چکیده

A large body of human image processing techniques use skin detection as a first primitive for subsequent feature extraction. Well established methods of colour modelling, such as histograms and Gaussian mixture models have enabled the construction of suitably accurate skin detectors. However such techniques are not ideal for use in adaptive real time environments. We describe methods of skin detection using a Self-Organising Map or SOM, and show performance comparable (94% accuracy on facial images) to conventional techniques. We also introduce the AXEON Learning Processor as the basis for a hardware skin detector, and outline the potential benefits of using this system in a demanding environment, such as filtering Internet traffic, to which conventional techniques are not best suited.

Real-Time intrusion detection alert correlation and attack scenario extraction based on the prerequisite consequence approach

Alert correlation systems attempt to discover the relations among alerts produced by one or more intrusion detection systems to determine the attack scenarios and their main motivations. In this paper a new IDS alert correlation method is proposed that can be used to detect attack scenarios in real-time. The proposed method is based on a causal approach due to the strength of causal methods in ...

Neural Network Performance Analysis for Real Time Hand Gesture Tracking Based on Hu Moment and Hybrid Features

This paper presents a comparison study between the multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks with supervised learning and back propagation algorithm to track hand gestures. Both networks have two output classes which are hand and face. Skin is detected by a regional based algorithm in the image, and then networks are applied on video sequences frame by frame in...
