Convolutional Neural Network Approach for Multispectral Facial Presentation Attack Detection in Automated Border Control Systems

Automated border control systems are the first critical infrastructure point when crossing a border country. Crossing border lines for unauthorized passengers is a high security risk to any country. This paper presents a multispectral analysis of presentation attack detection for facial biometrics using the learned features from a convolutional neural network. Three sensors are considered to design and develop a new database that is composed of visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and thermal images. Most studies are based on laboratory or ideal conditions-controlled environments. However, in a real scenario, a subject’s situation is completely modified due to diverse physiological conditions, such as stress, temperature changes, sweating, and increased blood pressure. For this reason, the added value of this study is that this database was acquired in situ. The attacks considered were printed, masked, and displayed images. In addition, five classifiers were used to detect the presentation attack. Note that thermal sensors provide better performance than other solutions. The results present better outputs when all sensors are used together, regardless of whether classifier or feature-level fusion is considered. Finally, classifiers such as KNN or SVM show high performance and low computational level.     

Rapid QM/MM approach for biomolecular systems under periodic boundary conditions: Combination of the density‐functional tight‐binding theory and particle mesh Ewald method

A quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach based on the density‐functional tight‐binding (DFTB) theory is a useful tool for analyzing chemical reaction systems in detail. In this study, an efficient QM/MM method is developed by the combination of the DFTB/MM and particle mesh Ewald (PME) methods. Because the Fock matrix, which is required in the DFTB calculation, is analytically obtained by the PME method, the Coulomb energy is accurately and rapidly computed. For assessing the performance of this method, DFTB/MM calculations and molecular dynamics simulation are conducted for a system consisting of two amyloid‐β(1‐16) peptides and a zinc ion in explicit water under periodic boundary conditions. As compared with that of the conventional Ewald summation method, the computational cost of the Coulomb energy by utilizing the present approach is drastically reduced, i.e., 166.5 times faster. Furthermore, the deviation of the electronic energy is less than . © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structural and electrical changes in NdSrNiO4−δ by substitute nickel with copper

A novel series of the formula NdSrNi_1−xCu_xO_4−δ were synthesized for various values of x ranging from 0 to 1 in 1 atm of O₂ gas flow using conventional solid-state methods and were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements. The compounds have been shown to adopt the K₂NiF₄-type structure. The oxygen stoichiometry of the compounds was determined from thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). An analysis of the micro-structure of the neodymium strontium nickel copper oxide is described. All the samples were semi-conducting from room temperature down to 77 K. The effect of Cu²⁺ incorporation on the structural and electrical properties of NdSrNi_1−xCu_xO_4−δ, 0?x?1, are discussed in terms of Jahn-Teller distortion of the (Ni/Cu)O₆ octahedra and mixed valence character of copper.

Cation disorder and structural studies on Bi4−x Nd x Ti3O12 (0.0≤x≤2.0)

Here we report the results of combined powder X-ray and neutron diffraction studies of Bi_4?x Nd _x Ti₃O₁₂ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.0) compositions. The parent Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ has an orthorhombic lattice (space group: B2cb) with unit cell parameters a = 5.4432(5) Å, b = 5.4099(5) Å and c = 32.821(2) Å, and V = 966.5(1) ų. This orthorhombic lattice is retained in all the studied compositions. The unit cell parameters gradually decrease with Nd³⁺ ion concentration with a discontinuity at x = 0.75. Orthorhombicity of the lattice decreases with increase in Nd³⁺ content in the lattice. The orthorhombic unit cell parameters for a representative Bi₂Nd₂Ti₃O₁₂ composition are: a = 5.3834(9), b = 5.3846(9) and c = 32.784(1) Å. The observed orthorhombic distortion at x = 2.0 is very small and thus the crystal structure apparently has a pseudo-tetragonal lattice. In addition, Nd³⁺ preferentially substitutes in the perovskite slab of the Aurivillius structure. The fraction of Nd³⁺ in the fluorite slab increases with increase in Nd³⁺ contents.
