基于Radon变换不变矩和小波提升的水印算法

提出了一种基于Radon变换不变矩和提升小波的抗几何攻击水印算法。该方法首先对图像进行一次提升小波分解,然后计算其低频成分的Radon变换不变矩来构建水印系统。水印提取过程简单,只需计算所得图像的几个Radon变换不变矩不变量。文章给出了实验结果,并与基于几何矩不变量的算法进行了比较。经过仿真实验证明,该方法对于旋转,缩放,平移等攻击具有很好鲁棒性的同时,对于普通的加噪,滤波,JPEG压缩攻击也具有很好的鲁棒性,且具有极低误检率。     

Orthogonal variant moments features in image analysis

Moments are statistical measures used to obtain relevant information about a certain object under study (e.g., signals, images or waveforms), e.g., to describe the shape of an object to be recognized by a pattern recognition system. Invariant moments (e.g., the Hu invariant set) are a special kind of these statistical measures designed to remain constant after some transformations, such as object rotation, scaling, translation, or image illumination changes, in order to, e.g., improve the reliability of a pattern recognition system. The classical moment invariants methodology is based on the determination of a set of transformations (or perturbations) for which the system must remain unaltered. Although very well established, the classical moment invariants theory has been mainly used for processing single static images (i.e. snapshots) and the use of image moments to analyze images sequences or video, from a dynamic point of view, has not been sufficiently explored and is a subject of much interest nowadays. In this paper, we propose the use of variant moments as an alternative to the classical approach. This approach presents clear differences compared to the classical moment invariants approach, that in specific domains have important advantages. The difference between the classical invariant and the proposed variant approach is mainly (but not solely) conceptual: invariants are sensitive to any image change or perturbation for which they are not invariant, so any unexpected perturbation will affect the measurements (i.e. is subject to uncertainty); on the contrary, a variant moment is designed to be sensitive to a specific perturbation, i.e., to measure a transformation, not to be invariant to it, and thus if the specific perturbation occurs it will be measured; hence any unexpected disturbance will not affect the objective of the measurement confronting thus uncertainty. Furthermore, given the fact that the proposed variant moments are orthogonal (i.e. uncorrelated) it is possible to considerably reduce the total inherent uncertainty. The presented approach has been applied to interesting open problems in computer vision such as shape analysis, image segmentation, tracking object deformations and object motion tracking, obtaining encouraging results and proving the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

A systematic method for efficient computation of full and subsets Zernike moments

A new method is proposed for fast and accurate computation of Zernike moments. This method presents a novel formula for computing exact Zernike moments by using exact complex moments where the exact values of complex moments are computed by mathematical integration of the monomials over digital image pixels. The proposed method is applicable to compute the full set of Zernike moments as well as the subsets of individual order, repetition and an individual moment. A comparison with other conventional methods is performed. The results show the superiority of the proposed method.     

Novel moment invariants for improved classification performance in computer vision applications

A novel set of moment invariants based on the Krawtchouk moments are introduced in this paper. These moment invariants are computed over a finite number of image intensity slices, extracted by applying an innovative image representation scheme, the image slice representation (ISR) method. Based on this technique an image is decomposed to a several non-overlapped intensity slices, which can be considered as binary slices of certain intensity. This image representation gives the advantage to accelerate the computation of image's moments since the image can be described in a number of homogenous rectangular blocks, which permits the simplification of the computation formulas. The moments computed over the extracted slices seem to be more efficient than the corresponding moments of the same order that describe the whole image, in recognizing the pattern under processing. The proposed moment invariants are exhaustively tested in several well known computer vision datasets, regarding their rotation, scaling and translation (RST) invariant recognition performance, by resulting to remarkable outcomes.

On l∞ and l2 robustness of spatially invariant systems

We consider spatiotemporal systems and study their l_∞ and l₂ robustness properties in the presence of spatiotemporal perturbations. In particular, we consider spatially invariant nominal models and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for system robustness for the cases when the underlying perturbations are linear spatiotemporal varying, and nonlinear spatiotemporal invariant, unstructured or structured. It turns out that these conditions are analogous to the scaled small gain condition (which is equivalent to a spectral radius condition and a linear matrix inequality for the l_∞ and l₂ cases, respectively) derived for standard linear time‐invariant models subject to time‐varying linear and time‐invariant nonlinear perturbations.

Efficient analysis of wireless communication antennas using an accurate [Z] matrix interpolation technique

An accurate impedance matrix interpolation technique based on the surface integral equation (SIE) is presented for the analysis of wireless communication antennas over wide frequency bands. The first‐order derivative of the impedance matrix at the internal frequency is considered in the cubic polynomial‐based interpolation scheme, thus the novel impedance matrix interpolation scheme will provide high accuracy and high efficiency over a frequency band. To demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method, numerical results for planar inverted F antennas (PIFA) and a wideband E‐shaped patch antenna are presented. Good agreement among the interpolation results, exact MoM solutions, finite element method (FEM) solutions, and measured data is observed over the bandwidth. Besides, dimensions of the feeding probe are also studied to investigate their effect on the input impedance and radiation patterns. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

结构上下文:一种新的物体类别描述符

局部描述符(如SIFT)方法能够将图像中关键点的局部表观信息作为图像的特征,具有旋转不变性、尺度变换不变性、仿射不变性等性质,被广泛应用于物体分类、物体识别、图像匹配等领域。但是,它存在一个重要缺陷:只能描述物体的局部特征,忽略了整个物体的构造,而这在表示物体时是非常重要的。设计了一个新的"结构上下文"局部描述符,通过当前关键点和其他关键点间的空间拓扑结构关系描述各个关键点的特征。实验证明这种描述符在描述相同物体种类时特别有效。
