An Automated Video-Based System For Iris Recognition

Author(s)
Yooyoung Lee, P. Jonathon Phillips, Ross J. Micheals
We have successfully implemented a Video-based Automated System for Iris Recognition (VASIR), evaluating its successful performance on the MBGC dataset. The

Hyperspectral Image Compressive Projection Algorithm

Author(s)
Joseph P. Rice, Jorge E. Neira, David W. Allen
We describe a compressive projection algorithm and quantitatively assess its performance when used with a Hyperspectral Image Projector (HIP). The HIP is being

A complete fiber-based polarization encoding quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on the BB84 protocol has been developed at National Institute of

Characterization of a Metafilm/Metasurface

Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Edward E. Kuester
A metafilm (also referred to as a metasurface) is the surface equivalent of a metamaterial. More precisely, a metafilm is a surface distribution of suitably

Intensity dynamics in a waveguide array laser

Author(s)
Mingming M. Feng, Steven T. Cundiff, Kevin L. Silverman, Richard Mirin, Matt Williams, J. Nathan N. Kutz
We report the intensity dynamics of a five-emitter laser array subject to a linearly decreasing injection current. The array produces oscillatory power output

The TRECVid 2008 BBC Rushes Summarization Evaluation

Author(s)
Paul D. Over, Alan Smeaton, George M. Awad
This paper describes an evaluation of automatic video summarization systems run on rushes from several BBC dramatic series. It was carried out under the

Absolute Ranging Using Frequency Combs

Author(s)
William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury
We present a technique for measuring absolute range that uses two mismatched frequency combs to measure distance over 1.5 m range with 10 nm level statistical
