A novel blind watermarking method for 8 bit grayscale images in 8/spl times/8 block DCT (discrete cosine transform) domain is presented. The method is based on an advanced spread-spectrum algorithm (see Cox, I.J. et al., NEC Research Institute Technical Report p.95-100, 1995). However, instead of correlation analysis in the detection phase, it extracts the difference between the histogram properti...... hiện toàn bộ

An original tetrahedral representation of the genetic code (GC) is presented. It is shown that the dimensionality of the genomic signal representation can be reduced by projecting the genetic code tetrahedron on an adequately oriented plane, leading to the complex representations of the GC. On these bases, optimal symbolic-to-digital mappings of the linear, one-dimensional and one-directional stra...... hiện toàn bộ
A new symbiotic genetic algorithm (SGA) based active contour model (snake) is proposed to track the B-spline contour of obstacles. It exploits the local control properties of the B-spline to decompose the contour into subcontours and optimizes each subcontour in separate genetic algorithms (GA). Unlike the GA-based snake, an SGA snake can track the obstacle's outline more robustly. Application-spe...... hiện toàn bộ

The field of the research related to the implementation of nonlinear order-statistic filters through their equivalent expression by positive Boolean functions (PBF) lies in the conversion between the traditional filtering functions and their corresponding PBF. In the case of the order-statistic LUM smoothers, the complexity of minimal PBF depends on a smoothing parameter and window size. In order ...... hiện toàn bộ

Images with rapid motion are more or less degraded at low bit rate transmission. Hence a motion compensation technique is implemented to improve the coding efficiency. Performance in terms of bit rate is compared between motion compensated and nonmotion-compensated multimode video coding. Multimode video coding optimizes the tradeoff between the conflicting objectives of high compression ratio and...... hiện toàn bộ
This paper describes a high capacity blind video watermarking system invariant to geometrical attacks such as shift, rotation, scaling and cropping. A spatial domain reference watermark is used to obtain invariance to geometric attacks by employing image registration techniques to determine and invert the attacks. A second, high capacity watermark, which carries the data payload, is embedded in th...... hiện toàn bộ
This paper aims at probing into the mapping relationship and rules between painting and music. After the examination of corresponding relation between image and music, relevant arithmetic is put forward in accordance with certain principles in scientific and art, in which the original information in the image is converted into musical information, thus enabling people to obtain visual impression f...... hiện toàn bộ

Color provides a wealth of information for interpretation of image content. The increased availability of affordable digital color cameras has created the opportunity to explore the degree to which color is useful in computer vision. This paper shows that a system for image segmentation and classification can be created using color as the primary feature. This system is comprised of two phases: se...... hiện toàn bộ
SPIHT is a very efficient image compression algorithm that is based on the idea of coding groups of wavelet coefficients as zerotrees. This method is well suited for the dyadic wavelet transform, where child-parent relations are easily established. In this paper we investigate how the SPIHT algorithm can be used for any arbitrary wavelet packet basis.
