Deformation effects, such as affine and homography, change the local information within the image and can result in ambiguous local information pertaining to image points. New method based on dissimilarity values, which measures the dissimilarity of the features through the path based on Eigenvector properties, is proposed. Evidence shows that existing matching techniques using similarity metrics-such as normalized cross-correlation, squared sum of intensity differences and correlation coefficient-are insufficient for achieving adequate results under different image deformations. Thus, new descriptor's similarity metrics based on normalized Eigenvector correlation and signal directional differences, which are robust under local variation of the image information, are proposed to establish an efficient feature matching technique. The method proposed in this study measures the dissimilarity in the signal frequency along the path between two features. Moreover, these dissimilarity values are accumulated in a 2D dissimilarity space, allowing accurate corresponding features to be extracted based on the cumulative space using a voting strategy. This method can be used in image registration applications, as it overcomes the limitations of the existing approaches. The output results demonstrate that the proposed technique outperforms the other methods when evaluated using a standard dataset, in terms of precision-recall and corner correspondence.

The first step is to propose a new descriptor by using signal entropy to determine the number of circular areas for extracted lines. Then, to enhance the orientation histogram, standard deviation over the entropy value and number of circles is used to determine the number of bins in each area. Evaluation results demonstrates the robustness of the proposed descriptor in dynamic line matching (DLM) in omnidirectional images.

A new similarity value, which measures the similarity of the signal through the path based on triple-wise signal eigenvector correlation, is proposed. The proposed method extracts similarity feature values by relying on the distinct path between two specific interest points and following the alternation of the signal while traversing the path. Because these similarity values of the path are deformation invariant, the proposed method supports various types of transformation in the original image, such as scale, translation, rotation, intensity noises and occlusion. Moreover, the triple-wise similarity scores are accumulated in a 2-D similarity space; thus, robust matched correspondence points are obtained using cumulative similarity space. SOFM was compared to the most recent related methods using corner correspondence (CC) and precision-recall evaluation metrics. The findings confirmed that SOFM provides higher correspondence ratios, and the results indicate that it outperforms currently utilized methods in terms of accuracy and generalization.

Usefulness Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are increasing incredibly in Information Security research using Soft computing techniques. In the previous researches having irrelevant and redundant features are recognized causes of increasing the processing speed of evaluating the known intrusive patterns. In addition, an efficient feature selection method eliminates dimension of data and reduce redundancy and ambiguity caused by none important attributes. Therefore, feature selection methods are well-known methods oovercome this problem. There are various approaches being utilized in intrusion detections, they are able to perform their method and relatively they are achieved with some improvements. This work is based on the enhancement of the highest Detection Rate (DR) algorithm which is Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) reducing the False Alarm Rate (FAR) incorporates with Bees Algorithm. Finally, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the best candidate solutions to settle IDSs problems. In this study four sample dataset containing 4000 random records are excluded randomly from this dataset for training and testing purposes. Experimental results show that the LGP_BA method improves the accuracy and efficiency compared with the previous related research and the feature subcategory offered by LGP_BA gives a superior representation of data.

The new approach rotates images based on vertical or horizontal lines in the original image and their rotated equation in the target image. The proposed method is a one-pass method that determines a based-line equation in the target image and extracts all corresponding pixels on the base-line. Floating-point multiplications are performed to calculate the base-line in the target image, and other line coordinates are calculated using integer addition or subtraction and logical justifications from the base-line pixel coordinates in the target image. To avoid a heterogeneous distance between rotated pixels in the target image, each line rotates to two adjacent lines. The proposed method yields good performance in terms of speed and quality according to the results of an analysis of the computation speed and accuracy.

Vital problems in transportation such as mobility and safety of transportation are considered more, especially in metropolitans and road ways. Road traffic monitoring aims at the acquisition and analysis of traffic figures, such as presence and numbers of vehicles, and automatic driver warning systems are developed mainly for localization and safety purposes. In this paper we propose a strategy for road following from aerial images. Real time extraction and localization of a road from an aerial image is an emerging research area that can be applied to vision-based traffic controlling and navigation of unmanned air vehicles. In order to deal with the high complexity of this type of images, we integrate detailed knowledge about roads using explicitly formulated scale dependent models. The intensity images are used for the extraction of road from aerial images. Threshold techniques, Hough transform and learning algorithm are used for the road extraction and car detection. The results show that the proposed approach has a good detection performance.
