We present in this communication a new biometric system based on the use of hand veins acquired by an infrared imager. After the preprocessing stage and binarization, the vein imag...
Given an image region of pixels, second order statistics can be used to construct a descriptor for object representation. One example is the covariance matrix descriptor, which sh...

Matching local features across images is often useful when comparing or recognizing objects or scenes, and efficient techniques for obtaining image-to-image correspondences have b...
Image-based representations of an object profit from known geometry. The more accurate this geometry is known, the better corresponding pixels in the different images can be align...
This paper approaches the problem of finding correspondences between images in which there are large changes in viewpoint, scale and illumination. Recent work has shown that scale...
