This study examines a method of generating comprehensive profiling information for a researcher analysis service. In addition to basic and performance-based information about researchers necessary to generate profiling information, we introduce researcher performance index models for researcher analysis service. The models can that measure qualitative and quantitative performance, researcher in...

In this paper we present a unique approach to personal identification which utilized finger surface features as a biometric identifier. Finger surface features are extracted from dense range images of an individual’s hand. The shape index (a curvature-based surface representation) is used to represent the surfaces of the index, middle, and ring fingers of an individual. This representation is u...

A pictured object can be readily detected in an RSVP sequence when the target is specified by a superordinate category name such as animal or vehicle. Are category features the initial basis for detection, with identification of the specific object occurring in a second stage (Evans & Treisman, 2005), or is identification of the object the basis for detection? When two targets in the same super...

In this paper we propose the discrete cosine transform (DCT) mod 2 feature set, which utilizes polynomial coe2cients derived from 2D DCT coe2cients obtained from spatially neighboring blocks. Face veri%cation results on the multi-session VidTIMIT database suggest that the DCT-mod 2 feature set is superior (in terms of robustness to illumination direction changes and discrimination ability) to f...
