In this work a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based feature dimensionality reduced approach for fingerprint matching is proposed. The DCT is applied on a small region around the core point of fingerprint image. The performance of our proposed method is evaluated on a small database of Bologna University and two large databases of FVC2000. A dimensionally reduced feature vector is formed using ...

This paper describes an efficient watermarking technique for use to protect fingerprint images. The rationale is to embed the watermarks into the ridges area of the fingerprint images so that the technique is inherently robust, yields imperceptible watermarks, and resists well against cropping and/or segmentation attacks. The proposed technique improves the performance of optimum multibit water...

This talk concerns about mathematical mechanism for transmission error concealment. The previous methods involve concealing the transmission error for DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) based compression line (e.g. MPEG and JEPG adopted by ISO/IEC). In this talk, we consider the mechanism to recover the transmission error of DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) based compression process. Also operation...

In this paper, a transform based methodology is presented for compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The methodology employs different transforms such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). A comparative study of performance of different transforms for ECG signal is made in terms of Compression ratio (CR), Percent root mean...

image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...
