(t,k, n) XOR-based visual cryptography scheme with essential shadows

Visual cryptography scheme (VCS) shares a binary secret image into multiple shadows, only qualified set of shadows can reveal the secret image by stacking operation. However, VCS suffers the problems of low visual quality of the revealed image and large shadow size. A (t, k, n) XOR-based visual cryptography scheme (XVCS) shares the secret image into n shadows including t essentials and n-t non-essentials. A qualified set of shadows contains any k shadows including t essentials. The revealing process is implemented by XOR operation on the involved shadows. In this paper, we propose a construction method for (t, k, n)-XVCS with essential shadows. The secret image can be revealed perfectly, and the shadow size is small compared with VCS. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show the security and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Constructions of general (k,n) reversible AMBTC-based visual cryptography with two decryption options

In this paper, a general method of $(k\text{,}n)$ threshold Reversible Absolute moment block truncation coding Visual Cryptography Scheme (RAVCS) is introduced for sharing a binary secret image into multiple absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC) shadows. A $(k\text{,}k)$ RAVCS is firstly proposed to encode a secret by referencing one ABMTC image. Then, the proposed $(k\text{,}k)$ RAVCS is adopted to share the same secret into multiple groups of shadows by referencing multiple images. Those multiple groups of shadows are distributed to participants according to a matrix generated by the proposed shadow distribution algorithms. When any k or more participants share their shadows, the secret image is revealed by OR or XOR decryption. Further, those AMBTC shadows can be losslessly reverted to their original forms. Sufficient theoretical analysis and extensive experimental results are provided in this paper, showing the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.     

Cheating in (halftone-secret) visual cryptography: Analysis of blind authentication schemes

In visual cryptography (VC), cheating is an important security concern where dishonest participants will fool honest ones and make them accept a fake secret by providing fake shares. Share and blind authentications are two categories of cheating prevention, and the last one relies on the inherent robust of shares against cheating attacks. In the previous studies, cheating in VC only focuses on operating a ‘pixel block’ instead of a region of adjacent pixels. However, the well-known advantage of VC is to decode the secret image by using the human vision system (HVS), so it leads to a natural issue to reconsider cheating a region. In this paper, we formally address the binocular cheating attack (BCA) for a region to augment effectiveness of original cheating for a block. Finally, we demonstrate how to realize BCA by presenting non-trivial techniques against some blind authentication schemes, and further obtain implausible results. The BCA can also be applied to halftone secret.

热光非定域螺旋相衬成像（特邀）

边缘增强作为一种图像处理技术,对于研究物体边界信息有着重要的应用。根据热光鬼成像的关联机制,将鬼成像与螺旋相衬成像技术相结合,把相位物体与涡旋滤光器非定域地放在热光鬼成像系统的探测光路和参考光路中,建立了相位物体边缘增强识别系统。实验结果表明,采用具有分数阶轨道角动量拓扑荷的涡旋滤波器可以实现轨道角动量值在0~1范围内的相位物体的边缘渐变性增强效果。随着轨道角动量拓扑荷数的增加,相位物体的边缘增强效果会越明显。非定域螺旋相衬成像相较于传统的螺旋相衬成像方案,突破了被测物体和涡旋滤波器在同一光路,并且滤波器必须放置在频谱面的空间局域性限制,解除了对主动照明光源相干性的要求,增强了涡旋滤波相衬成像系统的泛化能力。

Optimal (2, n) and (2, infinity) visual secret sharing by generalized random grids

Based on generalized random grids, this paper proposes two visual cryptography methods denoted as (2, n) GRG and (2, infinity) GRG. The (2, n) GRG is suitable for the pre-decided number of shares, and the (2, infinity) method is suitable for the adjustable number of shares. The proposed (2, n) GRG achieves better contrast on the stacking result, and the proposed (2, infinity) GRG enables extending the number of shares anytime. Based on the definition of contrast in Shyu’s work in 2007, we also demonstrate that the stacking result of (2, n) GRG is close to the theoretical bound of the contrast, and the stacking result of (2, infinity) GRG achieves the theoretical bound of the contrast.

Two-channel perfect reconstruction (PR) quadrature mirror filter (QMF) bank design using logarithmic window function and spline function

In this work, two-channel perfect reconstruction quadrature mirror filter (QMF) bank has been proposed based on the prototype filter using windowing method. A novel window function based on logarithmic function along with the spline function is utilized for the design of prototype filter. The proposed window has a variable parameter ‘\(\alpha \)’, which varies the peak side lobe level and rate of fall-off side lobe level which in turn affects the peak reconstruction error (PRE) and amplitude distortion (\(e_{am}\)) of the QMF bank . The transition width of the prototype is controlled by the spline function using the parameter ‘\(\mu \)’. The perfect reconstruction condition is satisfied by setting the cutoff frequency (\(\omega _{c}\)) of the prototype low-pass filter at ‘\(\pi /2\)’. The performance of the proposed design method has been evaluated in terms of mean square error in the pass band, mean square error in the stop band, first side lobe attenuation (\(A_{1}\)), peak reconstruction error (PRE) and amplitude error (\(e_{am}\)) for different values of ‘\(\alpha \)’ and ‘\(\mu \)’. The results are provided and compared with the existing methods.     

Exponential spline perfect reconstruction,decomposition and reconstruction with applications in compression and denoising

B-splines caught interest of many engineering applications due to their merits of being flexible and provide a large degree of differentiability and cost/quality trade-off relationship. However, they have less impact with continuous-time applications as they are constructed from piecewise polynomials. On the other hand, exponential spline polynomials (E-splines) represent the best smooth transition between continuous and discrete domains as they are made of exponential segments. In this paper, we present a complete analysis for an E-spline-based subband coding (wavelet) perfect reconstruction (PR) system. Derivations for the scaling and wavelet functions are presented, along with application of the proposed system in image compression and image denoising. In image compression, a comparison of the proposed technique compared with the B-spline-based PR system as well as the basic wavelet subband system with the SPIHT image codec is presented. In image denoising, we report the enhancement achieved with the proposed E-spline-based denoising approach compared with B-spline-based denoising and another basic denoising technique. In both applications, E-splines show superior performance as will be illustrated.
