For finger-vein recognition, many successful methods, such as Line Tracking (LT), Maximum Curvature (MC) and Wide Line Detector (WL), have been proposed. Among these, LT has a very slow matching and feature-extraction phase, and LT, MC and WL are translation and rotation dependent. Moreover, we show in the paper, they are affected by noise. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose using popular feature descriptors widely used for several Computer Vision or Pattern Recognition (CVPR) problems in the literature. The CVPR descriptors we test include Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), Fourier Descriptors (FD), Zernike Moments (ZM), Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Global Binary Patterns (GBP), which have not been applied to the finger-vein recognition problem before. We compare these descriptors against LT, MC, and WL and evaluate their running times, performance and resilience against noise, rotation and translation. We report that the LT and WL methods accuracy are comparable to each other and WL gives the best accuracy, LT method's speed is the slowest. Our results indicate that WL can be used together with ZM and GBP in case of rotation and noise, respectively.

Assessment of alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-story frame buildings: A case study Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-07-01) In regions with sparse ground motion data, simulations provide alternative acceleration time series for evaluation of the dynamic response of a structure. Different ground motion simulation methods provide varying levels of goodness of fit between observed and synthetic data. Before using the seismologically acceptable synthetic records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of synthetics in predicting observed seismic responses of structures. For this purpose, in this study ...
Towards finding optimal mixture of subspaces for data classification Musa, Mohamed Elhafiz Mustafa; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) In pattern recognition, when data has different structures in different parts of the input space, fitting one global model can be slow and inaccurate. Learning methods can quickly learn the structure of the data in local regions, consequently, offering faster and more accurate model fitting. Breaking training data set into smaller subsets may lead to curse of dimensionality problem, as a training sample subset may not be enough for estimating the required set of parameters for the submodels. Increasing the ...
Analysis of Face Recognition Algorithms for Online and Automatic Annotation of Personal Videos Yılmaztürk, Mehmet; Ulusoy Parnas, İlkay; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan (Springer, Dordrecht; 2010-05-08) Different from previous automatic but offline annotation systems, this paper studies automatic and online face annotation for personal videos/episodes of TV series considering Nearest Neighbourhood, LDA and SVM classification with Local Binary Patterns, Discrete Cosine Transform and Histogram of Oriented Gradients feature extraction methods in terms of their recognition accuracies and execution times. The best performing feature extraction method and the classifier pair is found out to be SVM classification...
Evaluation of multi target tracking algorithms in the presence of clutter Güner, Onur; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis describes the theoretical bases, implementation and testing of a multi target tracking approach in radar applications. The main concern in this thesis is the evaluation of the performance of tracking algorithms in the presence of false alarms due to clutter. Multi target tracking algorithms are composed of three main parts: track initiation, data association and estimation. Two methods are proposed for track initiation in this work. First one is the track score function followed by a threshold c...
Analysis Window Length Selection For Linear Signal Models Yazar, Alper; Candan, Çağatay (2015-05-19) A method is presented for the selection of analysis window length, or the number of input samples, for linear signal modeling without compromising the model assumptions. It is assumed that the signal of interest lies in a known linear space and noisy samples of the signal is provided. The goal is to use as many signal samples as possible to mitigate the effect of noise without violating the assumptions on the model. An application example is provided to illustrate the suggested method.
