting) the iris from an image of the subject's eye area. This paper investigates new approaches for locating ...
In this paper, we present a new method for detecting curvilinear structures in a gray-scale image. The concept of skeleton extraction is introduced to detect more general structur...
In this paper, two block-based texture methods are proposed for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The approaches use the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) texture feature as the sourc...
A method for lossless compression of large binary images is proposed for applications where spatial access to the image is needed. The method utilizes the advantages of (1) variabl...
Maximum entropy analysis of binary variables provides an elegant way for studying the role of pairwise correlations in neural populations. Unfortunately, these approaches suffer f...
