Evaluating the 1931 CIE color‐matching functions

The use of colorimetry within industry has grown extensively in the last few decades. Central to many of today's instruments is the CIE system, established in 1931. Many have questioned the validity of the assumptions made by Wright¹ and Guild,² some suggesting that the 1931 color‐matching functions are not the best representation of the human visual system's cone responses. A computational analysis was performed using metameric data to evaluate the CIE 1931 color‐matching functions as compared to with other responsivity functions. The underlying assumption was that an optimal set of responsivity functions would yield minimal color‐difference error between pairs of visually matched metamers. The difference of average color differences found in the six chosen sets of responsivity functions was small. The CIE 1931 2° color‐matching functions on average yielded the largest color difference, 4.56 ΔE. The best performance came from the CIE 1964 10° color‐matching functions, which yielded an average color difference of 4.02 ΔE. An optimization was then performed to derive a new set of color‐matching functions that were visually matched using metameric pairs of spectral data. If all pairs were to be optimized to globally minimize the average color difference, it is expected that this would produce an optimal set of responsivity functions. The optimum solution was to use a weighted combination of each set of responsivity functions. The optimized set, called the Shaw and Fairchild responsivity functions, was able to reduce the average color difference to 3.92 ΔE. In the final part of this study a computer‐based simulation of the color differences between the sets of responsivity functions was built. This simulation allowed a user to load a spectral radiance or a spectral reflectance data file and display the tristimulus match predicted by each of the seven sets of responsivity functions. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new approach for inner-knuckle-print recognition

ObjectiveThis paper proposed a new approach for inner-knuckle-print (IKP) recognition. In traditional IKP recognition systems, the region of interest (ROI) is extracted from the image of the whole hand and the directions of the fingers being imaged are not restricted. The result maybe incorrect because that the shape and surface of the fingers may vary greatly. Moreover, if the direction of the finger being imaged is not restricted, there may be severe rotation transform between intra-class IKPs. To overcome these drawbacks, we develop a new data acquisition scheme as well as an efficient personal authentication algorithm.MethodsThe new scheme is designed to capture the image of the inner surface of the middle knuckles of the middle and ring fingers. The fingers being imaged are kept horizontal with two pegs, so that the rotation angle between different images obtained from the same hand can be minimized. The new personal authentication algorithm consists of the next four steps. Firstly, two regions of interest (ROI), each of which contains the inner surface of a knuckle, are cropped from the original image. Secondly, line features are extracted from the ROIs based on the combination of Gabor filtering and derivative line detection method. Then, binary line images are matched by using a cross-correlation-based method. Finally, the input data is classified through score level fusion.ResultsTo evaluate the proposed IKP recognition system, a finger image database which includes 2000 images from 100 volunteers is established. The images are captured on two separate occasions, at an interval of around two months. Most of the volunteers are not familiar with the image acquisition process. The experimental results show that the proposed system achieves high recognition rate and it works in real time. Moreover, the proposed line feature extraction method outperforms traditional Gabor filter based line detection method and derivative line detection method in accuracy.ConclusionThe proposed IKP system is robust and accurate. It may promote the application and popularization of IKP recognition.     

A quantitative feedback solution to the multivariable tracking error problem

This paper introduces a novel solution for the multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) quantitative feedback theory control design problem with tracking error specifications. Looking for a minimum controller overdesign, the technique finds new controller quantitative feedback theory bounds based on necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of suitable associated prefilter matrix elements. It improves previous approaches to the subject and includes (i) the possibility of a free selection of the nominal plant, (ii) a less conservative application of the Schwartz inequality to decisively reduce the potential controller overdesign, (iii) a methodology to design independently the elements of the prefilter matrix, and (iv) a scope of application to both sequential and nonsequential MIMO controller design methods. The benefits of the new control design technique are illustrated by means of two examples. The first one, a standard 2 × 2 MIMO problem, is provided for comparison purposes with previous approaches. The second example, included as a major control challenge, deals with a well‐known demanding distillation column benchmark problem. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
