Adaptive Filtering 2015

	Adaptive Filtering 2015

As the power of digital signal processors has increased, adaptive filters are now routinely used in many devices as varied as mobile phones, printers, cameras, power systems, GPS devices, and medical monitoring equipment. An adaptive filter uses an optimization algorithm in a system with a linear filter to adjust parameters that have a transfer function controlled by variable parameters. Because of the complexity of the optimization algorithms, most of these adaptive filters are digital filters. They are required for some applications because some parameters of the desired processing operation are not known in advance or are changing. The works cited here are articles about adaptive filtering as it relates to the Science of Security. Articles were published in 2015.

Abstract: This paper proposes the use of adaptive bilateral filter for the segmentation of hyperspectral images. First, the spectral bands are selected according to the information contained in each band. Then on each band, adaptive bilateral filter is applied in order to increase the spatial correlation of each pixel. The results are evaluated based on the successful segmentation percentage. It is shown that the segmentation accuracy of k-means clustering algorithm is increased.

Abstract: To ensure the security and reliability of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), an intelligent fault-tolerant strategy for integrated navigation systems is presented in this paper. The improved federated Kalman filter (FKF) is designed to fuse the multiple subsystems, including strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), magnetic compass (MCP), Doppler velocity log (DVL) and terrain aided navigation (TAN). The intelligent fault-tolerant structure of SINS/MCP/DVL/TAN integrated navigation system is first established, which includes adaptive local filters and fault isolation decision (FID) modules. Fuzzy logic is introduced to adaptively adjust the measurement covariance matrixes of local filters online. FID module is implemented based on fuzzy reasoning. The simulation results show that, the proposed fault-tolerant strategy detects and insulates the faults effectively, which can greatly improve the reliability and guarantee the safety of AUVs in complex underwater environments.

Abstract: The tool firewall is the software or hardware procedure that facilitates to guard data and it filter the entire traffic voyage the network boundary. It might be configured to restrict or to permit certain devices or applications to access our data sources available in our network. Packet matching over the firewall tool can be treated as a taper setting trouble: All network data packet consist of its own addressing fields, which must be examined beside every firewall policies to locate the earliest identical rule. Surviving Firewall applications such as CISCO PIX Firewalls and Checkpoint FireWall-1 provide various built-in software tools that permit firewalls as Bundle or Sorted and these tacked Firewalls will partake their charges. The main accusatives of these surviving mechanisms are focusing only to mend the Performance, Exploitation of resources and protection. But still these mechanisms not succeed to attain superior execution while focusing on usage of resources. To handle this difficulty, the projected study is applied in Java software as a Firewall tool which holds an Adaptive Firewall Policies filtering procedure using “Arithmetic Proficient Toning” mechanism, which upgrades the performance of the firewalls over the network in conditions of resources exploitation, services delay and throughput. This anticipated work brought out an adaptative Firewall Policies Diminution Procedure along with an efficient packet filtering mechanism, which dilutes firewall rules execution without compromising the System Security. From the results of our anticipated research, it is founded that this projected practice is a proficient and practical algorithm for firewall policy toning and it dilutes the overall servicing cost, which helps to attain concert at a more prominent grade.

Abstract: In this work we propose a generic framework for generating an irreversible representation of multiple biometric templates based on adaptive Bloom filters. The presented technique enables a feature level fusion of different biometrics (face and iris) to a single protected template, improving privacy protection compared to the corresponding systems based on a single biometric trait. At the same time, a significant gain in biometric performance is achieved, confirming the soundness of the proposed technique.

Abstract: Use of computer vision on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) has been a promising area of research given its potential applications in exploration, surveillance and security. Localization in indoor, unknown environments can become increasingly difficult due to irregularities or complete absence of GPS. Advent of small, light and high performance cameras and computing hardware has enabled design of autonomous systems. In this paper, the optic flow principle is employed for estimating two dimensional motion of the UAV using a downward facing monocular camera. Combining it with an ultrasonic sensor, UAV’s three dimensional position is estimated. Position estimation and trajectory tracking have been performed and verified in a laboratory setup. All computations are carried out onboard the UAV using a miniature single board computer.

Abstract: Network management is part of traffic engineering and security. The current solutions - Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and statistical classification, rely on the availability of a training set. In case of these there is a cumbersome need to regularly update the signatures. Further their visibility is limited to classes the classifier has been trained for. Unsupervised algorithms have been envisioned as a an alternative to automatically identify classes of traffic. To address these issues Self Learning Network Traffic Classification is proposed. It uses unsupervised algorithms along with an adaptive seeding approach to automatically lets classes of traffic to emerge, making them identified and labelled. Unlike traditional classifiers, there is no need of a-priori knowledge of signatures nor a training set to extract the signatures. Instead, Self Learning Network Traffic Classification automatically groups flows into pure (or homogeneous) clusters using simple statistical features. This label assignment (which is still based on some manual intervention) ensures that class labels can be easily discovered. Furthermore, Self Learning Network Traffic Classification uses an iterative seeding approach which will boost its ability to cope with new protocols and applications. Unlike state-of-art classifiers, the biggest advantage of Self Learning Network Traffic Classification is its ability to discover new protocols and applications in an almost automated fashion.
