Spherical nonlinear correlations for global invariant three-dimensional object recognition
2007
We define a nonlinear filtering based on correlations on unit spheres to obtain both rotation- and scale-invariant three-dimensional (3D) object detection. Tridimensionality is expressed in terms of range images. The phase Fourier transform (PhFT) of a range image provides information about the orientations of the 3D object surfaces. When the object is sequentially rotated, the amplitudes of the different PhFTs form a unit radius sphere. On the other hand, a scale change is equivalent to a multiplication of the amplitude of the PhFT by a constant factor. The effect of both rotation and scale changes for 3D objects means a change in the intensity of the unit radius sphere. We define a 3D fil…
An API for Advanced Traffic Control in Diffserv Routers
2003
Distributed per-flow admission control is a promising solution for Differentiated Services networks. Its deployment in DiffSery domains requires the ability to suitably configure, in each network router, low-level packet forwarding mechanisms, such as packet dropping algorithms driven by traffic measurements. In this paper we first show that performance effectiveness is achieved by means of non traditional configuration of the forwarding mechanisms. Hence, we propose a modular Application Program Interface that allows to flexibly and adaptively configure the forwarding/dropping behavior associated to a router’s output queue, well beyond the traditional RED/RIO active queue management scheme…
An intrusion detection system for selective forwarding attack in IPv6-based mobile WSNs
2017
Selective forwarding attack is considered among the most dangerous attack in wireless sensor networks, particularly in mobile environment. The attackers compromise legitimate nodes and selectively drop some packets. In addition to that, the movement of some nodes increases link failures, collisions and packet loss. So, it will be more difficult to detect malicious nodes from legitimates ones. This paper focuses on detecting selective forwarding attackers in IPv6-based mobile wireless sensor networks when the standardized IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is used. Contrarily to previous works which propose solutions to detect selective forwarding attack in static w…
Securing AODV routing protocol against black hole attack in MANET using outlier detection scheme
2017
Imposing security in MANET is very challenging and hot topic of research science last two decades because of its wide applicability in applications like defense. Number of efforts has been made in this direction. But available security algorithms, methods, models and framework may not completely solve this problem. Motivated from various existing security methods and outlier detection, in this paper novel simple but efficient outlier detection scheme based security algorithm is proposed to protect the Ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) reactive routing protocol from Black hole attack in mobile ad hoc environment. Simulation results obtained from network simulator tool evident the simpl…
European transnational ecological deprivation index and participation in population-based breast cancer screening programmes in France.
2013
Abstract Background We investigated factors explaining low breast cancer screening programme (BCSP) attendance taking into account a European transnational ecological Deprivation Index. Patients and methods Data of 13,565 women aged 51–74 years old invited to attend an organised mammography screening session between 2010 and 2011 in thirteen French departments were randomly selected. Information on the women's participation in BCSP, their individual characteristics and the characteristics of their area of residence were recorded and analysed in a multilevel model. Results Between 2010 and 2012, 7121 (52.5%) women of the studied population had their mammography examination after they receive…
Classification of SD-OCT Volumes for DME Detection: An Anomaly Detection Approach
2016
International audience; Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is the leading cause of blindness amongst diabetic patients worldwide. It is characterized by accumulation of water molecules in the macula leading to swelling. Early detection of the disease helps prevent further loss of vision. Naturally, automated detection of DME from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) volumes plays a key role. To this end, a pipeline for detecting DME diseases in OCT volumes is proposed in this paper. The method is based on anomaly detection using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). It starts with pre-processing the B-scans by resizing, flattening, filtering and extracting features from them. Both intensity and Local Binar…
Reliable Coverage with Circumferential WMSNs
2021
This work tackles the closed peripheral coverage issue. Such circumferential surveillance is essential in numerous realistic applications where the goal is to ensure rapid detection of any unauthorized entry/exit of the monitored area. To respond to these requirements, peripheral WMSNs can be rapidly deployed around areas of interest (e.g., temporary military camps, natural or nuclear disasters, etc.). While it seems simple, this solution raises two major challenging issues. First, checking whether the deployed peripheral WMSN forms a closed shape around the monitored region. That is, any object trying to leave or access this area must be instantaneously detected by at least one multimedia …
Fully automatic saliency-based subjects extraction in digital images
2013
In this paper we present a novel saliency-based technique for the automatic extraction of relevant subjects in digital images. We use enhanced saliency maps to determine the most relevant parts of the images and an image cropping technique on the map itself to extract one or more relevant subjects. The contribution of the paper is two-fold as we propose a technique to enhance the standard GBVS saliency map and a technique to extract the most salient parts of the image. The GBVS saliency map is enhanced by applying three filters particularly designed to optimize the performance for the task of relevant subjects extraction. The extraction of relevant subjects is demonstrated on a manually ann…
The diagnostic role of saliva - A Review
2011
As a diagnostic fluid, saliva offers distinctive advantages over serum because it can be collected non-invasively by individuals, even by patient. Does not require special equipment for collection and storage as unlike blood saliva does not clot. Advantageous for person in whom blood drawing is difficult as in obese and haemophilic patient. Whole saliva used for diagnosis of systemic diseases, because it contains serum constituents. These constituents are derived from the local vasculature of the salivary glands and gingival cervicular fluid.This review examines the diagnostic application of saliva for hereditary disorders, autoimmune diseases, malignant and infectious diseases, and endocri…
Interest of studying the saliva metabolome, transcriptome and microbiome in screening for pancreatic cancer
2019
Abstract Introduction Pancreatic cancer is a public health problem because its mortality rate is close to its incidence rate. If it were possible to detect this cancer before the onset of symptoms, 5-year survival could reach 75%. Numerous studies have attempted to accelerate the diagnosis to improve survival. Saliva presents interesting characteristics as a fluid for screening and diagnosis. Its many components provide a promising source of constitutive biomarkers with a specific signature of the disease. The aim of this work was to determine the interest of studying the metabolome, the transcriptome and the microbiome of saliva in screening for pancreatic cancer. Materials and methods A r…
