"Automatic biometrics recognition techniques are becoming increasingly important in corporate and public security systems and have increased in methods due to rapid field development. This book discusses classic behavioral biometrics as well as the latest advances in techniques, theoretical...

This project presents a signal controller algorithm to capitalize on the extended information provided by wide-area detection at isolated intersections. Using computer simulation, different control strategies are evaluated and the performance of the proposed wide-area detection system with...

In this report, the authors propose a new approach for vision based longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. The novelty of this approach is the use of binocular vision. Two modules are integrated, consisting of a new, domain-specific, efficient binocular stereo algorithm, and a lane marker...

In this paper, the authors describe the successful combination of a low- level, vision-based surveillance system with a high-level, symbolic reasoner based on dynamic belief networks. This prototype system provides robust, high-level information about traffic scenes. The machine vision component...

At the present time, industries like textile are in constant need of modernisation. Thus, their presence in the high technology area of high performance computing (HPC) based inspection is of strategic interest. Textile manufacturers have to monitor the quality of their products in order to...

The problem of image segmentation can be formulated as one of vector quantization. Although self-organizing networks with competitive learning are useful for vector quantization, they, in their original single-layer structure, are inadequate for image segmentation. This paper proposes and...
