It is widely applied in artificial intelligence, video surveillance, identity authentication, human-machine interaction and so on. However, skin color detection has high false positive rate in complex background and AdaBoost algorithm was not satisfactory for detection of multi-pose and multi-face image. So a novel face detection method combined with skin color detection and an improved AdaBoost algorithm is proposed in this paper. First, it applies skin model segmentation and morphological operators to detect skin regions in the image. And according to the geometrical characteristics of the face, it screens the candidate face regions. Then by the improved classifiers in a cascade structure based on AdaBoost, it achieves more accurate promising regions of face. The experiment results show that this face detection algorithm improves the detection speed in both the quality of detection, and it can effectively reduce the error detection rate of single test method. This method has a good performance on image with complex background. Above all, this method has a certain theory value and practical value.","PeriodicalId":142910,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Progress in Informatics and Computing","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122041102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combining this privacy preserving method with typical FP-tree frequent pattern mining approach and WINEPI sequence pattern mining algorithm, an alert correlation model is set up to well balance the alert correlation and the privacy protection.

The hyper-volume metric (Zitzler 1999) is introduced to evaluate overall performance of the obtained solutions.

Because of standard image fusion methods are often successful at adding spatial detail into the multispectral imagery but distort the colour information in the fusion process. So, the paper presents an approach for multi-resolution image fusion of a high-resolution SPOT (Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre, SPOT) panchromatic image and a low-resolution Landsat 7 ETM+ multispectral image based on wavelet transform (WT) combined with filtering in the Fourier domain. Firstly, the images were decomposed to some wavelet coefficients by Mallat algorithm; Secondly, the wavelet transform methods add the wavelet coefficients of the SPOT PAN image to ETM+ image. Finally, the fused image is reconstructed by performing the inverse wavelet transform for obtaining multispectral images of higher spatial resolution. In order to evaluate the quality of the fused images, three quantitive indicators such as Gradients, RMSE, Correlation Coefficients were defined in the paper. In the mean time, the results from a number of wavelet-based image fusion schemes which are the intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) and high-pass filter method (HPF) are compared and these fusion methods were used to synthesize the Landsat ETM+ data and SPOT-5 PAN data were. The evaluation results showed that the WT fusion methods perform the fusion of SPOT PAN image and ETM+ image better than IHS and HPF, specially in preserving both spectral and spatial information. Experiment results showed that the proposed WT fusion algorithm works well in multi-resolution fusion and also preserve the original color or spectral characteristics of the input image data.","PeriodicalId":142910,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Progress in Informatics and Computing","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132685220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
