Teeth Feature Extraction and Matching for Human Identification Using Scale Invariant Feature Transform Algorithm

ABSTRACT Dental biometrics has emerged as vital biometric information of human being due to its stability, invariant nature and uniqueness. Dental radiograph and dental photograph are tools mostly used in biometrics as it provides information about teeth in detail. The proposed system has four main stages as preprocessing, feature extraction, feature matching and finalized recognized […]

Process Model for Performance Modeling and Performance Evaluation of DDS Applications

ABSTRACT In Distributed Database System (DDS), applications require that performance to be determined preferably during the early stages of software development due to the complexity of Distributed system. Performance of DDS applications is determined by considering the different characteristics namely fragmentation, allocation, load sharing, resource allocation, effort estimation, reallocation, etc. Evaluation of the performance at […]

Blind Video Watermarking based on SVD and Multilevel DWT

ABSTRACT Computerized media content security has progressively turned into an imperative issue. Since video watermarking is a major technology used in copyright protection, a key prerequisite for it is the advancement of the imperceptibility and robustness. We propose a hybrid watermarking scheme for digital videos based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and multilevel Discrete Wavelet […]

Properties Affected by Different Shape and Different Weight Percentages Nanoparticles, Embedded in Chitosan Polymer Thin Film

ABSTRACT Chitosan (CS) based thin films fabricated by incorporated with plasticizer (glycerol) at different weight ratios were prepared. This was carried out by employing a solvent-casting method incorporating with Halloysite nanoclay (nanotube) and Silica nanoparticle (spherical) into the films. Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) showed that nanoparticles were dispersed homogeneously throughout the polymer matrix in all […]

Performance of Blended Hybrid Fiber Epoxy/Polyester Composites

ABSTRACT Hybrid fiber are touted with the help of mercerization technique in order to promote the properties of host Sansevieria cylindrica (Sc) and Sisal(Sl) hybrid fibers in the blend composites followed by synthesized and tested.   The developments of high performance composite materials employed from locally available-sources.  The objective of this research was to evaluate the […]

Effect of Nanofillers on Conductivity and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness of High Density Polyethylene and Polypropylene Nanocomposites

ABSTRACT High density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) based nanocomposites were fabricated using a constant 20 wt. % of carbon black (CB) as the base and different wt.% (0.25 to 1) of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). The conductivity and the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) and nano size free volume cavities of conducting HDPE/PP […]
