[-5]Indoor localization based on WiFi has attracted a lot of research effort because of the widespread application of WiFi. Fingerprinting techniques have received much attention due to their simplicity and compatibility with existing hardware. However, existing fingerprinting localization algorithms may not resist abnormal received signal strength indication (RSSI), such as unexpected environm...

This paper presents a copyright identification scheme for color images that takes advantage of the complementary nature of watermarking and fingerprinting. It utilizes an authentication logo and the extracted features of the host image to generate a fingerprint, which is then stored in a database and also embedded in the host image to produce a watermarked image. When a dispute over the copyrig...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. It is essential to develop an efficient method to build the fingerprinting database of commercial hybrid rice cultivars and their parental lines in seed market for rapid and unambiguous cultivar identification and seed purity analysis as new similar cultivars increasing yearly. The objective of this investigation were to fi...

This paper describes the development of an audio fingerprint called AudioDNA designed to be robust against several distortions including those related to radio broadcasting. A complete system, covering also a fast and efficient method for comparing observed fingerprints against a huge database with reference fingerprints is described. The promising results achieved with the first prototype syst...

DNA fingerprinting is a powerful technology that has revolutionized forensic science. No two individuals can have an identical DNA pattern except identical twins. Such DNA-based technologies have enormous social implications and can help in the fight against crime. This technology has experienced many changes over time with many advancements occurring. DNA testing is a matter of serious concern...

Technical developments in molecular biology have found extensive applications in the field of microbial ecology. Among these techniques, fingerprinting methods such as denaturing gel electrophoresis (DGE, including the three options: DGGE, TGGE and TTGE) has been applied to environmental samples over this last decade. Microbial ecologists took advantage of this technique, originally developed f...

Phenotypic approaches based on metabolic and biological characteristics of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis have been limited due to insufficient discrimination between closely related isolates. In this paper we present performance and convenience of three molecular typing methods: BOX-PCR, random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplification of DNA fragments surrounding rare rest...

Indoor positioning has garnered significant interest over the last decade due to rapidly growing demand for location-based services. As a result, multitude of techniques been proposed localize objects and devices in indoor environments. Wireless fingerprinting, which leverages machine learning, emerged as one most popular approaches its low implementation cost. The prevailing fingerprinting-bas...

MOTIVATION Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based RNA fingerprinting is a powerful tool for the isolation of differentially expressed genes in studies of neoplasia, differentiation or development. Arbitrarily primed RNA fingerprinting is capable of targeting coding regions of genes, as opposed to differential display techniques, which target 3' non-coding cDNA. In order to be of general use and ...
