Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous growth of massive imaging data warehouses in various fields including geophysical research, NDT, medical diagnostics, and homeland security has led to the development of various techniques for content-based image retrieval; this has also been an active research field in the last twenty years. However, image retrieval under conditions of rapid accumulation of gigabytes of imaging data remains one of the main challenges in computer science. The analysis and retrieval of such massive imaging data warehouses has paved the way for various novel mathematical model developments, with applications ranging from radiology to UAV navigation. To this end, a variety of technological and mathematical questions need to be addressed, from data preprocessing, restoration, and multi-physics image sensing to features engineering and classification. 

The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together applied mathematicians, software engineers, and experts from industry to meet and share their experiences in order to build future robust content-based image retrieval systems.

The system that automatically identifies the anthropometric fingerprint is one of the systems that interact directly with the user, which every day will be provided with a diverse database. This requires the system to be optimized to handle the process to meet the needs of users such as fast processing time, almost absolute accuracy, no errors in the real process. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the application of machine learning methods to develop fingerprint classification algorithms based on the singularity feature. The goal of the paper is to reduce the number of comparisons in automatic fingerprint recognition systems with large databases. The combination of using computer vision algorithms in the image pre-processing stage increases the calculation time, improves the quality of the input images, making the process of feature extraction highly effective and the classification process fast and accurate. The classification results on 3 datasets with the criteria for Precision, Recall, Accuracy evaluation and ROC analysis of algorithms show that the Random Forest (RF) algorithm has the best accuracy (≥96.75%) on all 3 databases, Support Vector Machine (SVM) has the best results (≥95.5%) 2 / 3 databases.
