The lack of large public retina image databases means it is difficult to judge the relative merits of the retina biometric itself, of different scoring functions, or of potential biocryptographic constructs. We derive conservative theoretical genuine and imposter score distributions for feature point based retina templates by normal kernel density estimation. We base them on 147 images from the VARIA...
Point-pattern matching of minutiae is the most common method used in fingerprint biometrics, but it is generally insufficient by itself. It has particular limitations in matching partial prints or in secure (biocryptographic) matching. Here, we add structure with a new spatial graph represention of a fingerprint, with minutiae as nodes. Using a sample of fingerprint graphs extracted from the FVC2002...
We represent the retina vessel pattern as a spatial relational graph, and match features using error-correcting graph matching. We study the distinctiveness of the nodes (branching and crossing points) compared with that of the edges and other substructures (nodes of degree k, paths of length k). On a training set from the VARIA database, we show that as well as nodes, three other types of graph sub-structure...
The flocculation of coal is typically accomplished by the addition of commercially available polymeric flocculants. Recently it was shown that biopolymers derived from microorganisms can also be used. The biopolymers flocculate coal efficiently and make the coal more hydrophobic. This increase in hydrophobicity can be utilized to separate coal flocs and can be used for reducing the moisture content...
