In the first phase, we extracted clusters of normal events through an agglomerative hierarchical clustering of saved trajectories that were of different lengths, of different local time shifts and containing noise. Then, for each cluster a model was established. In the second phase, we aimed to classify a new event as normal or abnormal one. To achieve this objective, a comparison was performed with the extracted clusters' models thereby reducing the complexity and accelerating the classification process.

Input image is first over-segmented. Then, prior domain knowledge is used to perform a fuzzy classification of these regions to provide a fuzzy semantic labeling. This allows the proposed approach to operate at high level instead of using low-level features and consequently to remedy to the problem of the semantic gap. Each oversegmented region is represented by a vector giving its corresponding membership degrees to the different thematic labels and the whole image is therefore represented by a Regions Partition Matrix. The segmentation is achieved on this matrix instead of the image pixels through two main phases: focusing and propagation. The focusing aims at selecting seeds regions from which information propagation will be performed. The propagation phase allows to spread toward others regions and using fuzzy contextual information the needed knowledge ensuring the semantic segmentation. An application of the proposed approach on mammograms shows promising results.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124380271","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}

In each cluster, LEACH randomly selects some sensor nodes called cluster heads (CHs). The selection of CHs is made with a probabilistic calculation. It is supposed that each non-CH node joins a cluster and becomes a cluster member. Nevertheless, some CHs can be concentrated in a specific part of the network. Thus several sensor nodes cannot reach any CH. to solve this problem. We created an O-LEACH Orphan nodes protocol, its role is to reduce the sensor nodes which do not belong the cluster. O-LEACH present two scenarios, the first scenario consists, a cluster member will be able to play the role of a gateway which allows the joining of orphan nodes. The gateway node has to connect a number of orphan nodes, thus the gateway node is considered as a CH' for connected orphans. As a result, orphan nodes become able to send their data messages to the CH' which performs in turn data aggregation and send aggregated data message to the CH. The second scenario consists, if in an area not covered, the number of orphan nodes is very important, if number of cluster member is superior to number of orphan nodes, a sub-cluster will be created. The first orphan node reached the gateway (member of cluster) will be a CH'. O-Leach enables the formation of a new method of cluster, leads to a long life and minimal energy consumption. In orphan node possess enough energy and seeks to be covered by the network. The principal novel contribution of the proposed work is O-LEACH protocol which provides coverage of the whole network with a minimum number of orphaned nodes and has a very high connectivity rates. The simulation results show that O-LEACH performs better than LEACH in terms of coverage, connectivity rate, energy and scalability.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125218003","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}

The need of authenticating digital content is increasing. Image authentication can be done by embedding a mark in the image using digital fragile watermarking. In this paper we propose a new approach for image authentication based on Faber Schauder Discrete Wavelet Transform (FSDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The watermark used to authenticate the image is extracted from the image dominant blocks using SVD and FSDWT. This watermark is embedded in the LSB plan of image. This one is characterized by its contours and its around textures which contain an important concentration of dominant coefficients that are used to select the dominant blocks. Any image modification will result in an important change in the dominant blocks. Hence, if the image is altered, the singular values of the dominant blocks will be dramatically changed, then we confirm that the image is not authentic.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129125152","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}
