A Frequency-based Approach for Features Fusion in Fingerprint and Iris Multimodal Biometric Identification Systems

2010

The basic aim of a biometric identification system is to discriminate automatically between subjects in a reliable and dependable way, according to a specific-target application. Multimodal biometric identification systems aim to fuse two or more physical or behavioral traits to provide optimal False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR), thus improving system accuracy and dependability. In this paper, an innovative multimodal biometric identification system based on iris and fingerprint traits is proposed. The paper is a state-of-the-art advancement of multibiometrics, offering an innovative perspective on features fusion. In greater detail, a frequency-based approach result…

Simulation and anticipation as tools for coordinating with the future

2013

A key goal in designing an artificial intelligence capable of performing complex tasks is a mechanism that allows it to efficiently choose appropriate and relevant actions in a variety of situations and contexts. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the case of building a general intelligence, where the contextual choice and application of actions must be done in the presence of large numbers of alternatives, both subtly and obviously distinct from each other. We present a framework for action selection based on the concurrent activity of multiple forward and inverse models. A key characteristic of the proposed system is the use of simulation to choose an action: the system continuously sim…

A Multimodal Technique for an Embedded Fingerprint Recognizer in Mobile Payment Systems

2009

The development and the diffusion of distributed systems, directly connected to recent communication technologies, move people towards the era of mobile and ubiquitous systems. Distributed systems make merchant-customer relationships closer and more flexible, using reliable e-commerce technologies. These systems and environments need many distributed access points, for the creation and management of secure identities and for the secure recognition of users. Traditionally, these access points can be made possible by a software system with a main central server. This work proposes the study and implementation of a multimodal technique, based on biometric information, for identity management a…

Multimodal virtual navigation of a cultural heritage site: The medieval ceiling of Steri in Palermo

2009

The advance of information technology has enabled in recent years new fruition scenarios for cultural heritage sites. Multidisciplinary approaches integrate survey techniques with multimodal interfaces to allow enhanced fruition for larger group of users. In this paper we propose a multimodal interface to a virtual representation of a medieval ceiling, built in the XIV century, which covers the “Sala Magna” of Steri, the historical headquarters of the University of Palermo, in Italy. This research deals with the definition of a process for the integration of surveying techniques, modelling processes and communication technologies for the documentation of such artifacts. This is a two-stage …

Fuzzy techniques for access and data management in home automation environments

2012

Home Automation Environments are characterized by the integration of electronic devices as well as by the performance of communication and control systems. Environment infrastructure has to meet several requirements including Quality of Service (QoS), safety, security, and energy saving. However, Home Automation deals with complex environments, so that advanced data management systems are required to meet the above constraints. Fuzzy Logic based techniques can be successful used to improve system performance management. This work proposes and describes the use and application of fuzzy rules on a two-tiered architecture integrating a biometric authentication module and communication real-tim…

Sindacato di legittimità costituzionale e legalità penale: il delicato equilibrio tra ruolo della Corte Costituzionale e discrezionalità del legislat…

2022

The paper intends to focus on the issue of the relationship between the judgment of constitutional legitimacy and the legislator's discretionary power in criminal matters. The Constitutional Court, especially in recent years, has carried out an overall rewriting of criminal law, through rulings that have affected some of the most significant institutions, introducing a substitute regulation for that deliberated by the legislator. To achieve this result, in the name of safeguarding fundamental rights, the Constitutional Court devised new techniques of adjudication, forcing patterns that had already been established in its jurisprudence or proposing new ways of adjudication in incidental proc…

Indagini multidisciplinari e ricostruzione virtuale: il caso di studio del Teatro Nord di Hierapolis di Frigia (Turchia)

2018

The contribution concerns the multidisciplinary research conducted on the North Theatre of Hierapolis in Phrygia (south-western Turkey), built in the 2nd cent. AD and collapsed because of an earthquake in the third quarter of the 4th cent. AD. A systematic analysis and topographical survey of the remains of the Theatre were performed, and plan of the building was integrated into the digital archaeological map of the city. These data were combined with those from the geological study of the site (characterized by landslides) and from the geophysical prospecting (magnetometry and GPR) carried out in the area of the scaena and in the space between the Theatre and the North Agora. The integrati…

I tamburi a cornice in Sicilia

2015

Le prime attestazioni della presenza del tamburo a cornice in Sicilia risalgono al V secolo a.C. Lo strumento è poi documentato fino ai giorni nostri attraverso raffigu¬razioni, documenti d’archivio, resoconti di viaggiatori stranieri, testi di interesse folklorico e, piuttosto ampiamente, dalla ricerca etnomusicologica moderna, per mezzo di audio-registrazioni e videofilmati. Morfologia, tecniche esecutive, repertori, decorazioni, contesto d’uso dei tamburelli in Sicilia si inscrivono nel più ampio quadro dell’area italiana (centro-meridionale) e mediterranea, ma con alcune specificità, soprattutto nelle tecniche esecutive. Queste, sebbene affini a quelle impiegate in altre regioni italian…

Settore L-ART/08 - EtnomusicologiaFirst evidences of frame drums in Sicily trace back to the V century b.C. Tambourines have been recorded until today by paintings archive documentation observations provided by foreign travellers folkloric literature and quite widely by modern ethnomusicology through audio and video recordings collected on the field. Morphology performance techniques repertoires decorations and social use of tambourines in Sicily refer to the wider context of Italian (central-southern part) and Mediteranean area but with some peculiarities chiefly referring to performance skills. Though similar to the techniques practised in other Italian regions in Sicily we can observe a typical style that can be connected with a common historical background with the Arabic-Islamic world.

Anecdote-Spin-Instructional-Design

2015

Instructional Design is a wonderful tool in the hands of any Instructor, be a class teacher or a lecturer, or a professor. Having an Instructional design and knowing how to use it will make one an effective instructor (Bandura 1997). The design could be in the form of a method or a paradigm, or any cognitive frame work (Elliot and McGregor 2001; Cury et al., 2006). Each design could have its own logic, for example Clarke, Ayres, and Sweller (2005) used spreadsheet application as instructional design to teach students mathematical concepts and procedures (Ambrose et al., 2010). Here we propose a design namely Anecdote-Spin-Instructional-Design. People of every age, be it young or old or midd…
