In iris recognition, feature extraction can be influenced by factors such as illumination and contrast, and thus the features extracted may be unreliable, which can cause a high rate of false results in iris pattern recognition. In order to obtain stable features, an algorithm was proposed in this paper to extract key features of a pattern from multiple images. The proposed algorithm built an iris feature template by extracting key features and performed iris identity enrolment. Simulation results showed that the selected key features have high recognition accuracy on the CASIA Iris Set, where both contrast and illumination variance exist.
Missing data imputation for location-based sensor data has attracted much attention in recent years. The state-of-the-art imputation methods based on graph neural networks have a priori assumption that the spatial correlations between sensor locations are static. However, real-world data sets often exhibit dynamic spatial correlations. This paper proposes a novel approach to capturing the dynamics of spatial correlations between geographical locations as a composition of the constant, long-term trends and periodic patterns. To this end, we design a new method called Dynamic Adjacency Matrix Representation (DAMR) that extracts various dynamic patterns of spatial correlations and represents them as adjacency matrices. The adjacency matrices are then aggregated and fed into a well-designed graph representation learning layer for predicting the missing values. Through extensive experiments on six real-world data sets, we demonstrate that DAMR reduces the MAE by up to 19.4% compared with the state-of-the-art methods for the missing value imputation task
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
