Visual search involves the matching of visual input to a "search template," an internal representation of task-relevant information. The present study investigated the contents of the search template during visual search for object categories in natural scenes, for which low-level features do not reliably distinguish targets from nontargets. Subjects were cued to detect people or cars in divers...

The template-based method is one of the most successful approaches to algebraic invariant synthesis. In this method, an algorithm designates a template polynomial p over program variables, generates constraints for p = 0 to be an invariant, and solves the generated constraints. However, this approach often suffers from an increasing template size if the degree of a template polynomial is too hi...

One of the potential vulnerabilities in a biometric system is the leakage of biometric template information, which may lead to serious security and privacy threats. Most of the available template protection techniques fail to meet all the desired requirements of a practical biometric system like revocability, security, privacy, and high matching accuracy. In particular, protecting the fingerpri...

105 www.erpublication.org Abstract— Template Matching is a high level machine-vision technique that identifies a specific part of an image that matches a predefined template image. Template matching is an essential task in image processing in many applications, including remote sensing, computer vision, medical imaging, and industrial inspection. In Template matching, small object is compared t...

Problem statement: Template matching is a famous methodology that has a wide range of applications in image and signal processing. For a template and input image, template matching methodology finds the partial input image that is most closely matches the template image in terms of specific criterion such as the Euclidean distance or cross-correlation. Approach: In this study, a fast and robust...

This paper describes a computer vision system to detect card counters and dealer errors in a game of Blackjack from an overhead stereo camera. Card counting is becoming increasingly popular among casual Blackjack players, and casinos are eager to find new systems of dealing with the issue. There are several existing systems on the market; however, these solutions tend to be overly expensive, re...

Most research related to automated analysis of music presupposes human partitioning of the input into segments corresponding to significant harmonic or melodic chunks. In this paper, we describe HarmAn, a system that partitions tonal music into harmonically significant segments corresponding to single chords and labels these segments with the proper chord labels. Segment labels are determined t...

A technique for classifying variable objects using flexible template models is described. A model representing each class of object is generated from training examples and during recognition each model is fitted to the input image. The object represented by the model that maximises a fit measure is recognised as the input. The method has been tested on plant seeds, handprinted characters and hu...
