Petri nets have gained increasing usage and acceptance as a basic model of asynchronous
concurrent systems since 1962. As a class of structural objects of Petri nets, siphons play a …

Feature extraction is vital for face recognition. In this paper, we focus on the general feature
extraction framework for robust face recognition. We collect about 300 papers regarding face …

This paper addresses the problem of face recognition when there is only few, or even only a
single, labeled examples of the face that we wish to recognize. Moreover, these examples …

Sparse representation has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool in classification of
hyperspectral images (HSIs). The spatial context of an HSI can be exploited by first defining …

Single-Sample Face Recognition (SSFR) is a computer vision challenge. In this scenario,
there is only one example from each individual on which to train the system, making it …

Various palmprint recognition methods have been proposed and applied in security,
particularly authentication. However, improving the performance of palmprint recognition …

In this chapter, we propose a comparison between two techniques for one-shot person re-
identification from soft biometric cues. One is based upon a descriptor composed of features …

Sparse representation has been widely used in image classification. Sparsity-based
algorithms are, however, known to be time consuming. Meanwhile, recent work has shown …

Palmprint recognition achieves high discrimination for identity verification. Compared with
handcrafted local texture descriptors, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can …

The deep self-organizing map (DSOM) was introduced to embed hierarchical feature
abstraction capability to self-organizing maps (SOMs). This paper presents an extended …
