Frequency-Domain Methods for Biometric Recognition

28 03 2007

Prof. Vijayakumar Bhagavatula and Dr. Marios Savvides, Carnegie Mellon University
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 […]


Multimodality in Human-Computer Interfaces

28 03 2007

Michael Johnston, AT&T Labs Research and Srinivas Bangalore, AT&T Labs Research
Abstract
The ongoing convergence of the web with telephony, through technologies such as Voice over IP, high-speed mobile data networks, and handheld computers and smartphones, enables the creation of natural and highly effective multimodal interfaces for human-human communication and human-machine interaction with automated services. These interfaces […]

28 03 2007

Dr. Mikko Valkama, Tampere University of Technology and Prof. Visa Koivunen, Helsinki University of Technology
Abstract
Complex-valued (I/Q) signals and systems play a key role in many application areas including communication receivers, array signal processing and biomedical applications. Many spectrally efficient modulation techniques as well as some of the recent radio receiver developments are good examples of […]


Multimedia Signal Processing on Personal Computers

28 03 2007

Yen-Kuang Chen, Intel Corporation
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 […]
