    Puja S. Prasad1, Adepu Sree Lakshmi1, Sandeep Kautish2, Simar Preet Singh3, Rajesh Kumar Shrivastava3, Abdulaziz S. Almazyad4, Hossam M. Zawbaa5, Ali Wagdy Mohamed6,7,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 725-739, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.030640

    Abstract Pupil dynamics are the important characteristics of face spoofing detection. The face recognition system is one of the most used biometrics for authenticating individual identity. The main threats to the facial recognition system are different types of presentation attacks like print attacks, 3D mask attacks, replay attacks, etc. The proposed model uses pupil characteristics for liveness detection during the authentication process. The pupillary light reflex is an involuntary reaction controlling the pupil’s diameter at different light intensities. The proposed framework consists of two-phase methodologies. In the first phase, the pupil’s diameter is calculated by applying stimulus (light) in one eye… More >

    Fusion of Hash-Based Hard and Soft Biometrics for Enhancing Face Image Database Search and Retrieval

    Ameerah Abdullah Alshahrani*, Emad Sami Jaha, Nahed Alowidi

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3489-3509, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.044490

    Abstract The utilization of digital picture search and retrieval has grown substantially in numerous fields for different purposes during the last decade, owing to the continuing advances in image processing and computer vision approaches. In multiple real-life applications, for example, social media, content-based face picture retrieval is a well-invested technique for large-scale databases, where there is a significant necessity for reliable retrieval capabilities enabling quick search in a vast number of pictures. Humans widely employ faces for recognizing and identifying people. Thus, face recognition through formal or personal pictures is increasingly used in various real-life applications, such as helping crime investigators… More >

    Estimating Anthropometric Soft Biometrics: An Empirical Method

    Bilal Hassan1,*, Hafiz Husnain Raza Sherazi2, Mubashir Ali3, Yusra Siddiqi2

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 2727-2743, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.039275

    Abstract Following the success of soft biometrics over traditional biometrics, anthropometric soft biometrics are emerging as candidate features for recognition or retrieval using an image/video. Anthropometric soft biometrics uses a quantitative mode of annotation which is a relatively better method for annotation than qualitative annotations adopted by traditional biometrics. However, one of the most challenging tasks is to achieve a higher level of accuracy while estimating anthropometric soft biometrics using an image or video. The level of accuracy is usually affected by several contextual factors such as overlapping body components, an angle from the camera, and ambient conditions. Exploring and developing… More >

    Fine-Grained Soft Ear Biometrics for Augmenting Human Recognition

    Ghoroub Talal Bostaji*, Emad Sami Jaha

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 1571-1591, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039701

    Abstract Human recognition technology based on biometrics has become a fundamental requirement in all aspects of life due to increased concerns about security and privacy issues. Therefore, biometric systems have emerged as a technology with the capability to identify or authenticate individuals based on their physiological and behavioral characteristics. Among different viable biometric modalities, the human ear structure can offer unique and valuable discriminative characteristics for human recognition systems. In recent years, most existing traditional ear recognition systems have been designed based on computer vision models and have achieved successful results. Nevertheless, such traditional models can be sensitive to several unconstrained… More >

    Iris Recognition Based on Multilevel Thresholding Technique and Modified Fuzzy c-Means Algorithm

    Slim Ben Chaabane1,2,*, Rafika Harrabi1,2, Anas Bushnag1, Hassene Seddik2

    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.4, No.4, pp. 201-214, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jai.2022.032850

    Abstract Biometrics represents the technology for measuring the characteristics of the human body. Biometric authentication currently allows for secure, easy, and fast access by recognizing a person based on facial, voice, and fingerprint traits. Iris authentication is one of the essential biometric methods for identifying a person. This authentication type has become popular in research and practical applications. Unlike the face and hands, the iris is an internal organ, protected and therefore less likely to be damaged. However, the number of helpful information collected from the iris is much greater than the other biometric human organs. This work proposes a new… More >

    Muhammad Attique Khan1, Awais Khan1, Majed Alhaisoni2, Abdullah Alqahtani3, Ammar Armghan4, Sara A. Althubiti5, Fayadh Alenezi4, Senghour Mey6, Yunyoung Nam6,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 5087-5103, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.033856

    Abstract Human gait recognition (HGR) is the process of identifying a subject (human) based on their walking pattern. Each subject is a unique walking pattern and cannot be simulated by other subjects. But, gait recognition is not easy and makes the system difficult if any object is carried by a subject, such as a bag or coat. This article proposes an automated architecture based on deep features optimization for HGR. To our knowledge, it is the first architecture in which features are fused using multiset canonical correlation analysis (MCCA). In the proposed method, original video frames are processed for all 11… More >

    A Privacy-Preserving System Design for Digital Presence Protection

    Eric Yocam1, Ahmad Alomari2, Amjad Gawanmeh3,*, Wathiq Mansoor3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.2, pp. 3091-3110, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.032826

    Abstract A person’s privacy has become a growing concern, given the nature of an expansive reliance on real-time video activities with video capture, stream, and storage. This paper presents an innovative system design based on a privacy-preserving model. The proposed system design is implemented by employing an enhanced capability that overcomes today’s single parameter-based access control protection mechanism for digital privacy preservation. The enhanced capability combines multiple access control parameters: facial expression, resource, environment, location, and time. The proposed system design demonstrated that a person’s facial expressions combined with a set of access control rules can achieve a person’s privacy-preserving preferences.… More >
