A large variety of image features has been invented for detection of objects of a known class. We propose a framework to optimize the discrimination-efficiency tradeoff in integra...
Fingerprint enhancement is a critical step in fingerprint identification. Most of the existing enhancement algorithms are based on local ridge direction. The main drawback of thes...
Abstract: Kernel classifiers based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) have achieved state-ofthe-art results in several visual classification tasks, however, recent publications and d...
