Human Identity Verification based on Heart Sounds: Recent Advances and Future Directions

Identity verification is an increasingly important process in our daily lives, and biometric recognition is a natural solution to the authentication problem. One of the most important research directions in the field of biometrics is the characterization of novel biometric traits that can be used in conjunction with other traits, to limit their shortcomings or to enhance their performance. The aim of this work is to introduce the reader to the usage of heart sounds for biometric recognition, describing the strengths and the weaknesses of this novel trait and analyzing in detail the methods developed so far by different research groups and their performance.

A Multiple-Choice Test Recognition System based on the Gamera Framework

This article describes JECT-OMR, a system that analyzes digital images representing scans of multiple-choice tests compiled by students. The system performs a structural analysis of the document in order to get the chosen answer for each question, and it also contains a bar-code decoder, used for the identification of additional information encoded in the document. JECT-OMR was implemented using the Python programming language, and leverages the power of the Gamera framework in order to accomplish its task. The system exhibits an accuracy of over 99% in the recognition of marked and non-marked squares representing answers, thus making it suitable for real world applications
