Most of the approaches available in the literature for the identification of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems rely on the assumption that only the measurements of the output signal are corrupted by the noise, while the observations of the scheduling variable are considered to be noise free. However, in practice, this turns out to be an unrealistic assumption in most of the cases, as the s...

In this paper we present a survey of the literature on Arabic writer identification scheme and up-to date techniques employed in identification. The paper begins with an overview of the various writer identification schemes in Arabic and Persian languages. After that, an attempt is made to describe the complex character of Arabic strokes. Previous studies have used a number of Arabic datasets c...

In recent years, vehicle theft has become an increasing problem worldwide. A staggering number of cars are stolen every year, and up to half of these are never recovered. Thus, vehicle ownership identification is an important security issue. In this paper, based on the triple-trapdoor chameleon hash function and the concept of the hash-sign-switch paradigm, we propose the vehicle ownership iden...

The factorization problem in non-abelian groups is still an open and a difficult problem [12]. The hardness of the problem is illustrated by the moves of the Rubik’s cube. We will define a public key identification scheme based on this problem, in the case of the Rubik’s cube, when the number of moves is fixed to a given value. Our scheme consists of an interactive protocol which is zero-knowle...

In 2010, Heng and Chin (2010) proposed an identity-based identification (IBI) scheme in the standard model which was resilient to a coalition of attackers conspiring together to break the scheme. They argued that the scheme was desirable due to its proof in the standard model, which is still rare in existing literature. Also desirable was that the proposed scheme was designed without bilinear p...

In a multi-lingual multi-script country like India, a postal document may contain words of two or more scripts. For recognition of this document it is necessary to separate different scripts from the document. In this paper, an automatic scheme for word-wise identification of hand-written Roman and Oriya scripts is proposed for Indian postal automation. In the proposed scheme, at first, documen...

It has been shown recently that rigid or affine dynamics of curves defined by algebraic equations can be represented in terms of Riccati dynamics of possibly complex lines. In this work, we develop new Riccati equations in real variables for closed-bounded curves and new recursions on multiplicative scalars in the decomposition of the curve. A parameter identification scheme has also been propo...

We describe a similarity fusion based cover song identification scheme. The Harmonic Pitch Class Profile (HPCP) is chosen as the musical descriptor. First, the similarity between HPCP descriptors of two songs are obtained based on Qmax function and Dmax function, respectively. Then these two similarities are fused via Similarity Network Fusion (SNF) technique, which was originally proposed for ...

Leaves of plants can be classified as being either simple or compound according to their shapes. Compound leaves can be seen as a collection of simple leaf-like structures called leaflets. However, most computer vision-based approaches describe these two leaf categories similarly. In this paper, we propose a new description and identification method for compound leaves that takes into account p...
