Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) has been enormously successful. Within little more than a
decade hundreds of papers have reported successful applications of PSO. In fact, there are …

In recent years, along with the extraordinary diffusion of the Internet and a growing need for
personal verification in many daily applications, automatic signature verification is being …

We present a novel method for detecting 3D model instances and estimating their 6D poses
from RGB data in a single shot. To this end, we extend the popular SSD paradigm to cover …

Reliable human authentication schemes are of paramount importance in our highly
networked society. Advances in biometrics help address the myriad of problems associated …

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the theories and techniques of multi-
sensor data fusion. The book has been designed as a text for a one-semester graduate …

The quality of iris images on mobile devices is significantly degraded due to hardware
limitations and less constrained environments. Traditional iris recognition methods cannot …

The growing popularity of wearable devices is leading to new ways to interact with the
environment, with other smart devices, and with other people. Wearables equipped with an …

A swarm is a large number of homogenous, simple agents interacting locally among
themselves, and their environment, with no central control to allow a global interesting …

Vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial
optimization problem that is crucial for transportation and logistics systems. Even though the …
