Sparsity-based methods have recently been suggested for tasks such as face and iris recognition. In this project, we evaluated the effectiveness of such methods for automatic target recognition in infrared images. We show how sparsity can be helpful for efficient utilization of data for target recognition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of recognition rate and...

Given the value of imported counterfeit and pirated goods, the need for secure supply chain management is pertinent. Maleki et al. (HOST 2017) propose a new management scheme based on RFID tags (with 2-3K bits NVM) which, if compared to other schemes, is competitive on several performance and security metrics. Its main idea is to have each RFID tag stores its reader events in its own NVM while ...
