ICAR Technical Series No 3 Animal breeding aims for genetic improvement of livestock by utilising the genetic variation available, both within breeds and between breeds. The animal genetic variation can be used to accommodate interests and farmers’ wishes to make livestock more efficient in using available resources to produce human food and other agricultural products. In general, improved per...

Image watermarking with both insensible detection and high robustness capabilities is still a challenging problem. Even if some of the watermarking areas involve huge financial implication, there are relatively fewer efforts presented, which primarily focus the sustainability against some attacks, which are specific to financial application area particularly. One of such application area is “Fi...

Abstract ICAR, Identity Card Automatic Reader, consists of a system for reading identity cards like passports, identity documents and driver licenses. First, document image is acquired by an own acquisition device based on a digital camera chip. Then, the image is analyzed in order to identify document type among a set of predefined models using local features analysis and text localization. Id...
