Many efforts have been made in recent years to tackle the unconstrained face recognition challenge. For the benchmark of this challenge, the Labeled Faces in theWild (LFW) database has been widely used. However, the standard LFW protocol is very limited, with only 3,000 genuine and 3,000 impostor matches for classification. Today a 97% accuracy can be achieved with this benchmark, remaining a very...
Attributes are helpful to infer high-level semantic knowledge of pedestrians, thus improving the performance of pedestrian tracking, retrieval, re-identification, etc. However, current pedestrian databases are mainly for the pedestrian detection or tracking application, and semantic attribute annotations related to pedestrians are rarely provided. In this paper, we construct an Attributed Pedestrians...
Face antispoofing has now attracted intensive attention, aiming to assure the reliability of face biometrics. We notice that currently most of face antispoofing databases focus on data with little variations, which may limit the generalization performance of trained models since potential attacks in real world are probably more complex. In this paper we release a face antispoofing database which covers...
This study concerns the consensus of a network of agents with general linear or linearised dynamics, whose communication topology contains a directed spanning tree. An observer-type consensus protocol based on the relative outputs of the neighbouring agents is adopted. The notion of consensus region is introduced, as a measure for the robustness of the protocol and as a basis for the protocol design...
This paper presents the key designing principles and attributes of a novel autonomic architecture for enabling efficient mobility and QoS-aware resource management over an integrated IPv6-enabled heterogeneous wireless environment (CDMA cellular/WLAN). The proposed architecture is founded on Generic Autonomic Network Architecture (GANA), a generic framework for realizing autonomic networks introduced...
This paper gives an overview of RFID technology. RFID systems are described in general and a few example cases are given. After that the paper mainly focuses on the hardware requirements for RFIDs. Also real time locationing systems (RTLS) are discussed. This gives the title of the paper a double meaning: `what is the state of the art in RFID' but also what is the available technology to come to locationing...
The rapid growth of WLANs provides an opportunity for appropriately equipped user terminals to access the evolutionary 3GPP services via high speed WLAN at low cost. Interworking of UMTS and WLANs aims to extend 3 GPP services and functionality to the WLAN environment, thus effectively making it a complementary access technology. One of the research challenges for this interworking is the design of...
