The fingerprint is used in many vital applications important to humans, which requires searching for an effective way to extract the characteristics of the fingerprint. In this paper we will study some of the most popular methods used to extract fingerprints features. For each method the efficiency, accuracy, flexibility and sensitivity for image rotation will be experimentally tested, measured, analyzed in order to give good recommendations of how and when to use a certain method of features extraction. A detailed comparison analysis between MLBP, K_means, WPT, Minutiae methods will be done using several color images in various rotation modes to insure the stability of image features.

This chapter describes feature fusion techniques using complex discriminator. After the introduction, we first introduce serial and parallel feature fusion strategies. Then, the complex linear projection analysis methods, complex PCA and complex LDA, are developed. Next, some feature preprocessing techniques are given. The symmetry property of parallel feature fusion is analyzed and revealed. Then, the proposed methods are applied to biometric applications, related experiments are performed and the detailed comparison analysis is exhibited. Finally, a summary is given.

One of the most often used techniques to represent color images is quaternion algebra. This study introduces the quaternion Krawtchouk moments, QKrMs, as a new set of moments to represent color images. Krawtchouk moments (KrMs) represent one type of discrete moments. QKrMs use traditional Krawtchouk moments of each color channel to describe color images. This new set of moments is defined by using orthogonal polynomials called the Krawtchouk polynomials. The stability against the translation, rotation, and scaling transformations for QKrMs is discussed. The performance of the proposed QKrMs is evaluated against other discrete quaternion moments for image reconstruction capability, toughness against various types of noise, invariance to similarity transformations, color face image recognition, and CPU elapsed times.

We first demonstrate that, if the contributions of higher-order mean flow are ignored, the parabolized stability equations (Bertolotti et al. 1992) and the ‘full’ non-parallel equation of Govindarajan & Narasimha (1995, hereafter GN95) are both equivalent to order R−1 in the local Reynolds number R to Gaster's (1974) equation for the stability of spatially developing boundary layers. It is therefore of some concern that a detailed comparison between Gaster (1974) and GN95 reveals a small difference in the computed amplitude ratios. Although this difference is not significant in practical terms in Blasius flow, it is traced here to the approximation, in Gaster's method, of neglecting the change in eigenfunction shape due to flow non-parallelism. This approximation is not justified in the critical and the wall layers, where the neglected term is respectively O(R−2/3) and O(R−1) compared to the largest term. The excellent agreement of GN95 with exact numerical simulations, on the other hand, suggests that the effect of change in eigenfunction is accurately taken into account in that paper.

ABSTRACT The long-term evolution of hydrogen-dominated atmospheres of sub-Neptune-like planets is mostly controlled to by two factors: a slow dissipation of the gravitational energy acquired at the formation (known as thermal evolution) and atmospheric mass-loss. Here, we use mesa to self-consistently couple the thermal evolution model of lower atmospheres with a realistic hydrodynamical atmospheric evaporation prescription. To outline the main features of such coupling, we simulate planets with a range of core masses (5–20 M⊕) and initial atmospheric mass fractions (0.5–30 per cent), orbiting a solar-like star at 0.1 au. In addition to our computed evolutionary tracks, we also study the stability of planetary atmospheres, showing that the atmospheres of light planets can be completely removed within 1 Gyr and that compact atmospheres have a better survival rate. From a detailed comparison between our results and the output of the previous-generation models, we show that coupling between thermal evolution and atmospheric evaporation considerably affects the thermal state of atmospheres for low-mass planets and, consequently, changes the relationship between atmospheric mass fraction and planetary parameters. We, therefore, conclude that self-consistent consideration of the thermal evolution and atmospheric evaporation is of crucial importance for evolutionary modelling and a better characterization of planetary atmospheres. From our simulations, we derive an analytical expression between planetary radius and atmospheric mass fraction at different ages. In particular, we find that, for a given observed planetary radius, the predicted atmospheric mass fraction changes as age0.11.
