Biometric recognition systems are widely being used in several applications due to its distinctiveness and reliability. In recent years, hand-based person has received much momentum stability, feature richness, reliability higher user acceptability. this paper, we propose a multimodal hand biometric system based on Finger Knuckle Print (FKP) Palmprint. particular, the PCANet deep learning metho...

Large-scale dynamo action due to turbulence in the presence of a linear shear flow is studied. Our treatment is quasilinear and kinematic but is nonperturbative in the shear strength. We derive the integrodifferential equation for the evolution of the mean magnetic field by systematic use of the shearing coordinate transformation and the Galilean invariance of the linear shear flow. For nonheli...

Planar kinematic mapping is applied to the five-position Burmester problem for planar four-bar mechanism synthesis. The problem formulation takes the five distinct rigid body poses directly as inputs to generate five quadratic constraint equations. The five poses are on the fourth order curve of intersection of two hyperboloids of one sheet in the image space. Moreover, the five poses uniquely ...

The forward problem of electrocardiography involves computing the potentials and currents within the body from a known electrical potential distribution or activation sequence in the heart. This paper details an efficient computational model of the human torso for use in electrocardiographic problems. The model uses a combined finite element/boundary element method which uses bicubic Hermite ba...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an adaptive numerical algorithm for forward kinematics analysis of general Stewart platform. Design/methodology/approach – Unlike the convention of developing a set of kinematic equations and then solving them, an alternative numerical algorithm is proposed in which the principal components of link lengths are used as a bridge to analyze the for...

This paper addresses modeling and kinematic analysis of a serial-parallel structure-variable field robot which based on double spirals. Although a few researchers have studied on spiral propulsion mechanism, it is observed in our previous work that the spiral can move forward between gaps of plants and damages to the plants are very little. It can be used to carry measurement devices on investi...

This technical brief presents a refined slabbing method, originally used for free-flying robots, for finding efficient paths for nonholonomic robots. Our method takes kinematic constraints and reversal maneuvers into account. We create orientation levels for each orientation configuration of the robot. The slopes of slabbing lines in each orientation level match the orientation of a robot in th...

The production in hadron-hadron collisions of jet pairs with large rapidity separation and comparable modest transverse momentum is, in principle, described by the perturbative QCD BFKL equation. The measurement of such jet pairs appears well suited to the LHC detectors, with their ability to detect forward jets. We present predictions for dijet cross sections and correlations obtained using a ...
