this paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. this system can be used in multiple places. for example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. this system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. a...

most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. to solve the problem, this paper utilizes zernike moment (zm) and pseudo zernike moment (pzm) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...

detecting faces in cluttered backgrounds and real world has remained as an unsolved problem yet. in this paper, by using composition of some kind of independent features and one of the most common appearance based approaches, and multilayered perceptron (mlp) neural networks, not only some questions have been answered, but also the designed system achieved better performance rather than the pre...

This paper presents a new Fast Kurtogram Method in the time-frequency domain using novel types of statistical features instead of the kurtosis. For this study, the problem of four classes for Bearing Fault Detection is investigated using various statistical features. This research is conducted in four stages. At first, the stability of each feature for each fault mode is investigated. Then, res...

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) by contrast of other networks have more vulnerability because of having nature properties such as dynamic topology and no infrastructure. Therefore, a considerable challenge for these networks, is a method expansion that to be able to specify anomalies with high accuracy at network dynamic topology alternation. In this paper, two methods proposed for dynamic anom...

in this paper, we propose a novel method for fully automatic detection and tracking of human heads and faces in video sequences. the proposed algorithm consists of two modules: a face detection module and a face tracking module. the detection module, detects the face region and approximates it with an ellipse at the first frame using a modified version of adaboost cascaded classifier. the detec...

Information security and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) plays a critical role in the Internet. IDS is an essential tool for detecting different kinds of attacks in a network and maintaining data integrity, confidentiality and system availability against possible threats. In this paper, a hybrid approach towards achieving high performance is proposed. In fact, the important goal of this paper ...

in this paper, a new method is presented for the detection of defects in random textures. in the training stage, the feature vectors of the normal textures’ images are extracted by using the optimal response of gabor wavelet filters, and their probability density is estimated by means of the gaussian mixture model (gmm). in the testing stage, similar to the previous stage,at  first, the feature...
