In this paper, a set of shape features which was based on the special characteristics of Chinese signatures was proposed for off-line Chinese signature verification. Another set of high-pressure features was also developed to extract timing and dynamic information indirectly from the signature image. A database of 100 genuine signatures and 50 simple forgeries was used to investigate the effectiveness of these two sets. Though shape features and high-pressure features had an error rate of 6.5% and 20.0% respectively, the collective use of these two sets reduced the error rate of simple forgery verification to 2.5%. It was concluded that combined use of static and dynamic information is an effective way for off-line Chinese signature verification.

Since the mid-1970s, a large number of visual inspection systems and algorithms for industrial inspection have been developed. To be acceptable in industry, vision systems must be inexpensive, within the speed of the production-line flow, and very accurate. Furthermore the system should be flexible enough to accommodate changes in products. This flexibility can only be achieved by a modular concept that allows a quick and inexpensive adaption of the inspection process to changes in production. This paper presents a concept for visual inspection where the detection of primitives is separated from the model-based analysis process. Existing patternrecognition software is re-used in the detection stage and therefore the use of any detection algorithm is possible without changing the analysis process. The visual inspection of analog display measuring instruments serves as a demonstration of this concept. Results concerning time, accuracy, and reliability for the specific inspection task are given at the end of the paper.

The basic limitations of the current appearance-based matching methods using eigenimages are non-robust estimation of coefficients and inability to cope with problems related to occlusions and segmentation. In this paper we present a new approach which successfully solves these problems. The major novelty of our approach lies in the way how the coefficients of the eigenimages are determined. Instead of computing the coefficients by a projection of the data onto the eigenimages, we extract them by a hypothesize-and-test paradigm using subsets of image points. Competing hypotheses are then subject to a selection procedure based on the Minimum Description Length principle. The approach enables us not only to reject outliers and to deal with occlusions but also to simultaneously use multiple classes of eigenimages.

The main concern in imageprocessing is computation cost. Markov random fields (MRF) based algorithms particularly require a significant computation cost. Most of implementations of this kind of algorithms are made on parallel machines. This paper investigates an original solution for real time implementation of a robust MRF-based motion detection algorithm. A PC board, based on a pipeline architecture using a single powerfull DSP and FPGA components, is developed. The algorithm and the board are described. A processing rate of 15 images per second is achieved, showing the validity of this approach.
We propose an extension of RBF networks which includes a mechanism for optimizing the complexity of the network. The approach involves two procedures: adaptation (training) and selection. The first procedure adaptivel...

We describe the design and implementation of an online fingerprint verification system which operates in two stages: (i) minutia extraction and (ii) minutia matching. An improved minutia extraction algorithm that is much faster and more accurate than our earlier algorithm has been implemented. For minutia matching, an alignment-based elastic matching algorithm has been developed. This algorithm is capable of finding the correspondences between input minutiae and the stored template without resorting to exhaustive search and has the ability to adaptively compensate for the nonlinear deformations and inexact pose transformations between finger prints. The system has been tested on two sets of finger print images captured with inkless scanners. The verification accuracy is found to be over 99% with a 15% reject rate. Typically, a complete fingerprint verification procedure takes, on an average, about 8 seconds on a SPARC 20 workstation. It meets the response time requirements of on-line verification with high accuracy.
The problem addressed in this paper is related to displaying a real 3-D scene from any viewpoint. To display a scene, a relatively sparse set of 2-D reference views is stored. The images that are in between the refere...

Stereo computation is one of the vision problems where the presence of outliers cannot be neglected. Most standard algorithms make unrealistic assumptions about noise distributions, which leads to erroneous results that cannot be corrected in subsequent postprocessing stages. In this paper we present a modification of the standard area-based correlation approach so that it can tolerate a significant number of outliers. The approach exhibits a robust behavior not only in the presence of mismatches but also in the case of depth discontinuities. The confidence measure of the correlation and the number of outliers provide two complementary sources of information which, when implemented in a multiresolution framework, result in a robust and efficient method. We present the results of this approach on a number of synthetic and real images.
