Skin detection is very challenging because of the differences in illumination, cameras characteristics, the range of skin colours due to different ethnicities and many other variations. New effective and accurate methodologies are developed for skin colour detection to easily identify human's skin colour threw databases which are specifically designed to assist research in the area of face recognition. One of these is the recently built SFA database that showed high accuracy for segmentation of face images. The approach described in this paper exploits skin and non-skin samples provided by SFA for skin segmentation on the basis of the well-known Euclidean and Manhattan distance metrics. Most importantly, the scheme proposed tries to segment facial colour images inside or outside SFA by means of skin samples belonging to SFA. Simulation results in both SFA and UTD colour face databases indicate that detection rates higher than 95% can be achieved with either measure.

In this paper, the leaky acoustic microwaves (LAW) in a piezoelectric substrate (Lithium Niobate LiNbO3 Cut Y-X) were studied. The main method for this research was classification using a probabilistic neural network (PNN).The originality of this method is in the accurate values it provides. In our case, this technique was helpful in identifying undetectable waves, which are difficult to identify by classical methods. Moreover, all the values of the real part and the imaginary part of the coefficient attenuation with the acoustic velocity were classified in order to build a model from which we could easily note the Leaky waves. Accurate values of the coefficient attenuation and acoustic velocity for Leaky waves were obtained. Hence, in this study, the focus was on the interesting modeling and realization of acoustic microwave devices (radiating structures) based on the propagation of acoustic microwaves

Laser communication between satellites in the constellation and from the satellites to ground stations offers a gigantic data rate for the users. This principal advantage drives telecom companies to develop this technology to use it like a carrier signal, the most disadvantage of this technology is the need to very complicated pointing systems between the transmitter and the receiver due to a very small beam divergence, continually moving of satellites in orbits and the distance between the satellites (tens of thousands of kilometers). The laser beam suffers continuously from several factors like atmospheric turbulences, internal and external vibrations. All these factors lead to an increase in the bit errors rate and cause degradation in the communication quality. This paper deals with a new method of modelisation of external effects in transmission of signal light from a ground station to the satellite through atmospheric disturbances. Indeed, an in-depth investigation, of the influences of satellite vibrationsinlaser signal transmission between satellites constellation, has been conducted by studying the effect of the intensity of vibrations on the optical signal amplitude. Some solutions are proposed to improve the efficiency of optical satellites communications.

This paper presents an efficient method for recovery of SIMS signals from strongly noised blurred discrete data. This technique is based on Tikhonov-Miller regularization where a priori model of solution is included. The latter is a denoisy signal obtained using the Kalman filter. This is an interesting estimation method, but it can only be used when the system is described precisely. By comparing the results of the proposed technique with those of the literature, our algorithm gives the best results without artifacts and oscillations related to noise and significant improvement of the depth resolution. While, the gain in FWHM is less improved than those obtained by the wavelet technique. Therefore, this new algorithm can push the limits of SIMS measurements towards its ultimate resolution.
