In the last decade, market financial forecasting has attracted high interests amongst the researchers in pattern recognition. Usually, the data used for analysing the market, and then gamble on its future trend, are provided as time series; this …
We are living an era in which each of us is immersed in a fully connected environment. The smart devices worn everyday by everyone let the users be projected into the so called IoT world, whose main aim is to provide tools and strategies to solve …
Despite the success obtained in face detection and recognition over the last ten years of research, the analysis of facial attributes still represents a trend topic. Keeping the full face recognition aside, exploring the potentials of soft biometric …
Technology is expected to enhance life in a Smart City: everything is intelligent, digital, interconnected, and inclusive. In addition, all everyday activities are facilitated. This paper presents a biometric authentication strategy based on gait …
Most of the application involving the study of EEG (Electroencephalogram) and ECG (Electrocardiogram) are focused on their usefulness from a medical point of view. In the last decade, these signals have been extensively studied also from other …
In the present paper, we propose a source camera identification (SCI) method for mobile devices based on deep learning. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown a remarkable performance on several tasks such as image recognition, …
Once confined to indoor biometric applications depending on dedicated acquisition devices, recently the iris has proved to be a suitable biometric for in-the-wild ubiquitous person authentication, thanks to continuously improving image …
Hadoop is a software framework allowing for the possibility of coding distributed applications starting from a MapReduce algorithm with very low programming efforts. However, the performance of the implementations resulting from such a …
Knowledge sharing and collaborative production are two essential el- ements for transforming the current learning ecosystems into engines of social and territorial innovation. In response to the growing need for instructors' skills upgrading in this …
The analysis of the shape and geometry of the human hand has long represented an attractive field of research to address the needs of digital image forensics. Over recent years, it has also turned out to be effective in biometrics, where several …
