A New Content-Based Digital Audio Watermarking Algorithm for Copyright Protection

Digital audio watermarking embeds inaudible information into digital audio data for the purposes of copyright protection, ownership verification, coven communication, and/or auxiliary data carrying. In this paper, we present a novel watermarking scheme to embed a meaningful gray image into digital audio by quantizing the wavelet coefficients （using integer lifting wavelet transform） of audio samples. Our audiodependent watermarking procedure directly exploits temporal and frequency perceptual masking of the human auditory system （HAS） to guarantee that the embedded watermark image is inaudible and robust. The watermark is constructed by utilizing still image compression technique, breaking each audio clip into smaller segments, selecting the perceptually significant audio segments to wavelet transform, and quantizing the perceptually significant wavelet coefficients. The proposed watermarking algorithm can extract the watermark image without the help from the original digital audio signals. We also demonstrate the robustness of that watermarking procedure to audio degradations and distortions, e.g., those that result from noise adding, MPEG compression, low pass filtering, resampling, and requantization.     

Wavelet Based Image Authentication and Recovery

In this paper, we propose a secure semi-fragile watermarking technique based on integer wavelet transform with a choice of two watermarks to be embedded. A self-recovering algorithm is employed, that hides the image digest into some wavelet subbands for detecting possible illicit object manipulation undergone in the image. The semi-fragility makes the scheme tolerant against JPEG lossy compression with the quality factor as low as 70%, and locates the tampered area accurately. In addition, the system ensures more security because the embedded watermarks are protected with private keys. The computational complexity is reduced by using parameterized integer wavelet transform. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme guarantees safety of a watermark, recovery of image and localization of tampered area.     

Super-Resolution image Reconstruction Based on Iteration and Wavelet Transform

In this paper, we provide a super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm based on wavelet transform. Wavelet transform can separate high frequency and low frequency information of image. The more high frequency information can be obtained by using wavelet transform and the technique of image fusion. Meanwhile, reconstructed super-resolution image is produced by the iterative method. In iteration process, noise of image can be suppressed by applying method of wavelet threshold de-noising. The experiment results show that the algorithm can overcome the disadvantage of the classical interpolation method and effectively improve the resolution and PSNR of the image.

Multi-spectral image fusion method based on two channels non-separable wavelets

A construction method of two channels non-separable wavelets filter bank which dilation matrix is [1, 1; 1,-1] and its application in the fusion of multi-spectral image are presented. Many 4×4 filter banks are designed. The multi-spectral image fusion algorithm based on this kind of wavelet is proposed. Using this filter bank, multi-resolution wavelet decomposition of the intensity of multi-spectral image and panchromatic image is performed, and the two low-frequency components of the intensity and the panchromatic image are merged by using a tradeoff parameter. The experiment results show that this method is good in the preservation of spectral quality and high spatial resolution information. Its performance in preserving spectral quality and high spatial information is better than the fusion method based on DWFT and IHS. When the parameter t is closed to 1, the fused image can obtain rich spectral information from the original MS image. The amount of computation reduced to only half of the fusion method based on four channels wavelet transform.

基于期望值最大算法和离散小波框架的图像融合

The discrete wavelet transform has become an attractive tool for fusing multisensor images. This paper investigates the discrete wavelet frame transform. A major advantage of this method over discrete wavelet transform is aliasing free and translation invariant. The discrete wavelet frame (DWF) transform is used to decompose the registered images into multiscale representation with the low frequency and the high frequency bands. The low frequency band is normalized and fused by using the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. The informative importance measure is applied to the high frequency band. The final fused image is obtained by taking the inverse transform on the composite coefficient representations. Experiments show that the proposed method is more effective than conventional image fusion methods.     

A feature-based robust digital image watermarking against desynchronization attacks

In this paper,a new content-based image watermarking scheme is proposed.The Harris-Laplace detector is adopted to extract feature points,which can survive a variety of attacks.The local characteristic regions (LCRs) are adaptively constructed based on scale-space theory.Then,the LCRs are mapped to geometrically invariant space by using image normalization technique.Finally, several copies of the digital watermark are embedded into the nonoverlapped LCRs by quantizing the magnitude vectors of discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients.By binding a watermark with LCR,resilience against desynchronization attacks can be readily obtained.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is invisible and robust against various attacks which includes common signals processing and desynchronization attacks.     

Novel infrared and visible image fusion method based on independent component analysis

The goal of infrared （IR） and visible image fu- sion is for the fused image to contain IR object features from the IR image and retain the visual details provided by the visible image. The disadvantage of traditional fusion method based on independent component analysis （ICA） is that the primary feature information that describes the IR objects and the secondary feature information in the IR image are fused into the fused image. Secondary feature information can de- press the visual effect of the fused image. A novel ICA-based IR and visible image fusion scheme is proposed in this paper. ICA is employed to extract features from the infrared image, and then the primary and secondary features are distinguished by the kurtosis information of the ICA base coefficients. The secondary features of the IR image are discarded during fu- sion. The fused image is obtained by fusing primary features into the visible image. Experimental results show that the pro- posed method can provide better perception effect.     

一种基于自适应阈值的图像去噪新方法

Selecting threshold is the most important in threshold-based nonlinear filtering by wavelet transform. In this paper, a novel adaptive threshold is proposed by minimizing a Bayesian risk(It is adaptive to subband because it depends on data-driven estimates of the parameters). Combining this thresholding method with Wiener fitting can re-sult a new denoising method. Expermental results show that the proposed method indeed remove noise significantly and retaining most image edges. The results compare favorably with the reported results in the recent denoising liter-ature.
