Development of Visualization Tool for an Old Fortran Based Engineering Software Program

(Mr. Nadzari Shaari)

This research is conducted to investigate problems of old engineering FORTRAN based software to suit current need in graphical presentation.

The Development of a New Technique for Automated Fingerprint Enhancement and Restoration

(Professor Dr. Ghazali Sulong)

Fingerprint patterns are rarely perfect. Various types of noise may corrupt them. Therefore, an effective method of enhancing fingerprint images needs to be implemented to facilitate matching and identification. The main goal of this project is to improve the quality of degraded fingerprint images to facilitate matching.

Brain Mapping Using Topological Graphs Obtained by Surface Segmentation

(Associate Professor Daut Daman)

The objectives of this research are to investigate how human brain can be mapped to isosurface, to construct surface segmentation using topological graph, and to develop and test prototype software.
