Image Registration Using Log Polar Transform and Phase Correlation to Recover Higher Scale 90-105
JIGNESH NATVARLAL SARVAIYA, Dr. Suprava Patnaik, Kajal Kothari
Image registration is an important and fundamental task in image processing used to match two different images. Given two or more different images to be registered, image registration estimates the parameters of the geometrical transformation model that maps the sensed images back to its reference image.
Clustering Financial Time Series via Information-Theory Analysis and Rank Statistics 106-115
David Blokh
A method of clustering of a time series set is described. Each cluster includes time series containing the same amounts of information about other time series.
Robust Facial Feature Extraction and Matching 140-154
Clinton Fookes
Automated feature extraction and correspondence determination is an extremely important problem in the face recognition community as it often forms the foundation of the normalisation and database construction phases of many recognition and verification systems.

Interactive Fuzzy Model Based Recognition of Handwritten Numerals 154-165
Ramana Murthy, M Hanmandlu
In this fuzzy model based character recognition, the features extracted from a character are used to form the fuzzy sets. Assuming these fuzzy sets have the overlapping/interactive information, this paper develops an Interactive Fuzzy Model by devising new fuzzy rules for linking them.
Perceptual Color Representation of the Face: Extracting the Color of Skin, Hair and Eyes 166-174
Levente Sajo, Kornel Bertok, Attila Fazekas
A color representation of the face is presented to detect the color of the skin, eyes and hair in high resolution color images.
Bandwidth Selection for Mean-Shift Based Unsupervised Learning Techniques: A Unified Approach via Self-Coverage 175-192
