Advances in Biometrics

Third International Conferences, ICB 2009, Alghero, Italy, June 2-5, 2009, Proceedings

By: Massimo Tistarelli,Mark S. Nixon

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Biometrics, ICB 2009, held in Alghero, Italy, June 2-5, 2009. The 36 revised full papers and 93 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 250 submissions. Biometric criteria covered by the papers are assigned to face, speech, fingerprint and palmprint, multibiometrics and security, gait, iris, and other biometrics. In addition there are 4 papers on challenges and competitions that currently are under way, thus presenting an overview on the evaluation of biometrics.

Feature Extraction and Image Processing for Computer Vision

By: Mark Nixon,Alberto S. Aguado

Feature Extraction and Image Processing for Computer Vision is an essential guide to the implementation of image processing and computer vision techniques, with tutorial introductions and sample code in Matlab. Algorithms are presented and fully explained to enable complete understanding of the methods and techniques demonstrated. As one reviewer noted, "The main strength of the proposed book is the exemplar code of the algorithms." Fully updated with the latest developments in feature extraction, including expanded tutorials and new techniques, this new edition contains extensive new material on Haar wavelets, Viola-Jones, bilateral filtering, SURF, PCA-SIFT, moving object detection and tracking, development of symmetry operators, LBP texture analysis, Adaboost, and a new appendix on color models. Coverage of distance measures, feature detectors, wavelets, level sets and texture tutorials has been extended. Named a 2012 Notable Computer Book for Computing Methodologies by Computing Reviews Essential reading for engineers and students working in this cutting-edge field Ideal module text and background reference for courses in image processing and computer vision The only currently available text to concentrate on feature extraction with working implementation and worked through derivation

Image Pattern Recognition

Synthesis and Analysis in Biometrics

By: Svetlana N. Yanushkevich,Mark S. Nixon

The field of biometrics utilizes computer models of the physical and behavioral characteristics of human beings with a view to reliable personal identification. The human characteristics of interest include visual images, speech, and indeed anything which might help to uniquely identify the individual. The other side of the biometrics coin is biometric synthesis OCo rendering biometric phenomena from their corresponding computer models. For example, we could generate a synthetic face from its corresponding computer model. Such a model could include muscular dynamics to model the full gamut of human emotions conveyed by facial expressions. This book is a collection of carefully selected papers presenting the fundamental theory and practice of various aspects of biometric data processing in the context of pattern recognition. The traditional task of biometric technologies OCo human identification by analysis of biometric. data OCo is extended to include the new discipline of biometric synthesis.

Digital Electronics: A Primer - Introductory Logic Circuit Design

By: Mark S Nixon

This practical introduction explains exactly how digital circuits are designed, from the basic circuit to the advanced system. It covers combinational logic circuits, which collect logic signals, to sequential logic circuits, which embody time and memory to progress through sequences of states. The primer also highlights digital arithmetic and the integrated circuits that implement the logic functions.Based on the author's extensive experience in teaching digital electronics to undergraduates, the book translates theory directly into practice and presents the essential information in a compact, digestible style. Worked problems and examples are accompanied by abbreviated solutions, with demonstrations to ensure that the design material and the circuits' operation are fully understood.This is essential reading for any electronic or electrical engineering student new to digital electronics and requiring a succinct yet comprehensive introduction.

Human Identification Based on Gait

By: Mark S. Nixon,Tieniu Tan,Rama Chellappa

Human Identification Based on Gait is the first book to address gait as a biometric. Biometrics is now in a unique position where it affects most people's lives. This is especially true of "gait", which is one of the most recent biometrics. Recognizing people by the way they walk and run implies analyzing movement which, in turn, implies analyzing sequences of images, thus requiring memory and computational performance that became available only recently. Human Identification Based on Gait introduces developments from distinguished researchers within this relatively new area of biometrics. This book clearly establishes how human gait is biometric. Human Identification Based on Gait is structured to meet the needs of professionals in industry, as well as advanced-level students in computer science.

He Rode with Butch and Sundance

The Story of Harvey (Kid Curry) Logan

By: Mark T. Smokov

The definitive biography of infamous western outlaw Harvey Alexander Logan, better known as Kid Curry. A violent conflict with a ranching neighbor in Montana caused him to flee to the Hole-in-the-Wall valley in Wyoming, where he became involved in rustling and eventually graduated to bank and train robbing as a member of the Wild Bunch. This outlaw group was a melding of the best of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang and Butch Cassidy's Powder Springs gang. Smokov shows that Curry was not the bloodthirsty killer that many have claimed. He contends that Curry was the actual train robbing leader of the Wild Bunch.

D'oh! Fourier: Theory, Applications, And Derivatives

By: Mark S Nixon

D'oh! Fourier introduces the Fourier transform and is aimed at undergraduates in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Applied Sciences, as well as for those wishing to extend their education. Formulated around ten key points, this accessible book is light-hearted and illustrative, with many applications. The basis and deployment of the Fourier transform are covered applying real-world examples throughout inductively rather than the theoretical approach deductively.The key components of the textbook are continuous signals analysis, discrete signals analysis, image processing, applications of Fourier analysis, together with the origin and nature of the transform itself. D'oh! Fourier is reproducible via MATLAB/Octave and is supported by a comprehensive website which provides the code contained within the book.
