The implementation of anomaly detection systems represents a key problem that has been focusing the efforts of scientific community.In this context, the use one-class techniques to model a training set of non-anomalous objects can play a significant role.One common approach to face the one-class problem is based on determining the geometric boundaries of the target set.More specifically, the use of convex hull combined with random projections offers good results but presents low performance when it is applied to nonconvex sets.Then, this work proposes a new method that face this issue by implementing non-convex boundaries over each projection.The proposal was assessed and compared with the most common one-class techniques, over different sets, obtaining successful results.
