Key factors in the public acceptance of biometric systems are non-intrusiveness, ease of use, and trust. In this paper we propose a biometric identity verification system consisting of a non-intrusive virtual mirror interface, and a face verifier using fractal coding to store the biometric template on …

De Digitale Universiteit (DU) performed a quickscan to determine the usability of the IMS Question and TestInteroperability (QTI) specification as a format to store questions and tests developed for and by the consortium.

The CANDECOMP algorithm for the PARAFAC analysis of n × m × p three-way arrays is adapted to handle arrays in which n > rnp more efficiently. For such arrays, the adapted algorithm needs less memory space to store the data during the iterations, and uses less com- putation time than the original CANDECOMP …
