Abstract
The paper presents an approach focused on the detection of unusual behaviors in the monitored environments using computer vision. The theoretical aspects employ techniques specific to image processing and the neuro-fuzzy technique ANFIS. The DIMAN framework is presented here. It enables the implementation of these techniques. The application of the new approach related to skin color recognition can be encountered in public places like banks or post-offices where several risks must be recognized; these places are protected by special security crews, but the increasing demand on improved security requires redundant and failsafe methods which eliminate the human factor.
