The singular value decomposition (SVD) mathematical technique is utilized, in this paper, for audio watermarking in time and
transform domains. Firstly, the audio signal in time or an appropriate transform domain is transformed to a 2-D format. The
SVD algorithm is applied on this 2-D matrix, and an image watermark is added to the matrix of singular values (SVs) with a
small weight, to guarantee the possible extraction of the watermark without introducing harmful distortions to the audio signal.
The transformation of the audio signal between the 1-D and 2-D formats is performed in the well-known lexicographic ordering
method used in image processing. A comparison study is presented in the paper between the time and transform domains as possible
hosting media for watermark embedding. Experimental results are in favor of watermark embedding in the time domain if the
distortion level in the audio signal is to be kept as low as possible with a high detection probability. The proposed algorithm
is utilized also for embedding chaotic encrypted watermarks to increase the level of security. Experimental results show that
watermarks embedded with the proposed algorithm can survive several attacks. A segment-by-segment implementation of the proposed
SVD audio watermarking algorithm is also presented to enhance the detectability of the watermark in the presence of severe
attacks. 相似文献
We perceive big data with massive datasets of complex and variegated structures in the modern era. Such attributes formulate hindrances while analyzing and storing the data to generate apt aftermaths. Privacy and security are the colossal perturb in the domain space of extensive data analysis. In this paper, our foremost priority is the computing technologies that focus on big data, IoT (Internet of Things), Cloud Computing, Blockchain, and fog computing. Among these, Cloud Computing follows the role of providing on-demand services to their customers by optimizing the cost factor. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud are the major cloud providers today. Fog computing offers new insights into the extension of cloud computing systems by procuring services to the edges of the network. In collaboration with multiple technologies, the Internet of Things takes this into effect, which solves the labyrinth of dealing with advanced services considering its significance in varied application domains. The Blockchain is a dataset that entertains many applications ranging from the fields of crypto-currency to smart contracts. The prospect of this research paper is to present the critical analysis and review it under the umbrella of existing extensive data systems. In this paper, we attend to critics' reviews and address the existing threats to the security of extensive data systems. Moreover, we scrutinize the security attacks on computing systems based upon Cloud, Blockchain, IoT, and fog. This paper lucidly illustrates the different threat behaviour and their impacts on complementary computational technologies. The authors have mooted a precise analysis of cloud-based technologies and discussed their defense mechanism and the security issues of mobile healthcare.
This work aims at demonstrating the interest of a new methodology for the design and optimization of composite materials and structures. Coupling reliability methods and homogenization techniques allow the consideration of probabilistic design variables at different scales. The main advantage of such an original micromechanics-based approach is to extend the scope of solutions for engineering composite materials to reach or to respect a given reliability level. This approach is illustrated on a civil engineering case including reinforced fiber composites. Modifications of microstructural components properties, manufacturing process, and geometry are investigated to provide new alternatives for design and guidelines for quality control. 相似文献
Medical image fusion is considered the best method for obtaining one image with rich details for efficient medical diagnosis and therapy. Deep learning provides a high performance for several medical image analysis applications. This paper proposes a deep learning model for the medical image fusion process. This model depends on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The basic idea of the proposed model is to extract features from both CT and MR images. Then, an additional process is executed on the extracted features. After that, the fused feature map is reconstructed to obtain the resulting fused image. Finally, the quality of the resulting fused image is enhanced by various enhancement techniques such as Histogram Matching (HM), Histogram Equalization (HE), fuzzy technique, fuzzy type Π, and Contrast Limited Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). The performance of the proposed fusion-based CNN model is measured by various metrics of the fusion and enhancement quality. Different realistic datasets of different modalities and diseases are tested and implemented. Also, real datasets are tested in the simulation analysis. 相似文献
This paper proposes to decompose the nonlinear dynamic of a chaotic system with Chebyshev polynomials to improve performances
of its estimator. More widely than synchronization of chaotic systems, this algorithm is compared to other nonlinear stochastic
estimator such as Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). Chebyshev polynomials orthogonality properties
