An overview of Kansei engineering: a proposal of Kansei informatics toward realising safety and pleasantness of individuals in information network society
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | Tomomasa Nagashima, Hidenori Tanaka, Takashi Uozumi | Kansei engineering is the newly proposed engineering discipline having a novel and unique goal. While its aim has been considered, from the beginning, to construct methodology and technology capable of providing industrial products and serv... | 3 - 19 |
Exploring fingerprint matching through a topology-based perspective
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | Marina L. Gavrilova | In the recent decade, the rapid development of biometric technologies for security applications spurred increased interest in both academic research community and industrial sectors. Still, the fingerprint recognition remains one of the cor... | 20 - 35 |
A new efficient method of fingerprint image enhancement
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | Piotr Porwik, Lukasz Wieclaw | Fingerprint images frequently have poor characteristics, because these traces are captured in crime places and are left on objects of different structure. For this reason, a lot of fingerprints have to be rejected – they are useless in iden... | 36 - 46 |
Dynamic signature recognition based on velocity changes of some features
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | Rafal Doroz, Piotr Porwik, Tomasz Para, Krzysztof Wrobel | Dynamic signature analysis allows us to register individuals and their hidden human behaviour. This paper presents a stroke-based approach to dynamic analysis of signature. Individual features can be identified by finding the discrete signa... | 47 - 62 |
Fingerprint image: pre- and post-processing
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | M. Usman Akram, Anam Tariq, Shoab A. Khan, Sarwat Nasir | Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) are widely used for personal identification due to uniqueness of fingerprints. Minutiae-based fingerprint matching techniques are normally used for fingerprint matching. Fingerprint matchi... | 63 - 80 |
Behavioural biometrics: a survey and classification
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | Roman V. Yampolskiy, Venu Govindaraju | This study is a survey and classification of the state-of-the-art in behavioural biometrics which is based on skills, style, preference, knowledge, motor-skills or strategy used by people while accomplishing different everyday tasks such as... | 81 - 113 |
Interval type-2 fuzzy inference systems as integration methods in modular neural networks for multimodal biometry and its optimisation with genetic algorithms
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | Denisse Hidalgo, Oscar Castillo, Patricia Melin | In this paper a comparative study of fuzzy inference systems as methods of integration in Modular Neural Networks (MNNs) for multimodal biometry is presented. These methods of integration are based on type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic. Also, th... | 114 - 128 |
Comprehensive framework to gait recognition
DOI: 10.1504/IJBM.2008.018660 | C. Nandini, C.N. Ravi Kumar | Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon and typifies the motion characteristics of an individual. The gait of a person is easily recognisable when extracted from a side view of the person. Accordingly, gait-recognition algorithms work be... | 129 - 137 |
