From global to local: Investigation of necessary engineering skills for KBE transformation in Qatar in the context of global engineering attributes
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
this paper provides the findings of a study on investigating the required contextual engineering skills in Qatar in light of the global engineering skills. A set of 20 attributes were identified in the literature, and ...
Engineering economics: Literature review and recommendations for practitioners
(2013 , Conference Paper)
The paper provides a review of the curriculum and pedagogy of engineering economics course, which is normally taken by engineering students of different disciplines. Literature reviews of studies and courses syllabuses on ...
Enhancing face recognition using Directional Filter Banks
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Face recognition is an increasingly important problem in biometric applications; consequently many recognition algorithms have been proposed during the last three decades. It is accepted that the use of a pre-processing ...
ICDAR 2013 competition on gender prediction from handwriting
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The prediction of gender from handwriting is a very interesting research field. However, no standard benchmark is available for researchers in this field. The aim of this competition is to gather researchers and compare ...
Off-line writer identification using multi-scale local binary patterns and SR-KDA
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Writer identification is becoming an increasingly important research topic especially in forensic and biometric applications. This paper presents a novel method for performing offline write identification by using multi-scale ...
Automatic handedness detection from off-line handwriting
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In forensics, the handedness detection or the classification of writers into left or right-handed helps investigators focusing more on a certain category of suspects. However, only a few studies have been carried out in ...

(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Stroke recovery from offline handwriting is a very interesting research field. However, no standard benchmark is available for researchers in this field. The aim of this competition is to gather researchers and compare ...
An improved palmprint recognition system using iris features
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
This paper presents a bimodal biometric recognition system based on the extracted features of the human palmprint and iris using a new graph-based approach termed Fisher locality preserving projections (FLPP). This new ...
Systolic architecture for hardware implementation of two-dimensional non-separable filter-bank
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present an efficient poly-phase decomposition scheme for implementation of 2-D non-separable filter bank. Poly-phase decomposition scheme offers multiplexing of filter bank computations or/and reduce the ...
