Although the notion of generality is central in mathematics and science, being able to identify and express general patterns and/or articulating structures is one of the main dif...
One of the important steps in gradient-based edge detection is thresholding, e.g., hysteresis thresholding in the Canny detector. Traditional approaches use gradient magnitude as ...
This paper introduces a rotation invariant extension to the blur insensitive local phase quantization texture descriptor. The new method consists of two stages, the first of whic...
Fingerprint is one of the biometrics used to identify a person. Alignment is an important step in fingerprint recognition, affecting greatly the speed and accuracy of matching. Ei...
