In this paper, we propose a salient object extraction method using the contrast map and salient points for object-based image retrieval. In order to make the contrast map, we gener...
Integrated circuit cards or smart cards are now well-known. Applications such as electronic purses (cash units stored in cards), subscriber identification cards used in cellular te...
In this paper, we originally propose a multiscale feature extraction method of finger-vein patterns based on curvelets and local interconnection structure neural networks. The cur...
The use of local features in computer vision has shown to be promising. Local features have several advantages including invariance to image transformations, independence of the ba...
This paper describes a new motion based feature extraction technique for speaker identification using orientation estimation in 2D manifolds. The motion is estimated by computing ...
