Though popularly used for safe web browsing, blacklist-based filters have fundamental limitation in the “window of vulnerability”, the time between malicious website launch and blacklist update. An effective way of seamless protection is to use an add-on filter based on heuristics, but most of prior heuristics have offered the limited scope of protection against new attacks. Moreover, they have...

We present a novel combined post-filtering (CPF) method to improve the accuracy of optical flow estimation. Its attractive advantages are that outliers reduction is attained while discontinuities are well preserved, and occlusions are partially handled. Major contributions are the following: First, the structure tensor (ST) based edge detection is introduced to extract flow edges. Moreover, we ...

In this contribution, problems related to the integrated design of observer-based robust H∞ controller and robust fault detection (RFD) system is studied for uncertain LTI systems with both modelling errors and unknown input. We first propose to use an ideal solution, which is in fact an optimization solution of fault detection filter achieved on the assumption of the system model is perfectly ...

A new switching median filter is proposed for denoising of gray-scale images, extremely corrupted by salt-and-pepper noise. The proposed model for noise removal is a multiscale detection based adaptive median filter. This method consists of mainly two parts, namely, the thresholding based multiscale noise detection and the filtering. The detection of impulse noise is carried out in two stages. ...

Aging as a natural phenomenon affects different parts of the human body under the influence of various biological and environmental factors. The most pronounced changes that occur on the face is the appearance of wrinkles, which are the focus of this research. Accurate wrinkle detection is an important task in face analysis. Some have been proposed in the literature, but the poor localization l...

Sulphate aerosol injection has been widely discussed as a possible way to engineer future climate. Monitoring it would require detecting its effects amidst internal variability and in the presence of other external forcings. We investigate how the use of different detection methods and filtering techniques affects the detectability of sulphate aerosol geoengineering in annual-mean global-mean n...

This note presents a fuzzy optimization of Gabor filter-based object and text detection. The derivation 2D filter the guidelines for fuzzification parameters are described. proved to be robust an detection method in low-quality input images as extensively evaluated problem license plate localization. extended set examples confirmed that optimized with adequately fuzzified detected desired textu...

computer-aided diagnosis (cad) systems can assist radiologists in several diagnostic tasks.  lung segmentation is one of the mandatory steps for initial detection of lung cancer in posterior-anterior chest radiographs. on the other hand, many cad schemes in projection chest radiography may benefit from the suppression of the bony structures that overlay the lung fields, e.g. ribs. the original ...

Long-range ground targets are difficult to detect in a noisy cluttered environment using either synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images or infrared (IR) images. SAR-based detectors can provide a high detection rate with a high false alarm rate to background scatter noise. IR-based approaches can detect hot targets but are affected strongly by the weather conditions. This paper proposes a novel ta...

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has been an active area of study in medical image analysis. A filter for the enhancement of lesions plays an important role for improving the sensitivity and specificity in CAD schemes. The filter enhances objects similar to a model employed in the filter; e.g. a blob-enhancement filter based on the Hessian matrix enhances sphere-like objects. Actual lesions, howe...
