    Abstract: Most fingerprint recognition applications rely heavily on efficient and fast image enhancement algorithms. Image thinning is a very important stage of image enhancement. A good thinning algorithm preserves the structure of the original fingerprint image, reduces the amount of data needed to process and helps improve the feature extraction accuracy ... Show More

    Abstract: Data mining is a set of techniques and methods relating to the extraction of knowledge from large amounts of data (through automatic or semi-automatic methods) and further scientific, industrial or operational use of that knowledge. Data mining is closely related to the statistics as an applied mathematical discipline with an analysis of data that ... Show More

    Abstract: This paper describes a method for generic object recognition using graph structural expression. In recent years, generic object recognition by computer is finding extensive use in a variety of fields, including robotic vision and image retrieval. Conventional methods use a bag-of-features (BoF) approach, which expresses the image as an appearance f... Show More

    Abstract: Laboratory experiments and research are important parts in natural science education. They supplement the theoretical learning material and contribute to deeper learn of a subject. The realization of such activities requires an ap-propriate laboratory equipment and reagents that are often either inaccessible or incomplete. Virtual labs solve this p... Show More
