However, latent fingerprint identification is more complicated than plain and rolled fingerprints mainly due to poor ridge quality, complex background noise and overlapped structured noise in latent images. Subsequently, a latent-fingerprint image requires to be segmented to extract the fingerprint region from the background. The paper proposes a novel and efficient technique for latent-fingerprint segmentation. Our approach is based mainly on two fundamental ideas: i) applying the conversion from RGB color model to YCBCR color model and the Gaussian blur technique as a preprocessing before segmentation, and ii) using morphologic active contours without edges to define the fingerprint region based on an evolving contour that starts its rapid evolution in a stable state from the inside fingerprint. The technique is tested on two fingerprint databases: FVC2004 and NIST SD27. Our experimental results evaluate the miss-classified pixels and yield high segmentation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":384018,"journal":{"name":"2020 5th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129619606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, this paper introduces an approach for traffic vehicle detection based on multi-scale covariance descriptor (MSCOV) for the image description and support vector machine classifier (SVM) for the data classification. This method is evaluated and compared to existing detection approach.

Thus, the existence of a considerable body of literature on drought monitoring. However, significant growth of remote sensing databases as will an increased amount of available data related to drought have been detected. Therefore, a more adequate approach should be developed. During the past decades, Data Mining (DM) methods have been introduced for drought monitoring. According to the best of our knowledge, a review of drought monitoring using remote sensing data and DM methods is lacking. Thereby, the purpose of this paper is to review and discuss the applications of DM methods.

We will use three different datasets and propose an automatically matching algorithm that measures the semantic similarity between each two features existing on different datasets.

Spinal cord (SC) atrophy occurs at the onset of MS and there is a correlation between atrophy and disability development. Generally, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive method, which allows the visualization of demyelination plaques and the quantification of spinal cord atrophy.
