Facial aging can degrade the face recognition performance dramatically. Traditional face recognition studies focus on dealing with pose, illumination, and expression (PIE) changes. Considering a large span of age difference, the influence of facial aging could be very significant compared to the PIE variations. How big the aging influence could be? What is the relation between recognition accuracy and age intervals? Can soft biometrics be used to improve the face recognition performance under age variations? In this paper we address all these issues. First, we investigate the face recognition performance degradation with respect to age intervals between the probe and gallery images on a very large database which contains about 55,000 face images of more than 13,000 individuals. Second, we study if soft biometric traits, e.g., race, gender, height, and weight, could be used to improve the cross-age face recognition accuracies, and how useful each of them could be.
Due to the weaknesses of Neural Network (NN) learning this paper proposes an alternative approach in enhancing NN learning by integrating improved cost function with control adaptation of the nodes and address memory....

With periocular biometrics gaining attention recently, the goal of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of local appearance features extracted from the periocular region images for soft biométrie classification. We extract gender and ethnicity information from the periocular region images using grayscale pixel intensities and periocular texture computed by Local Binary patterns as our features and a SVM classifier. Results are presented on the visible spectrum periocular images obtained from the FRGC face dataset. For 4232 periocular images of 404 subjects, we obtain a baseline gender and ethnicity classification accuracy of 93% and 91%, respectively, using 5-fold cross validation. Furthermore, we show that fusion of the soft biométrie information obtained from our classification approach with the texture based periocular recognition approach results in an overall performance improvement.

patternrecognition approaches are commonly adopted by many wireless sensor network applications due to their traditional effectiveness in detecting and recognising events. Nonetheless, employing off-the-shelf patternrecognition approaches is generally infeasible. This paper presents a new energy efficient distributed patternrecognition approach based on information processing and sleep mode paradigms of sensor networks. Events of interest are recognised by the cooperative operations of the sensor nodes instead of depending on a base-station. Moreover, the aim of the approach is to attain effective event recognition performance whilst prolonging the network's longevity by switching off sensor nodes and processing sensory data within the network.

In this paper we propose a Hausdorff matching based SVD-covariance descriptor for object tracking. Object tracking is one of the most important tasks in computer vision and covariance descriptor for visual tracking has attracted many researchers in the field. The main issues we want to address in this paper consist of the difficulty brought by the non-Euclidean space elements choice of covariance matrices and the large expenditure caused by the measurement between different models calculated on Riemannian manifolds. We have designed an efficient and discriminative SVD-covariance representation feature. The measurement between the target and candidates can be realized through Hausdorff distance. Theoretically, this reduces the computational cost compared with the original measurement on Riemannian manifolds. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is able to generate the promising feature for visual tracking. Copyright 2010 ACM.

This paper summarises the results of using a patternrecognition approach for classifying the condition of wooden railway sleepers. Railway sleeper inspections are currently done manually; visual inspection being the most common approach, with some deeper examination using an axe to judge the condition. Digital images of the sleepers were acquired to compensate for the human visual capabilities. Appropriate image analysis techniques were applied to further process the images and necessary features such as number of cracks, crack length etc have been extracted. Finally a patternrecognition and classification approach has been adopted to further classify the condition of the sleeper into classes (good or bad). A Support Vector Machine (SVM) using a Gaussian kernel has achieved good classification rate (86%) in the current case.

With the microprocessor as its core, the license plate automatic recognition system is a highly intelligent electronic system based on technologies such as image processing and patternrecognition. The goal of license location algorithm is to accurately identify the position of the license on a motor vehicle license image. The license can appear anywhere on the image with different degrees of tilt and distortion, or it may be stained. Therefore, the algorithm has to take these situations into consideration.

On automatic modulation there are two approaches, decision-theoretic and statistical pattern. An automatic modulation recognition system to recognize four digital signal classes as: MASK, MFSK, MPSK, MQAM is proposed in this paper, which using decision-theoretic based feature set addition to statistical pattern based feature set with VLBP(variable learning rate back-propagation)BP neural network and Bayesian normalized BP neural network. Performance is generally good when Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR) in 0-10dB, simulations show the results even larger than 95%, that confirm the robustness and practicality of this recognition method.

A new iris recognition system based on Wavelet Packet Analysis is described. The most unique phenotypic feature visible in a person's face is the detailed texture of each eye's iris. The visible texture of a person's iris is encoded into a compact sequence of 2-D wavelet packet coefficients, which generate an "iris code". Two different iris codes are compared using exclusively OR comparisons. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-resolution approach based on Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) for iris texture analysis and recognition. The development of this approach is motivated by the observation that dominant frequencies of iris texture are located in the low and middle frequency channels. With an adaptive threshold, WPT sub images coefficients are quantized into 1, 0 or -1 as iris signature. This signature presents the local information of different irises. By using different wavelet packets the size of the iris signature of code attained was 1080 bits. The signature of the new iris pattern is compared against the stored pattern after computing the signature of new iris pattern. Identification is performed by computing the hamming distance.
