In order to solve this problem effectively, a deep learning model for vector road data matching is proposed based on siamese neural network and VGG16 convolutional neural network, and matching experiments are carried out. Experimental results show that the proposed vector road data matching model can achieve an accuracy of more than 90% under certain data support and threshold conditions.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a minutia matching method based on line segment vector. This method uses all the detected minutiae (the ridge ending and the ridge bifurcation) in a fingerprint image to create a set of new vectors (line segment vector). Using these vectors, we can determine a truer reference point more efficiently. In addition, this new minutiae vector can also increase the accuracy of the minutiae matching. By experiment on the public domain collections of fingerprint images fvc2004 DID set A and DB4 set A, the result shows that our algorithm can obtain an improved verification performance.展开更多

In this algorithm, a sorted codebook is generated regarding the mean values of all codewords. During the encoding stage, high correlation of the adjacent image blocks is utilized, and a searching range is obtained in the sorted codebook according to the mean value of the current processing vector. In order to gain good performance, proper THd and NS are predefined on the basis of experimental experiences and additional distortion limitation. The expermental results show that the MMCVQ algorithm is much faster than the full-search VQ algorithm, and the encoding quality degradation of the proposed algorithm is only 0.3~0.4 dB compared to the full-search VQ.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a 1-D template matching algorithm which is an alternative for 2-D full search block matching algorithms. Our approach consists of three steps. In the first step the images are converted from 2-D into 1-D by summing up the intensity values of the image in two directions horizontal and vertical. In the second step, the template matching is performed among 1-D vectors using the similarity function sum of square difference. Finally, the decision will be taken based on the value of similarity function. Transformation template image and sub-images in the source image from 2-D grey level information into 1-D information vector reduce the dimensionality of the data and accelerate the computations. Experimental results show that the computational time of the proposed approach is faster and performance is better than three basic template matching methods. Moreover, our approach is robust to detect the target object with changes of illumination in the template also when the Gaussian noise added to the source image.展开更多
