In general, biometry-based control systems may not rely on individual expected behavior or cooperation to operate appropriately. Instead, such systems should be aware of malicious procedures for unauthorized access attempts. Some works…

In this paper, we address the problem of how automated situation-awareness can be achieved by learning real-world situations from ubiquitously generated mobility data. Without semantic input about the time and space where situations take…

Fingerprint recognition systems, which rely on the unique characteristics of human fingerprints, are essential in modern security and verification applications. Accurate minutiae extraction, a critical step in these systems, depends on the…

We propose Material Fingerprinting, a new method for the rapid discovery of mechanical material models from direct or indirect data that avoids solving potentially non-convex optimization problems. The core assumption of Material…

Multiple people tracking is a key problem for many applications such as surveillance, animation or car navigation, and a key input for tasks such as activity recognition. In crowded environments occlusions and false detections are common,…

This tutorial aims to cover the state-of-the-art on stance detection and address open research avenues for interested researchers and practitioners. Stance detection is a recent research topic where the stance towards a given target or…

Recent applications of machine learning and statistical inference provide case studies demonstrating how such approaches can accelerate the discovery process in physical chemistry and related fields. Examples discussed in this review…

Footprints are left, or obtained, in a variety of scenarios from crime scenes to anthropological investigations. Determining the sex of a footprint can be useful in screening such impressions and attempts have been made to do so using…

Footwear outsoles acquire characteristics unique to the individual wearing them over time. Forensic scientists largely rely on their skills and knowledge, gained through years of experience, to analyse such characteristics on a shoeprint.…

Person identification is a problem that has received substantial attention, particularly in security domains. Gait recognition is one of the most convenient approaches enabling person identification at a distance without the need of…

In view of the fact that biological characteristics have excellent independent distinguishing characteristics,biometric identification technology involves almost all the relevant areas of human distinction. Fingerprints, iris, face,…

Over the last few years, automatic facial micro-expression analysis has garnered increasing attention from experts across different disciplines because of its potential applications in various fields such as clinical diagnosis, forensic…

Object detection or localization is an incremental step in progression from coarse to fine digital image inference. It not only provides the classes of the image objects, but also provides the location of the image objects which have been…

A major challenge in the safety assessment of automated vehicles is to ensure that risk for all traffic participants is as low as possible. A concept that is becoming increasingly popular for testing in automated driving is scenario-based…

The study of fingerprint individuality aims to determine to what extent a fingerprint uniquely identifies an individual. Recent court cases have highlighted the need for measures of fingerprint individuality when a person is identified…

The accurate visual tracking of a moving object is a human fundamental skill that allows to reduce the relative slip and instability of the object's image on the retina, thus granting a stable, high-quality vision. In order to optimize…

Semantic segmentation is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision. However, in many applications, a frequent obstacle is the lack of labeled images, due to the high cost of pixel-level labeling. In this scenario, it makes sense…

The raising availability of 3D cameras and dramatic improvement of computer vision algorithms in the recent decade, accelerated the research of automatic movement assessment solutions. Such solutions can be implemented at home, using…
