基于四元数Zernike矩的RST不变彩色图像水印

提出一种基于四元数Zernike矩( QZM)的RST( Rotation, Scale, Translation)不变彩色图像水印方案,利用缩放平移归一化后的QZM模值具有旋转、缩放和平移不变性,采用抖动量化调制的方法在QZM模值中嵌入水印信息。该水印算法可以把水印嵌入所带来的误差扩散到红、绿、蓝3幅分量图像中,实验表明该算法在具有良好的不可感知性的同时对旋转、缩放和平移等几何攻击具有较好的鲁棒性。

对数极坐标变换是图像的一个空间变体表示，很多图像视觉系统用它来消除输入图像的缩放和平移效果。本文利用数极坐标变换的性质，消除平移和缩放对水印的威胁，用搜索的方法柬应封旋转攻击，设计并实现了一种新的抗几何攻击的水印算法。实验结果表明，该算法可以有效地抗旋转、缩放、平移等几何攻击。     

基于图像小波矩特征调制的鲁棒水印

为了提高水印抵抗旋转、剪切等攻击的能力，提出了一种新的基于小波矩特征调制的鲁棒性水印算法。小波矩具有旋转、平移、缩放不变性，且具有小波的多分辨率特性，可以利用水印信息调制载体的低阶小波矩实现信息的隐藏，并且对各阶矩的隐藏能力进行比较。实验表明该算法对剪切、旋转等几何攻击具有很强的抵抗能力，且水印检测不需要原载体的参与。     

基于Fourier-Mellion变换抗仿射变换水印算法

现有的数字水印技术大多难以抵抗几何变换类攻击,如旋转、平移和尺度变换等,特别是仿射变换（旋转、平移和尺度变换混合的多种攻击）,其中一个最主要的原因是：几何变换虽然并未去除图像中的水印信息,但却使水印的检测与嵌入之间失去同步,从而导致水印检测的失效。针对以上原因提出了一种基于图像矩和傅里叶梅林变换抗仿射不变性水印算法。对于平移造成的几何攻击,在水印检测之前利用原始图像的几何矩估计水印图像所经过的几何变换,根据估计的参数对水印图像进行相应的校正和水印检测。对于旋转和尺度变换造成几何攻击,通过对数极坐标系能将笛卡尔坐标系中的旋转和缩放变换为平移的性质,结合Fourier变换来抵抗旋转和缩放攻击。实验结果证明,该方法可以获得良好的图像视觉效果,同时对于几何攻击具有很好的鲁棒性。     

基于对数极坐标下的SVD数字水印算法

为了解决笛卡尔坐标系下水印不同步问题文章提出了一种对数极坐标系下的基于奇异值分解的抗旋转,缩放攻击鲁棒性水印算法。对于旋转,缩放造成的几何攻击,我们可以通过对数极坐标系将笛卡尔坐标系中的旋转,缩放变换转换为循环平移的性质,对于循环平移后的图像,在水印检测时我们可以使用穷举遍历的方法来检测测试图像是否包含水印信息。实验结果证明,该方法可以获得良好的图像视觉效果,同时对于加噪,滤波,JPEG压缩,剪切攻击也具有有很好的鲁棒性。     

基于四元数傅里叶梅林变换的RST不变彩色图像水印算法

提出一种基于四元数傅里叶梅林变换(QFMT)的RST(旋转、缩放和平移)不变彩色图像水印算法,利用图像的不变质心生成具有平移稳定性的圆形特征区域,对这个圆形区域进行QFMT。利用QFMT幅度谱具有旋转和缩放不变性,在QFMT幅度谱中嵌入水印信息。该算法不仅可以抗RST攻击,大大提升水印的鲁棒性,而且可以把水印嵌入所带来的误差扩散到载体图像的各个颜色分量之中,扩大水印嵌入的容量。实验结果表明,该方法具有较好的抗压缩性,对RST等攻击有良好的鲁棒性。     

基于Cartesian矩的水印图像矫正算法

抗几何失真的局部数字水印算法

抗几何攻击一直是数字水印中的难点问题,为了更好地解决这个问题,基于图像的几何不变域,提出了一种抗几何失真的局部数字水印算法.算法利用显著性检测器检测到的具有平移、缩放和旋转不变性特性的圆形显著区域来嵌入水印.如何利用显著区域构造不变区域以获得平移、缩放及旋转不变性,以及如何从不变区域中筛选出适合嵌水印的区域,为要解决的重点问题,首先将水印进行几何变换来匹配各个水印嵌入区域的形状,再不可感知地嵌入到各个水印嵌入区域中.还着重讨论了如何利用显著区域获得平移、缩放及旋转不变性.实验表明该算法能很好地抵抗一般的信号处理攻击及旋转、缩放、裁剪和线性变换等几何攻击.

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。
