Abstract
Identity recognition is important in many applications including access control and surveillance. Current approaches for identity recognition are based on passwords or PINs that can be lost, stolen or forgotten. Use of biometrics (e.g., face image, fingerprints, and iris image, etc.) for identity recognition is more […]

Abstract
For the best performance of multimedia applications on personal computers, we must carefully consider the interplay between microprocessors and algorithms/applications. The performance of personal computers has improved significantly during the past two decades. Significant portion of the improvement comes from data-level parallelism (e.g., MMX/SSE instructions) and thread-level parallelism (e.g., the latest Intel […]
