Biometrics ( MATLAB )

I NTRODUCTION

BIOMETRICS; are automated methods of recognizing anindividual based on their physiological (e.g., fingerprints,face, retina, iris) or behavioral characteristics (e.g., gait,signature). Each biometric has its strengths and weaknessesand the choice typically depends on the application. No singlebiometric is expected to effectively meet the requirements of all the applications. Fingerprint recognition has a very goodbalance of all the properties. A number of biometriccharacteristics are being used in various applications asUniversality, Uniqueness, Permanence, Measurability,Performance, Acceptability, and Circumvention [1]



.What is a Fingerprint?

A fingerprint is the feature pattern of one finger [10]. Eachperson has his own fingerprints with the permanentuniqueness. However, shown by intensive research on fingerprint recognition, fingerprints are not distinguished bytheir ridges and furrows, but by Minutia, which are someabnormal points on the ridges as shown in Fig. 1. Among thevariety of minutia types reported in literature, two are mostlysignificant and in heavy usage: one is called termination,which is the immediate ending of a ridge; the other is called



What is Fingerprint Recognition?

The fingerprint recognition problem can be grouped intothree sub-domains: fingerprint enrollment, verification andfingerprint identification. In addition, different from themanual approach for fingerprint recognition by experts, thefingerprint recognition here is referred as AFRS (AutomaticFingerprint Recognition System), which is program-based.Verification is typically used for positive recognition, where theaim is to prevent multiple people from using the same identity.Fingerprint verification is to verify the authenticity of oneperson by his fingerprint. There is one-to-one comparison inthis case. In the identification mode, the system recognizes anindividual by searching the templates of all the users in thedatabase for a match. Therefore, the system conducts a one-to-many comparison to establish an individual’s identity

Firefox hack for super speed browsing!

There are many people out there complaining about the Firefox RAM Memory Bug. Lets get it straight. It’s not a bug. It’s part of the cache feature. This ‘feature’ is howthe pages are cached in a tabbed environment.

To improve performance when navigating (studies show that 39% of all page navigations are renavigations to pages visited less than 10 pages ago, usually using the back button), Firefox implements a Back-Forward cache that retains the rendered document for the last five session history entries for each tab.

This is a lot of data. If you have a lot of tabs, Firefox’s RAM memory usage can climb dramatically. It’s a trade-off. What you get out of it is faster performance as you navigate the web.

Now a lot of us have found the ’secrets’ on how to manipulate settings in “about:config” to drop the memory usage as long as possible and to increase the speed at which Firefox loads sites. Read on to find out how to do this.

Remember: Firefox (download it here) is the best internet browser available (in my opinion), and these tweaks below will make it even greater and faster. So enjoy!

Reduce the amount of RAM Firefox uses for it’s cache feature

Here’s how to do it:
1. Type “about:config” (no quotes) in the adress bar in the browser.
2. Find “browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer”
3. Set it’s value to “0“;(Zero)

Increase the Speed in Which Firefox loads pages

1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit Enter.
(Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipeliningit will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)

2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 10.

This means it will make 10 requests at once.

3. Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0“;.(Zero)

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages faster now.
Optionally (for even faster web browsing) here are some more options for your about:config (you might have to create some of these entries by Right Click –> New– > Interger or String

network.dns.disableIPv6: set “false” 
“content.notify.backoffcount”: set “5“; (Five)
“plugin.expose_full_path”: set “true”.
“ui.submenuDelay”: set “0; (zero)

Reduce RAM usage to 10mb when Firefox is minimized:

This little hack will drop Firefox’s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:

1. Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
2. Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
3. In the box that pops up enter “config.trim_on_minimize”. Press Enter.
4. Now select True and then press Enter.
5. Restart Firefox.

These simple tweaks will make your web browsing with Mozilla Firefox 2-3 times faster and easier. And I think they are fairly easy to apply. Enjoy!

10 Productive Ways to use YouTube beyond the regular stuff !

We watch YouTube almost every day. I mean, even if we didn’t want to there’d be some instances where we need to log in. I’m a bit apprehensive about using YouTube especially at work because most of the times, the things that pop up are NSFW. However, I’m a big fan of YouTube and these tools make sure that we don’t end up in the YouTube loop, but make things a little more useful, effective and fun for all of us.

1. Download Audio from any YouTube videos the easy way

So you like that new Lady Gaga song and the video is out on YouTube, but you want it as a ringtone for your mobile, and you don’t want to go through the messy process of using a video editing program to rip off the music. What do you do ? Use this website, copy paste the URL of the video and let it rip off the music in mp3 format for you. Download it to your cellphone and you’re done. Easy as that.

2. Share particular parts of any YouTube video

Sometimes, we’re just interested only in a certain part of a video. Like 12-26th second of a 5 minute vide and while sharing the whole video is what most of us do, the person you’re sharing with might not watch the entire video or he might miss the part you want him to see. So what do you do ? Use Tubechop to select the particular time in the video, slice it up and share the URL is gives with your friends. When your friend clicks on the URL, they see only the selected part in that YouTube video.

