Service-Oriented E-Learning Architecture Using Web Service-Based Intelligent Agents, Nasir Hussain, M. Khalid Khan Aug 2005

Service-Oriented E-Learning Architecture Using Web Service-Based Intelligent Agents, Nasir Hussain, M. Khalid Khan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

There is no doubt that e-learning has found its way in our lives. From the very start to the Ph.D. level one can find e-learning courses every where and all the big names are supporting it. One thing that is needed to be understood is that e-learning is basically the integration of various technologies. Now this technology is maturing and we can find different standards for e-learning .New technologies such as agents and web services are promising better results. In this paper we have proposed an e-learning architecture that is dependent on multi-agent systems and web services. These communication technologies …


Poster Session A: Fingerprint Matching Using Ridge Patterns, Muhammad Umer Munir, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed Aug 2005

Poster Session A: Fingerprint Matching Using Ridge Patterns, Muhammad Umer Munir, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper presents a fingerprint matching scheme that utilizes a ridge patterns to match fingerprint images. The proposed scheme uses a set of 16 Gabor filters where spatial frequencies correspond to the average inter-ridge spacing in fingerprints. It is used to capture the ridge strength at equally spaced orientations. A circular tessellation of filtered image is then used to construct the ridge feature map. This ridge feature map contains both global and local details in a fingerprint as a compact fixed length feature vector. The fingerprint matching is based on the Euclidean distance between two corresponding feature vectors. The genuine …


Poster Session A: Face Recognition Using Sub-Holistic Pca, Muhammad Murtaza Khan, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed, Muhammad Almas Anjum Aug 2005

Poster Session A: Face Recognition Using Sub-Holistic Pca, Muhammad Murtaza Khan, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed, Muhammad Almas Anjum

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper proposes a face recognition scheme that enhances the correct face recognition rate as compared to conventional Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The proposed scheme, Sub-Holistic PCA (SH-PCA), was tested using ORL database and out performed PCA for all test scenarios. SH-PCA requires more computational power and memory as compared to PCA however it yields an improvement of 6% correct recognition on the complete ORL database of 400 images. The correct recognition rate for the complete ORL database is 90% for the SH-PCA technique.
