A kernelized sparsity-based approach for best spectral bands selection for face recognition
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)We study face recognition in unconstrained illumination conditions. A twofold contribution is proposed: First, the robustness of four state-of-the-art algorithms, namely Multi-block Local Binary Pattern (MBLBP), Histogram ... -
A sparsity-aware approach for NBI estimation and mitigation in large cognitive radio networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)Underlay cognitive networks should follow strict interference thresholds to operate in parallel with primary networks. This constraint limits their transmission power and eventually the coverage area. Therefore, in this ... -
Achieving energy efficiency in data centers with a performance-guaranteed power aware routing
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)Nowadays, data centers are designed to offer the highest performance in case of high traffic load and peak utilisation of the network. However, in a realistic data center environment, the peak capacity of the network is ... -
Approximation of Pore Space with Ellipsoids: A Comparison of a Geometrical Method with a Statistical one
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)We work with tomographic images of pore space in soil. The images have large dimensions and so in order to speed-up biological simulations (as drainage or diffusion process in soil), we want to describe the pore space with ... -
Cloud-based mobile system for biometrics authentication
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)This paper introduces a new framework to perform handwritten password authentication as an Internet service based on the cloud computing technology. Using the proposed cloud-based authentication platform, we would be able ... -
Cloud-Ready Biometric System for Mobile Security Access
( Springer , 2012 , Conference Paper)In this contribution, we introduce an application that allows a mobile phone to be used as a biometric-capture device for secure access to the cloud. In this application, the biometric capture and recognition are performed ... -
Digitization and preservation of cultural heritage: The CEPROQHA approach
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)The humanity has always learned from the previous experiences for many reasons. The national heritage proves to be a great way to discover a nation's history. As a result, these priceless cultural items have a special ... -

These devices are used to achieve the highest performance in case of ... -
Intention recognition in manufacturing applications
( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)In this article, we present a novel approach to intention recognition, based on the recognition and representation of state information in a cooperative human-robot environment. States are represented by a combination of ... -
Leveraging known data for missing label prediction in cultural heritage context
( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)Cultural heritage represents a reliable medium for history and knowledge transfer. Cultural heritage assets are often exhibited in museums and heritage sites all over the world. However, many assets are poorly labeled, ... -
Modeling Performance Measurement of Mobile Manipulators
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)Mobile manipulators are being marketed around the world as single manufacturer systems (i.e., robot arm and vehicle manufactured by the same organization) and as independent robot arms, from a different manufacturer and ... -
Optimization on ports activation towards energy efficient data center networks
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Conference Paper)Nowadays, Internet of thing including network support (i.e. checking social media, sending emails, video conferencing) requires smart and efficient data centers to support these services. Hence, data centers become more ... -
PTNet: An efficient and green data center network
