Data Management and Internet Computing for Image/Pattern Analysis
focuses on the data management issues and Internet computing aspect
of image processing and pattern recognition research. The book
presents a comprehensive overview of the state of the art,
providing detailed case studies that emphasize how image and
pattern (IAP) data are distributed and exchanged on sequential and
parallel machines, and how the data communication patterns in low-
and higher-level IAP computing differ from general numerical
computation, what problems they cause and what opportunities they
provide. The studies also describe how the images and matrices
should be stored, accessed and distributed on different types of
machines connected to the Internet, and how Internet resource
sharing and data transmission change traditional IAP computing.
Data Management and Internet Computing for Image/Pattern Analysis
is divided into three parts: the first part describes several
software approaches to IAP computing, citing several representative
data communication patterns and related algorithms; the second part
introduces hardware and Internet resource sharing in which a wide
range of computer architectures are described and memory management
issues are discussed; and the third part presents applications
ranging from image coding, restoration and progressive
transmission. Data Management and Internet Computing for
Image/Pattern Analysis is an excellent reference for researchers
and may be used as a text for advanced courses in image processing
and pattern recognition.
Biometric Solutions for Authentication in an E-World provides a
collection of sixteen chapters containing tutorial articles and new
material in a unified manner. This includes the basic concepts,
theories, and characteristic features of integrating/formulating
different facets of biometric solutions for authentication, with
recent developments and significant applications in an E-world.
This book provides the reader with a basic concept of biometrics,
an in-depth discussion exploring biometric technologies in various
applications in an E-world. It also includes a detailed description
of typical biometric-based security systems and up-to-date coverage
of how these issues are developed. Experts from all over the world
demonstrate the various ways this integration can be made to
efficiently design methodologies, algorithms, architectures, and
implementations for biometric-based applications in an E-world.
Image technology is a continually evolving field with various
applications such as image processing and analysis, biometrics,
pattern recognition, object tracking, remote sensing, medicine
diagnoses and multimedia. Significant progress has been made in the
level of interest in image morphology, neural networks, full color
image processing, image data compression, image recognition, and
knowledge -based image analysis systems.
Computer graphics has been mainly driven by engineering design
processes and has established itself as a dominating methodology in
computer aided design (CAD). Subsequently, computer graphics has
found applications in information visualization, computer art,
digital entertainment, user interfaces, visual programming,
scientific visualization, education and training. Traditionally,
the image technology and the computer graphics technology have
subsumed slightly different goals. In computer graphics, computers
are used to create pictures, animations and simulations. The image
technology, on the other hand, consists of techniques and
methodologies that modify or interpret existing pictures.
Integrated Image and Graphics Technologies attempts to enhance the
access points to both introductory and advanced material in this
area, and to facilitate the reader with a comprehensive reference
for the study of integrated technologies, systems of image and
graphics conveniently and effectively. This edited volume will
provide a collection of fifteen contributed chapters by experts,
containing tutorial articles and new material describing in a
unified way, the basic concepts, theories, characteristic features
of the technology and the integration of image and graphics
technologies, with recent developments and significant
applications.
Integrated Image and Graphics Technologies is designed for a
professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in
industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for
graduate-level students in computer science and engineering.

Biometrics-based authentication and identification are emerging as
the most reliable method to authenticate and identify individuals.
Biometrics requires that the person to be identified be physically
present at the point-of-identification and relies on something
which you are or you do' to provide better security, increased
efficiency, and improved accuracy. Automated biometrics deals with
physiological or behavioral characteristics such as fingerprints,
signature, palmprint, iris, hand, voice and face that can be used
to authenticate a person's identity or establish an identity from a
database. With rapid progress in electronic and Internet commerce,
there is also a growing need to authenticate the identity of a
person for secure transaction processing. Designing an automated
biometrics system to handle large population identification,
accuracy and reliability of authentication are challenging tasks.
Currently, there are over ten different biometrics systems that are
either widely used or under development. Some automated biometrics,
such as fingerprint identification and speaker verification, have
received considerable attention over the past 25 years, and some
issues like face recognition and iris-based authentication have
been studied extensively resulting in successful development of
biometrics systems in commercial applications. However, very few
books are exclusively devoted to such issues of automated
biometrics. Automated Biometrics: Technologies and Systems
systematically introduces the technologies and systems, and
explores how to design the corresponding systems with in-depth
discussion. The issues addressed in this book are highly relevant
to many fundamental concerns of both researchers and practitioners
of automated biometrics in computer and system security.
