Proof-of-concept and evaluation of a dual function visible/NIR camera for iris authentication in smartphones
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-05)
As a robust method of person authentication, iris biometrics is making its way in to consumer devices such as smartphones. Current iris image acquisition devices typically work under controlled environment and constrained ...
Champions in our midst: the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
(IEEE, 2016-01)
In this issue, we are very proud to introduce you to one of the best-known early pioneers of the computer industry. His work on the early Apple computers catalyzed today's home computer industry, and he participated directly ...
Biometric technology and smartphones: a consideration of the practicalities of a broad adoption of biometrics and the likely impacts
(IEEE, 2016-04)
The Widespread Global Adoption of Smartphones across all demographics and the rapid commoditization of the technology to the point at which an entry-level device can be sold profitably for less than US$100 suggest that we ...
The Internet of Things: why now, and what's next?
(IEEE, 2016-01)
The technology to connect "things" to the Internet has existed for more than 20 years, so if we take a look back at recent history, we might well be tempted to ask the question "Why now" In this article, I address that ...
Iris authentication in handheld devices - considerations for constraint-free acquisition
(IEEE, 2015-05)
As a near ideal biometric, iris authentication is widely used and mobile acquisition techniques are known. But iris acquisition on handheld imaging devices, such as smartphones, poses multiple, unique challenges. In this ...
Just another year in the consumer electronics industry? [notes from the editor]
(IEEE, 2016-01-01)
Welcome to another CES show issue of IEEE Conumer Electronics Magazine. This issue is aligned with the International CES held in Las Vegas, a global meeting for the consumer electronics (CE) industry where you can view the ...
Automated sorting of consumer image collections using face and peripheral region image classifiers
(IEEE, 2005)
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 ...
An Active-Node Fault Diagnosis System for CEBus Networks
(IEEE, 1995)
The design and implementation of an active-node fault diagnosis system for CEBus networks is described. The system uses an IBM PC with a user-friendly GUI to provide statistical information on network traflic and ...
Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)
One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ...
Automated in-camera detection of flasheye defects
(IEEE, 2005)
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 ...
