In structural health monitoring, temperature compensation is an important step to reduce
systemic errors and avoid false-positive results. Several methods have been developed to …

This paper investigates a new automated personal authentication technique using finger-
knuckle-print (FKP) imaging. First, a specific data acquisition device is developed to capture …

This paper proposes a robust fingerprint-based authentication algorithm that ensures secure
verification even with limited-sized partial fingerprints. It has become increasingly common …

Minutiae-based method is the most popular approach in fingerprint matching. However,
most existing methods need to search for the best correspondence of minutiae pairs or use …

This paper introduces a new method in fingerprint feature extraction based on bit-plane. A
bit-plane image requires smaller storage space than a greyscale image. Region of interest …

Contrary to popular belief, despite decades of research in fingerprints, reliable fingerprint
recognition from large database is an open problem. Extracting features out of poor quality …

Most fingerprint matching algorithms are based on finding correspondences between
minutiae in two fingerprints. In this paper we present a modification of minutiae matching …

This paper discusses about the effects of bit plane extraction in fingerprint recognition. An
alternative approach to recognise a fingerprint from extracted bit plane is analysed in …

Partial fingerprint identification technology which is mainly used in device with small sensor
area like cellphone, U disk and computer, has taken more attention in recent years with its …

We present a communication architecture that uses a distributed active real-time database
system as its communication medium. The proposed architecture incorporates a database …
