Although last improvements in both physical storage technologies and image handling techniques have eased image managing processes, the large amount of information handled nowadays constantly demands more efficient ways to store and transmit image data streams. Among other alternatives for such...

In this paper, the problem of 3D body registration using a single RGB-D sensor is approached. It has been guided by three main requirements: low-cost, unconstrained movement and accuracy. In order to fit them, an iterative registration method for accurately aligning data from single RGB-D sensor...

The human behaviour analysis has been a subject of study in various fields of science (e.g. sociology, psychology, computer science). Specifically, the automated understanding of the behaviour of both individuals and groups remains a very challenging problem from the sensor systems to artificial...

In the last years, the volume of information is growing faster than ever before, moving from small to huge, structured to unstructured datasets like text, image, audio and video. The purpose of processing the data is aimed to extract relevant information on trends, challenges and opportunities;...

In the creation of new industries, products and services -- all of which are advances of the Fourth Industrial Revolution -- the human-robot interaction that includes automatic learning and computer vision are elements to consider since they promote collaborative environments between people and...

This article describes how the human activity recognition in videos is a very attractive topic among researchers due to vast possible applications. This article considers the analysis of behaviors and activities in videos obtained with low-cost RGB cameras. To do this, a system is developed...

Multicore processor systems are leading the microprocessor industry today. This has placed more pressure upon programmers to write parallel programs that wisely balance load among cores on the same system and optimize performance. On the other hand, the video-form of data is getting more and...

Logo recognition system deals with matching of the input trademark or logo with stored trademark images in database. This application, under CBIR umbrella, focuses on optimizing search through database by extracting minimum features from set of the images and using relevance feedback mechanism...

In this article, a novel watermarking method is proposed which applies the substitution of LSB for low-value parts of the image to embed confidential data. The watermark bits are encoded before being placed. Also, the data on the diameters of the host image blocks are selected on the basis of an...

The objective of this article is to propose rotation invariant fingerprint descriptor, and a faster and better generalized performance classifier. The author proposes a new multi-resolution analysis based fingerprint descriptor, computed from fingerprint orientation pattern called as orientation...
