Statistical Descriptors for Fingerprint Matching

This paper presents a novel algorithm for fingerprint matching using statistical descriptors. This fingerprint-matching algorithm overcomes the problems faced during matching of low quality fingerprint images. The steps of the algorithm include extraction of core point using Poincare index method, extraction of Region of Interest (ROI) around core point, and similarity evaluation of statistical...

Efficient Image Retrieval with Statistical Color Descriptors

Color has been widely used in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications. In such applications the color properties of an image are usually characterized by the probability distribution of the colors in the image. A distance measure is then used to measure the (dis-)similarity between images based on the descriptions of their color distributions in order to quickly find relevant images. ...

Small and Stable Descriptors of Distributions for Geometric Statistical Problems

This thesis explores how to sparsely represent distributions of points for geometric statistical problems. A coreset C is a small summary of a point set P such that if a certain statistic is computed on P and C, then the difference in the results is guaranteed to be bounded by a parameter ε. Two examples of coresets are εsamples and ε-kernels. An ε-sample can estimate the density of a point set...
