چکیده

We propose a new method of biometric authentication, called agri-biometrics that identifies an individual fruit using a single image of its rind patterns. Our proposed method normalizes the rotations in depth of the fruit and extracts a set of image features, which are compatible to the 'minutiae', from the normalized image; thus, it enables us to apply a state-of-the-art technique of fingerprint matching to identify the rind patterns of fruit. We conducted large-scale experiments to identify/verify 1,776 individual melons in practical situations where the images were taken under different pose and illumination conditions on different days. Our method in the experiments achieved excellent recognition of EER=0.06%. The agri-biometric authentication we propose accomplishes 'verifiable' agri-food traceability and brand protection; once the producers register pictures of their products into the database, anyone can verify the products on hand with the camera of a mobile phone.

Compressed Image Hashing using Minimum Magnitude CSLBP

Image hashing allows compression, enhancement or other signal processing operations on digital images which are usually acceptable manipulations. Whereas, cryptographic hash functions are very sensitive to even single bit changes in image. Image hashing is a sum of important quality features in quantized form. In this paper, we proposed a novel image hashing algorithm for authentication which i...

Secure Bio-Cryptographic Authentication System for Cardless Automated Teller Machines

Security is a vital issue in the usage of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for cash, cashless and many off the counter banking transactions. Weaknesses in the use of ATM machine could not only lead to loss of customer’s data confidentiality and integrity but also breach in the verification of user’s authentication. Several challenges are associated with the use of ATM smart card such as: card clo...

Sugar Accumulation Pattern and Contents in Developing Fruits of two Iranian Melon Cultivars. Taher Barzegar1*, Mojtaba Delshad2, Abdol K. Kashi2, Caroline Mauve3 and Jaleh Ghashghaie4

Soluble sugar accumulation pattern and contents were studied in two Iranian melon cultivars, ‘Suski Sabz’ and ‘Jalali Zard’ (Cucumis melo L. Inodorous). Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents were determined in different mesocarp tissues of developing fruits during days after pollination (DAP). They were characterised by enhanced accumulation of glucose and fructose during early fruit developme...

A Comprehensive Approach for Multi Biometric Recognition Using Sclera Vein and Finger Vein Fusion

Sclera and finger print vein fusion is a new biometric approach for uniquely identifying humans. First, Sclera vein is identified and refined using image enhancement techniques. Then Y shape feature extraction algorithm is used to obtain Y shape pattern which are then fused with finger vein pattern. Second, Finger vein pattern is obtained using CCD camera by passing infrared light through the f...
