TL;DR: A novel and uniform framework for both face identification and verification is presented, based on a combination of Gabor wavelets and General Discriminant Analysis, and can be considered appearance based in that features are extracted from the whole face image and subjected to subspace projection.

TL;DR: A new multimodal biometric database designed and acquired within the framework of the European BioSecure Network of Excellence is presented, comprised of more than 600 individuals acquired simultaneously in three scenarios: over the Internet, in an office environment with desktop PC, and in indoor/outdoor environments with mobile portable hardware.

TL;DR: This paper explicitly reviews the field of multiple classifier decision combination strategies for character recognition, from some of its early roots to the present day and illustrates explicitly how the principles underlying the application of multi-classifier approaches to character recognition can easily generalise to a wide variety of different task domains.

TL;DR: A method for estimating the density of road boundary line segments in the image so that VP detection in an image strip takes into account the detection results in the neighboring image strips, which leads to more accurate detection results.

TL;DR: This analysis demonstrates how detection of various high-level features of the Bengali character set might help formulate successful multistage OCR design.
