In this paper, it is proposed to improve Daisy Descriptor based face recognition using a novel One-Bit Transform (1BT) based pre-registration approach. The 1BT based preregistration procedure is fast and has low computational complexity. It is shown that the face recognition accuracy is improved with the proposed approach. The proposed approach can facilitate highly accurate face recognition us...

Constructing a distinctive and robust sketch descriptor is one of the most challenging problems in sketch based applications. In this paper, a new hand-drawn sketch descriptor is proposed. The proposed descriptor utilizes the statistic information of multiple features and bag-of-features representation to achieve translation and scale invariance and rotation robustness. The proposed descriptor ...

Shape description is one of the key parts of image content description in MPEG-7. Most of existing shape descriptors are usually either application dependent or non-robust, making them undesirable for generic shape description. In this paper, a generic Fourier descriptor (GFD) is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of existing shape representation techniques. The proposed shape descriptor is der...

the present study is to study linear free energy relationships (lfers) for dechlorination ratesin cement/fe(ii) slurries of eight chlorinated hydrocarbons including carbon tetrachloride, chloroform produced from carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene produced from 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride,...