is used to fit a polynomial to a nonlinear function. This polynomial is then used in an Exact Polynomial Kalman Filter (ExPKF)
to run real time state estimation. The ExPKF offers mean square error optimality because it can estimate exact statistics
of transformed variables through the polynomial function. Analytical expressions of those statistics are derived so as to
lower ExPKF algorithm computation complexity and allow real time applications. Simulations under the Additive White Gaussian
Noise (AWGN) hypothesis, show relevant performances of this algorithm compared to classical nonlinear estimators. 相似文献
Many application domains are increasingly leveraging service-oriented architecture (SOA) techniques to facilitate rapid system
deployment. Many of these applications are time-critical and, hence, real-time assurance is an essential step in the service
composition process. However, there are gaps in existing service composition techniques for real-time systems. First, admission
control is an essential technique to assure the time bound for service execution, but most of the service composition techniques
for real-time systems do not take admission control into account. A service may be selected for a workflow during the composition
phase, but then during the grounding phase, the concrete service may not be able to admit the workload. Thus, the entire composition
process may have to be repeated. Second, communication time is an important factor in real-time SOA, but most of the existing
works do not consider how to obtain the communication latencies between services during the composition phase. It is clear
that maintaining a full table of communication latencies for all pairs of services is infeasible. Obtaining communication
latencies between candidate services during the composition phase can also be costly, since many candidate services may not
be used for grounding. Thus, some mechanism is needed for estimating the communication latency for composite services. In
this paper, we propose a three-phase composition approach to address the above issues. In this approach, we first use a highly
efficient but moderately accurate algorithm to eliminate most of the candidate compositions based on estimated communication
latencies and assured service response latency. Then, a more accurate timing prediction is performed on a small number of
selected compositions in the second phase based on confirmed admission and actual communication latency. In the third phase,
specific concrete services are selected for grounding, and admissions are actually performed. The approach is scalable and
can effectively achieve service composition for satisfying real-time requirements. Experimental studies show that the three-phase
approach does improve the effectiveness and time for service composition in SOA real-time systems. In order to support the
new composition approach, it is necessary to effectively specify the needed information. In this paper, we also present the
specification model for timing-related information and the extension of OWL-S to support this specification model. 相似文献
Volatility is a key variable in option pricing, trading, and hedging strategies. The purpose of this article is to improve the accuracy of forecasting implied volatility using an extension of genetic programming (GP) by means of dynamic training‐subset selection methods. These methods manipulate the training data in order to improve the out‐of‐sample patterns fitting. When applied with the static subset selection method using a single training data sample, GP could generate forecasting models, which are not adapted to some out‐of‐sample fitness cases. In order to improve the predictive accuracy of generated GP patterns, dynamic subset selection methods are introduced to the GP algorithm allowing a regular change of the training sample during evolution. Four dynamic training‐subset selection methods are proposed based on random, sequential, or adaptive subset selection. The latest approach uses an adaptive subset weight measuring the sample difficulty according to the fitness cases' errors. Using real data from S&P500 index options, these techniques are compared with the static subset selection method. Based on mean squared error total and percentage of non‐fitted observations, results show that the dynamic approach improves the forecasting performance of the generated GP models, especially those obtained from the adaptive‐random training‐subset selection method applied to the whole set of training samples. 相似文献
In this paper we propose a compact split step Padé scheme (CSSPS) to solve the scalar higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (HNLS) with higher-order linear and nonlinear effects such as the third and fourth order dispersion effects, Kerr dispersion, stimulated Raman scattering and power law nonlinearity. The stability of this method has been proved. It has been shown as well that the CSSPS method gives the same results as classical numerical methods like the split step Fourier method and Crank–Nicholson (CN) method but it presents many advantages over theme. It is more efficient. This proposed scheme is well suited to higher-order dispersion effects and readily generalized for nonlinear and dispersion managed fibers. We tested this scheme for the case of the quintic nonlinearity and confirmed that this effect has no significant role on the propagation of single solitons. 相似文献