3.  Add extra controls to YouTube videos other than the default buttons

If you’re a power YouTube user, you always wanted those extra controls like beyond the play and pause button. This Greasemonkey script will grant your wish. Its got a series of additional buttons for that seamless power user experience.

4. Get sing-along lyrics on any YouTube music video

This is a nifty utility for singers and music enthusiasts. What it does is, while your favourite music videos are being played on YouTube, it displays a small window next to it, that will search a database of lyrics and popup the right lyrics for that particular song, so you can sing along. Cool huh ? Download

5. Bookmark, Organize and Save YouTube Videos for later viewing

This is a standalone program for you to save, bookmark and share YouTube videos, much like a personal collection. You can search for videos, save them, bookmark them all from the application and open up for later viewing.

6. How not to show the “Related Videos” pane while watching a video

Many of us would’ve encountered the bad experience of other inappropriate videos popping up in the related videos section while watching an interesting video with our friends on YouTube. There is a simple trick that will keep the related videos from popping up.
In the URL of the original video, just add ‘&rel=0? to the end part and you’re done. Or if the parameter is at ‘&rel=1?, change it to ‘&rel=0?.

7. Play YouTube videos inside the browser, without clutter and in a playlist

Some people like to use YouTube like winamp sometimes, like while at work listening to a list of songs, side by side. And having your YouTube site open can be a bit annoying, especially when your boss is looking over your shoulders. But there is a solution. Grab this Firefox extension and it lets you add a little sidebar to the browser, where you can queue up an entire list of YouTube videos that will keep playing within the sidebar. Nice !

8. Watch YouTube videos on a slower Internet connection, without breaks

If you’re on a slower internet connection, then watching YouTube videos can be a pain. Frustration and more frustration. In fact, YouTube realizes that this could be a problem, and have alternate methods for you. YouTube has a Feather tool that lets you watch YouTube videos on slower connections. It doesn’t include those items that eat up bandwidth and make YouTube videos slower.

9. Upload more than one video in bulk to YouTube

So if you’re the type who have a lot of uploading to do on YouTube, things can get a bit out of hand. There is a lot of waiting to do for one video before you can do the next upload. So batch uploading is the only way out. And is there a tool that lets you do it ? Yes of course – YouTube Universal Uploader.

10.  Create ringtones from YouTube videos in one easy steps

Creating ringtones from YouTube videos never was so easy. All you got to do is copy paste the YouTube video URL, mark the portion where the song appears (or the whole video) and click create. The ringtone can be downloaded in various mobile audio formats. Check it out

A letter from Hell

To hell with the devil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KubgMDSMXfI

WHEN GOD IS RAN

Verse 1:


Almighty God, The Great I Am,

Immovable Rock, Omnipotent, Powerful,

Awesome Lord.

Victorious Warrior, Commanding King of Kings,

Mighty Conqueror and the only time,

The only time I ever saw him run,

Was when...



Chorus:

He ran to me,

He took me in His arms,

Held my head to His chest,

Said "My son's come home again!"

Lifted my face,

Wiped the tears from my eyes,

With forgiveness in His voice He said

"Son, do you know I still love You?"

(End Chorus)



He caught me By surprise, When God ran...



Verse 2:

The day I left home,

I knew I'd broken His heart.

And I wondered then, if things could ever be the same.

Then one night,

I remembered His love for me.

And down that dusty road, ahead I could see,

It was the only time,

It was the only time I ever saw Him run.

And then...



Repeat Chorus



He caught me by surprise.

And He brought me to my knees.

When God ran... I saw Him run to me.



Bridge:

I was so ashamed, all alone, and so far away.

But now I know, that He's been waiting for this day...



I saw Him run to me,

He took me in His arms,

Held my head to his chest,

Said "My son's come home again!"

Lifted my face,

Wiped the tears from my eyes,

With forgiveness in His voice

I felt his love for me again.

He ran to me,

He took me in His arms,

Held my head to his chest,

Said "My son's come home again!"

Lifted my face,

Wiped the tears from my eyes,

With forgiveness in His voice

He said "Son"

He called me Son.

He said "Son, do you know I still love You?"

He ran to me (When God Ran)

(I saw Him run to me)

And then I ran to Him

(When God ran)

When God ran

Eagle riders

I feel the spirits breath moving down my neck


Closer than a summers day

You’re a lion on my back

I hear the spirit speak whispering my name

Gentle as a butterfly

In a violent hurricane



I feel the spirits breath free me from the net

Flying from captivity

And the life I called a wreck

I hear the spirit speak a voice behind my eyes

It’s time for a brand new song to sing

Now I’m saying my goodbyes



I’m an eagle rider flying on your wings

And you take me higher to your beauty I will cling

I’m an eagle rider when I fly above the winds

And I’m climbing higher, so much higher than I’ve been



I see the world below spinning in the breeze

The giants seem much smaller here

Now I’m living in my dreams

I love the spirit’s voice it’s teaching me to fly

It’s time for a rediscovery

As I fall into the sky



I’m Going up, not coming down, I’m Going up, not coming down.

Hello, hello, goodbye.
