This paper presents a new vulnerability scanning model named as INVUS, which contains aspects of both network and host-based vulnerability scanners. INVUS model has client/server architecture and provides an option to repair the found vulnerabilities by working with the firewall.

Color scanners are becoming quite popular as input devices for desktop publishing. In many applications it is desirable to obtain calibrated color from them. In order to properly calibrate the device for a variety of illuminants, it is necessary to estimate the spectral sensitivity of the scanner. This paper describes a set theoretic approach to this problem. This method is shown to have increa...

The proliferation of malware (viruses, Trojans, and other malicious code) in recent years has presented a serious threat to individual users, enterprises, and organizations alike. Current static scanning techniques for malware detection have serious limitations; on the other hand, sandbox testing fails to provide a complete satisfactory solution either due to time constraints (e.g., time bombs ...

We give a method for improving the resolution of surfaces captured with a laser range scanner by combining many very similar scans. This idea is an application of the 2D image processing technique known as superresolution. The input lower-resolution scans are each randomly shifted, so that each one contributes slightly different information to the final model. Noise is reduced by averaging the ...
