On Reconnection of Broken Ridges and Binarization for Fingerprint Images
Abstract: With the increase in security threats, use of biometrics for person identification and authentication has been increased. One of the oldest and most widely used forms of biometric is, Fingerprint. Since it is mainly used in forensic science, accuracy in the fingerprint identification is highly important. Most of the fingerprint identification systems are based on minutiae matching and a critical step in correct matching of fingerprint is extracting minutiae reliably …

Attribute based Level Adaptive Thresholding Algorithm for Object Extraction
Abstract: Image processing plays a vital role in the computer vision because most of the scenarios require object extraction and recognition. In order to utilize these images for the procedural analysis of the environmental entities in computational means, it must be a noiseless one. However, the images are affected through noises caused by the various acquisition techniques and hence an effective technique for denoising and segmentation is necessary in Computational Tomography. …

A Novel Approach for Confidence Estimation using Support Vector Machines for More Accurate Value Prediction
Abstract: Data dependencies create hurdles in exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) among instructions. To overcome them, data value predictors are used which guess instructions’ result before it is actually executed. Thus, future instructions which depend on the outcome of that instruction executes sooner. But, since value prediction accuracy is very crucial in determining the amount of parallelism that can be exploited, confidence estimation is used along with it to lessen the value …
