Background: Cheiloscopy, the study of lip prints, is an upcoming tool for the identification of persons. The lip print of every person is unique and can be used to fix personal identity. Aim: The prime objective of the present study was to ascertain whether the lip prints behold the potential for determination of sex of the individual from the configuration. Methods: The lip prints were recorde...

The grooves and the ridges on the fingers, palms and the soles have aroused scientific interest for centuries. This field, known as dermatoglyphics, has a lot of applications in modern day population and medical research research. The present paper focuses on the different aspects of dermatoglyphics and also its applications. A brief account about the development of dermatoglyphic studies in In...

The finger knuckle print (FKP) of a particular person is found to be unique and can serve as a biometric feature has been revealed recently by the researchers. In this paper finger knuckle print will be used as a biometric feature. The databaseImages from Hong KongPolytechnic Universitywere processed using Kekre’s hybrid wavelet type 1 and type 2 for the generation of results. Kekre’s hybrid wa...

We present a model for fingerprint matching using Bayesian alignment on unlabelled point sets. An efficient Monte Carlo algorithm is developed to calculate the marginal likelihood ratio between the hypothesis that two observed prints originate from the same finger and the hypothesis that they originate from independent fingers. Our model achieves good performance on the NIST-FBI fingerprint dat...

As inkjet printers move into mainstream photography markets, consumers and professionals alike are asking many questions about how the permanence of inkjet prints compares with that of traditional silver halide based, chromogenic color prints. The various factors affecting color print permanence are described. The similarities and differences between inkjet prints and traditional color prints i...

Introduction: Cheiloscopy, the study of lip prints, is an upcoming tool for the identification of persons. The lip print of every person is unique and can be used to determine the personal identity and sex of the individual. Aim: The main objective of the present study was to ascertain whether the lip prints behold the potential for determination of identity and sex of the person. Materials and...

Printing material and prints undergo changes during ageing which can be recognized in deterioration in the physical, chemical and optical properties. The aim of this work is to determine the optical changes of the prints caused by ageing of the printing material and of the prints obtained by the application of the indirect electrophotography. The change of the screen elements in lighter halfton...
