Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutiae points) and Level 3 (pores and rid...
Distance functions are an important component in many learning applications. However, the correct function is context dependent, therefore it is advantageous to learn a distance f...
We present an algorithm that extracts the largest shape within a specificclass, starting from a set of image edgels. The algorithm inherits the Best-First Segmentation approach [jp...
This paper describes a new method to recover the sign of the local Gaussian curvature at each point on the visible surface of a 3-D object. Multiple (p > 3) shaded images are a...
