Class cohesion is an important object-oriented software quality attributes, and it refers to the degree of relatedness of class attributes and methods. Several class cohesion measures are proposed in the literature, and the impact of considering the special methods (i.e., constructors, destructors, and access and delegation methods) in cohesion calculation is not thoroughly theoretically studie...

Existing approaches to biometric classification with quality measures make a clear distinction between the single-modality applications and the multimodal scenarios. This paper bridges this gap withQ−stack, a stacking-based classifier ensemble, which uses the class-independent signal quality measures and baseline classifier scores in order to improve the accuracy of uniand multimodal biometric ...

Visual quality evaluation is one of the challenging basic problems in image processing. It also plays a central role shaping, implementation, optimization, and testing many methods. The existing assessment methods focused on images corrupted by common degradation types while little attention was paid to color quantization. This spite there wide range applications requiring quantization being us...
