Automated border control (ABC) systems have been proposed as the best option to satisfy the actual needs that airport security has to face nowadays and in the next years. These…
In recent years, sparse representation and dictionary learning methods have produced state-of-the-art results in many biometric recognition problems such as face, gait and iris recognition. However, when sparse representation-based classification methods are confronted with…
The finger vein recognition system is a secure and a reliable system with the advantage of robustness against malicious attacks. It is more convenient to operate this biometric feature than other biometric…
The global spread revolution of information and information technology is playing a decisive role to social change. Internet has become the most effective way for information transmission, whose role is…
Off the shelf camera based eye pupil center detection has been very popular among computer vision community for the recent years. We propose an accurate and robust regressor based pupil…
Honey bees have played a major role in the history and development of humankind, in particular for nutrition and agriculture. The most important role of the western honey bee (Apis…
This brief presents a submicrowatt, offset-free, and implantable system for a biomedical capacitive sensor. The system is powered by a 13.56-MHz radio frequency signal and performs sensor signal amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, and…
There is a growing interest in developing ultrafast laser sources around 2-μm wavelength range. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a diode-pumped passively mode-locked Tm:YAG ceramic laser using graphene as a mode…
System reliability becomes one of the major design concerns in nanoscale VLSI technologies. To cope with the increasing design complexity and the challenge of cost-efficient reliability improvement, modular and hierarchical…
SESAM modelocked thin-disk lasers have recently reached new frontiers and remain the leading technology in terms of average power and pulse energy, setting new performance levels for ultrafast oscillators. The milestones achieved…
