About this title

Synopsis

Biometrics refers to the authentication techniques that depend on measurable physical characteristics and behavioural characteristics to identify an individual. The biometric systems consist of different stages such as image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction and matching. Biometric techniques are widely used in the security world. The various types of biometric systems use different techniques for the preprocessing, feature extraction and classifiers.The dorsum of the hand is known as the finger back surface. It is highly used for personal authentication and has not yet attracted the attention of convenient researchers. It is mostly used due to contact free image acquisition. It is reported that the skin pattern on the finger-knuckle is extremely rich in texture due to skin folds and creases, and hence, can be considered as a biometric identifier. Furthermore, advantages of using Finger Knuckle Print (FKP) include rich in texture features, easily accessible, contact-less image acquisition, invariant to emotions and other behavioral aspects such as tiredness, stable features and acceptability in the society. As a result of that, there is less known use of finger knuckle pattern in commercial or civilian applications. The local features of an enhanced palmprint image are extracted using Fast Discrete Orthonormal Stockwell Transform (FDOST). The Fourier transform of an image is obtained by increasing the scale of FDOST to infinity. The Fourier transform coefficients extracted from the palmprint image and FKP image are considered as the global information. The local and global information are physically linked by means of the framework of time frequency analysis. The global feature is exploited to refine the arrangement of FKP images in matching. The proposed schemes make use of the local and global features to verify finger knuckle-print images. The weighted average of the local and global matching distances is taken as the final matching distance of two

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
