چکیده
These days software is not just few lines of code and few number of files, it constitute major part of business logic, and most valuable information. Software is required by all kind of people from individuals to large organizations to carry out important tasks. But it is being pirated on large scale, violating software license and leading to copyright infringement. Almost 50% software licenses are pirated accounting over 51.4 billion dollars loss globally. Piracy is killing many software businesses leading to drastic loss for software developers. Under these circumstances there is a need for anti-piracy methods. This paper discuss about a robust yet efficient method for avoiding software piracy. After introducing software piracy methods and general piracy activities carried out by pirates, a mechanism to validate authorized user using face identity is described. A vector based algorithm is explained which detects Facial features of authorized user and generates a user authentication key, which is used for validation during product activation.

The Tangent Earth Mover's Distance
We present a new histogram distance, the Tangent Earth Mover’s Distance (TEMD). The TEMD is a generalization of the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) that is invariant to some global transformations. Thus, like the EMD it is robust to local deformations. Additionally, it is robuster to global transformations such as global translations and rotations of the whole image. The TEMD is formulated as a li...
متن کاملSupervised Earth Mover's Distance Learning and Its Computer Vision Applications
Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) is an intuitive and natural distance metric for comparing two histograms or probability distributions. We propose to jointly optimize the ground distance matrix and the EMD flow-network based on partial ordering of histogram distances in an optimization framework. Two applications in computer vision are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm: firstly...
متن کاملThe Earth Mover's Distance: Lower Bounds and Invariance under Translation
The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between two nite distributions of weight is proportional to the minimum amount of work required to transform one distribution into the other. Current content-based retrieval work in the Stanford Vision Laboratory uses the EMD as a common framework for measuring image similarity with respect to color, texture, and shape content. In this report, we present some fa...
متن کاملVideo-Based Face Recognition Using Earth Mover's Distance
In this paper, we present a novel approach of using Earth Mover’s Distance for video-based face recognition. General methods can be classified into sequential approach and batch approach. Batch approach is to compute a similarity function between two videos. There are two classical batch methods. The one is to compute the angle between subspaces, and the other is to find K-L divergence between ...
متن کاملKernel classification of connectomes based on earth mover's distance between graph spectra
In this paper, we tackle a problem of predicting phenotypes from structural connectomes. We propose that normalized Laplacian spectra can capture structural properties of brain networks, and hence graph spectral distributions are useful for a task of connectome-based classification. We introduce a kernel that is based on earth mover’s distance (EMD) between spectral distributions of brain netwo...
