The fast evolution of technology allowed our society to search for ways to increase efficiency and productivity. In some domains this increase in efficiency also lead to less waste, which in turn may lead to better environment protection. Such a domain is that of population records. One way to properly identify an individual is to keep a record of his biometric data. Unfortunately this method of identification is raising a lot of concerns regarding privacy and the protection of private data. This paper proposes a method of protecting biometric data by securing it with anonymous signatures. This will allow the use of that biometric data for identification purposes only and will not link it to individuals without their personal identification card (e.g. passport, ID card, etc.). It is the authors’ belief that this method will increase the number of people to opt for biometric documents which will reduce bureaucracy and implicitly reduce the use of consumable materials thus better protecting the environment.

Abstract Skateboards have been used as a means of transportation and extreme sport participation for decades. However, the prevalence of skateboards as a source of transportation is increasing. The laws that permit skateboard users to travel in roadways and in pedestrian walkways can vary by state, city, or county, allowing for a large variance in travel speed and user behavior. The amount of data available for the average speed of skateboard users during travel and trick initiation is limited. This study will preliminarily describe the natural travel and trick initiation speeds of skateboard users. The data that is presented in this study is beneficial to a vast audience including, but not limited to: traffic safety, road and intersection design, accident reconstruction, skateboard design, bearing design and useful life, and wheel design and useful life. This is an observational study of users on public spaces; no personal identification or biometric data was collected.

The fast evolution of technology has led to a growing demand for video data, increasing the amount of research into efficient systems to manage those materials. Making efficient use of video information requires that data be accessed in a user-friendly way. Ideally, one would like to perform video search using an intuitive tool. Most of existing browsers for the interactive search of video sequences, however, have employed a too rigid layout to arrange the results, restricting users to explore the results using list- or grid-based layouts. This paper presents a novel approach for the interactive search that displays the result set in a flexible manner. The proposed method is based on a simple and fast algorithm to build video stories and on an effective visual structure to arrange the storyboards, called Clustering Set. It is able to group together videos with similar content and to organize the result set in a well-defined tree. Results from a rigorous empirical comparison with a subjective evaluation show that such a strategy makes the navigation more coherent and engaging to users.

Rich Diversity

To circumvent problems associated with dependence on traditional security systems on passwords, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) and tokens, modern security systems adopt biometric traits that are inimitable to each individual for identification and verification. This study presents two different frameworks for secure person identification using cancellable face recognition (CFR) schemes. Exploiting its ability to guarantee irrevocability and rich diversity, both frameworks utilise Random Projection (RP) to encrypt the biometric traits. In the first framework, a hybrid structure combining Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic (IFL) with RP is used to accomplish full distortion and encryption of the original biometric traits to be saved in the database, which helps to prevent unauthorised access of the biometric data. The framework involves transformation of spatial-domain greyscale pixel information to a fuzzy domain where the original biometric images are disfigured and further distorted via random projections that generate the final cancellable traits. In the second framework, cancellable biometric traits are similarly generated via homomorphic transforms that use random projections to encrypt the reflectance components of the biometric traits. Here, the use of reflectance properties is motivated by its ability to retain most image details, while the guarantee of the non-invertibility of the cancellable biometric traits supports the rationale behind our utilisation of another RP stage in both frameworks, since independent outcomes of both the IFL stage and the reflectance component of the homomorphic transform are not enough to recover the original biometric trait. Our CFR schemes are validated on different datasets that exhibit properties expected in actual application settings such as varying backgrounds, lightings, and motion. Outcomes in terms standard metrics, including structural similarity index metric (SSIM) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC), suggest the efficacy of our proposed schemes across many applications that require person identification and verification.

Environment-friendly wild jujube takes core machine is proposed in the current serious water pollution situation. At the time of take jujube core, the jujube core and jujube meat is difficult to separate. So, it needs to use a lot of water to flush the jujube meat. The wastewater, which contains jujube meat, brings great pollution to the environment. To solve this problem, the existing jujube core extraction technology is analyses firstly. Then a new project of jujube take core machine is proposed in this paper. This new project can separate the jujube core and the jujube meat in the same machine. The detailed structure calculation and kinematics analysis of the new machine key components, such as the broken device and the separate device, were done on the computer. Finally, according to the design result, using the software Pro/ENGINEER, the prototype machine was designed and manufactured, then test lots of times. The experiment proved that the machine can effectively reduce water consumption and the volume of sewage to achieve the purpose of environment protection.

Nowadays there is a high demand for biometric authentication. These systems possess a high level of protection, as they evaluate not only the physical parameters, but also personality characteristics. The paper analyzes a biometric scheme based on the electrical activity of the human heart in the form of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The study was performed using standard laboratory measurements KL-720 has all age groups. As a result, an electrical activity signal was obtained. The aim of this work was to filter the captured signal for further use with biometric data.
