Changes in gait patterns provide important information about individuals' health. To perform sensor based gait analysis, it is crucial to develop methodologies to automatically segment single strides from continuous movement sequences. In this study we developed an algorithm based on time-invariant template matching to isolate strides from inertial sensor signals. Shoe-mounted gyroscopes and ac...

The main aim of this study is to propose efficient algorithms for image template matching on parallel machines. To our knowledge there is no a template matching algorithm that converts the template image and all candidate blocks in the source image from two-dimensions into one-dimension. This study proposes a Template Matching Vectoring Algorithm (TMVA) that reduces the amount of data to be ana...

This paper represents a template matching using statistical model and parametric template for multi-template. This algorithm consists of two phases: training and matching phases. In the training phase, the statistical model created by principal component analysis method (PCA) can be used to synthesize multi-template. The advantage of PCA is to reduce the variances of multi-template. In the matc...

We present a method for automatic image annotation (AIA) and retrieval based on query-by-example (QBE) by region-based shape matching. The proposed method consists of two parts: region selection and shape matching. In the rst part, the image is partitioned into disjoint, connected regions with more-or-less uniform color, whose boundaries coincide with spatial edge locations. Each region or vali...

Most of the existing fingerprint retrieval systems are based on the overall characteristics and detailed features of fingerprints, and their performance is poor in the cases of low-quality fingerprint images, such as incomplete fingerprint images. In order to improve the recognition speed, accuracy, and robustness of automated fingerprint recognition systems based on large-scale fingerprint dat...

We propose a novel method based on template matching for the recognition of liquid water, cubic ice (ice Ic), hexagonal Ih), clathrate hydrates, and different interfacial structures in atomistic coarse-grained simulations water ice. The two matrices represent staggered eclipsed conformations, which are building blocks crystals. algorithm is rotationally invariant highly robust against imperfect...

Although it is well known that cross correlation can be efficiently implemented in the transform domain, the normalized form of cross correlation preferred for template matching applications does not have a simple frequency domain expression. Normalized cross correlation is usually computed in the spatial domain for this reason. This short paper shows that unnormalized cross correlation can be ...
