  • Control Windows Photo Viewer by Hand Gesture Recognition


    International Journal of Advance Engineering and Research Development

    This paper works on controlling different functions of the image viewer through hand gesture recognition. In this paper a simple yet effective approach has been used to zoom in, zoom out and to view different images in an image viewer. Thumb plays an important role in the algorithm and the gestures used makes sense with the functions that these gestures are doing in the image viewer. This paper used a 30 fps with up to 30 mega pixel camera. Furthermore, pre-processing is done to segment the…

    This paper works on controlling different functions of the image viewer through hand gesture recognition. In this paper a simple yet effective approach has been used to zoom in, zoom out and to view different images in an image viewer. Thumb plays an important role in the algorithm and the gestures used makes sense with the functions that these gestures are doing in the image viewer. This paper used a 30 fps with up to 30 mega pixel camera. Furthermore, pre-processing is done to segment the hand region from its background. The proposed algorithm can be used for controlling different applications as well.

  • Risk Management in Healthcare Environment Using HITRUST CSF

    -

    Healthcare has proven itself to be a lucrative target for hackers. Healthcare Information Systems has always been more vulnerable to malfunctioning or identity theft than any other systems. In 2013, Department of Homeland security checked 300 medical devices and all of them failed security checks . There should be stringent controls in place to curtail the risk associated to Protected Health Information (PHI). To deal with this, HI-TRUST Common Security Framework is increasingly being seen as…

    Healthcare has proven itself to be a lucrative target for hackers. Healthcare Information Systems has always been more vulnerable to malfunctioning or identity theft than any other systems. In 2013, Department of Homeland security checked 300 medical devices and all of them failed security checks . There should be stringent controls in place to curtail the risk associated to Protected Health Information (PHI). To deal with this, HI-TRUST Common Security Framework is increasingly being seen as the solution to this problem, it enforces companies to meet privacy and security standards in order to mitigate risk and protect health information. HI-TRUST CSF is now widely being used to correctly implement the security of a healthcare organization . HI TRUST, the parent body that publishes HI-TRUST Common Security Framework claims that the framework works on the 5 steps for Risk Management in any organization. In this paper, we will map HI TRUST Common Security Framework’s controls with COBIT 5’s controls and then with the 5 steps of risk management, to check whether or not HI-TRUST’s claim of HI-TRUST CSF following a risk management approach at the high level is correct or not.
