Distance Between Distributions With Special Topologies of Cost Matrices 1-25
Sung-Hyuk Cha
Comparing two distributions plays important role in many problems. The traditional minimum cost flow problem has been utilized as a distance measure between two distributions (transportation problem) such as the earth mover’ distance (EMD).

Biometric Authentication and Identification Using Keystroke Dynamics: A Survey 116-139
Salil Partha Banerjee, Damon Woodard
Dependence on computers to store and process sensitive information has made it necessary to secure them from intruders. A behavioral biometric such as keystroke dynamics which makes use of the typing cadence of an individual can be used to strengthen existing security techniques effectively and cheaply.

Image Registration Using Log Polar Transform and Phase Correlation to Recover Higher Scale 90-105
JIGNESH NATVARLAL SARVAIYA, Dr. Suprava Patnaik, Kajal Kothari
Image registration is an important and fundamental task in image processing used to match two different images. Given two or more different images to be registered, image registration estimates the parameters of the geometrical transformation model that maps the sensed images back to its reference image.
