Service Oriented Computing is a relevant paradigm that allows for building software solutions as it supports the creation of dynamic and agile applications. As a result of these benefits, applications based on the paradigm ...

Fingerprint recognition is arguably the most popular biometric used in authentication of individuals today. One critical step in the process of automatic fingerprint recognition is the segmentation of a digital fingerprint ...

Different studies around the world have shown that the orientation of birds? nests depends on local climate variables such as temperature, wind, and rainfall (e.g. Facemire et al. 1990, Wiebe 2001, Burton 2007, Hartman and ...

The text matter in an image or a video provides more important clue and semantic information of the particular event in the actual situation. Text localization task stands an interesting and challenging research-oriented ...

Abstract. Local variables are fundamental to describe and implement computer algorithms and to specify some of their properties such as correctness, termination and performance. In this paper, we address the run-time ...

Variations in the orientation behavior of Woodpecker nests can be due to environmental factors such as latitude as well as local climate conditions. In this study, the orientations of dot-fronted Woodpecker nesting cavities ...
