Despite recent advances in the area of fingerprint identification, fingerprint enrolment continues to be a challenging pattern recognition problem. The first step to this problem is the enhancement of landmarks as well as precise minutiae points (ridge bifurcation and ridge ending), core, plain ridges from a print. Once enhanced, these fingerprint images are then ready to extract features and s...

This study explores the relationship among brand equity, brand relationship and repurchase behaviors. The study uses brand equity as an independent variable to investigate the relationship between brand relationships and repurchase behaviors, taking the consumers of the top three chain store supermarkets in Taiwan as the objects of empirical analysis. The major findings of this study include: c...

Image Compression is a method, which reduces the size of the data to reduce the amount of space required to store the data. The Discrete cosine transform (DCT) is a method for transforms a signal or image from spatial domain to frequency component. It is a widely used technique in image compression. In this paper, we present a lossless discrete cosine transform (DCT) compression technique for t...

this study is a try to explore effects of buyer impulsivity and in-store environment factors on impulse buying in chain stores. path analyses technique was used for analyzing the model and structural equation model and t-value test for evaluating hypothesis. statistical society of this study is consumers of chain stores in tehran. by cochran method 384 people were selected as a sample.450 quest...

This paper presents a dominant color descriptor technique for medical image retrieval. The medical image system will collect and store into medical database. The purpose of dominant color descriptor (DCD) technique is to retrieve medical image and to display similar image using queried image. First, this technique will search and retrieve medical image based on keyword entered by user. After im...

This paper explores the new image processing domain involving images from depth cameras. While depth camera are a 2D array of data, the information they store is three dimensional in nature. Given a good depth image, the question now becomes what can we do with this added information. This paper explores the specific application of image relighting. Signal processing techniques of Guassian and ...

This paper demonstrates the application of Gabor Filter technique to enhance the fingerprint image. This work produces change in Gabor filter design by increasing the quality of an output which helps in higher security applications. The incoming signal in form of image pixel will be convoluted by Gabor filter to define the Edge and vale regions of fingerprint. The main characteristic of this pa...
