A complete fingerprint analysis system is described. The design and architecture of a loadable device driver for a USB fingerprint sensor is described. Image processing filters to enhance the raw image data and to extract ...

An evaluation of techniques and recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. A working implementation of an automatic cataloging tool and user search tools ...

This paper examines the problem of performing automated real-time detection of flash eye defects (redeye) in the firmware of a digital camera. Several different algorithms are compared, timing and memory requirements ...

This paper realizes an investigation of the active appearance model (AAM) techniques, with particular emphasis on problems related to the implementation of AAM in realtime face tracking applications for embedded systems. ...

PTP/IP is a new connectivity standard for networked imaging appliances which combines the ease of use and seamless connectivity of picture transfer protocol (PTP) with the ubiquity of TCP/IP networks. In this paper we ...

In this paper we propose a simple method for decomposing the linear texture space of a facial appearance model into two linear subspaces, one for inter-individual variability and another for variations caused by directional ...

A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin ...

In this paper we provide preliminary results on a new modeling approach for improved determination of facial expressions from a low-resolution video stream. An initial proof-of-concept using an extension of an Active ...

A real-time stereo imaging system is described. It incorporates dual image acquisition chains on a single FPGA device and is able to provide real-time synchronized video output from twin CMOS imaging sensors. The platform ...

PTP/IP functionality is extended to enable networked devices to be organized in a sequential media processing workflow. The additional device functionality necessary to support this network architecture is not unduly complex ...
