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 >

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 >

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 >
