INTRO:
Nowadays, person identification (recognition) and verification is very important in security and resource access control.
Biometrics is the science of automatic recognition of individual depending on their physiological and behavioral attributes.
For centuries, handwritten signatures have been an integral part of validating business transaction contracts and agreements.
Among the different forms of biometric recognition systems such as
fingerprint, iris, face, voice, palm etc., signature will be most widely used.
SIGNATURE RECOGNITION
Signature Recognition is the procedure of determining to whom a particular signature belongs to.
Depending on acquiring of signature images, there are two types of signature recognition systems:
Online Signature Recognition
Offline Signature Recognition
STEPS
IMAGE ACQUSITION
Collection of signatures from 50 persons on blank paper.
The collected signatures are scanned to get images in JPG format to create database.
PREPROCESSING
Image pre-processing is a technique to enhance raw images received from cameras/sensors placed on satellites, space probes and aircrafts or pictures taken in normal day-to-day life for various applications.
The techniques for preprocessing used are
RGB to Gray Scale Conversion
Binarization
Thinning
Bounding Box
FEATURE EXTRACTION
Features are the characters to be extracted from the processed image.
It has used two feature techniques
Global Features
Grid Features
DWT
After applying DWT to all 9 blocks, each block is divided into horizontal, vertical and diagonal components. From each components two features mainly horizontal and vertical projection positions are extracted. Total 54 (9 x 3 x 2) features are extracted.
Grid features extracted from each block are
Horizontal Projection Position
Vertical Projection Position
Algorithm for Training phase
Description: Retrieval of a signature image from a database
Input: Training sample images.
Output: Construction of Back Propagation Neural Network.
Begin
Read the training samples images
Step1: Pre-processing
Convert the image into gray scale image.
Convert the gray scale image into binary image.
Apply thinning process.
Apply bounding box.
Step 2: Features Extracted.
Step 3: Back propagation neural network training.

Rhode Island innovates: A competitive strategy for the Ocean State
In the fall and winter of 2015–2016, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings worked in association with Battelle Technology Partnership Practice (now TEConomy Partners, LLC) and Monitor Deloitte to advance a new competitive strategy for the state of Rhode Island.
This slideshow summary of the project’s final conclusions finds that Rhode Island possesses unique assets for building an advanced economy that works for all but stands weakened by the decline of its core “advanced industries.” Given that erosion, the slideshow asserts that five advanced industry and two “opportunity industry” growth areas hold out solid potential for growth in the Ocean State and recommends that Rhode Island should embark on a three-part strategy to strengthen its advanced industries and improve its statewide platform for growth.

Data Colonialism and Digital Sustainability: Problems and Solutions to Curren...Matthias Stürmer
The global datasphere is growing from 60 Zettabytes today to 175 Zettabytes in 2025. Much of this data and software is privately controlled by American and Chinese corporations with enormous market power. Only the seven largest big tech companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Alibaba or Tencent already have a market capitalization of over USD 8700 billion, which is almost three times India's GDP. This trend is called data colonialism of the cyber space. What problems arise from this and how can they be solved? The concept of digitale sustainability addresses this challenge by presenting a new pathway towards greater data sovereignty.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
