Quadruple Difference Expansion-Based Reversible Data Hiding Method for Digital Images

ABSTRACT

Lossless data hiding is a special type of data hiding technique that guarantees not only the secret data but also the ability of cover media to be reconstructed without any distortion. A latest lossless data hiding technique is proposed by Hong Lin Jin's that is based on hiding only one data bit in the spatial domain in gray-level image. However, this method uses double difference expansion to embed bits which results in a small embedding capacity. For this purpose, we propose an improved algorithm with the potential of increasing the payload capacity and maintaining good image quality. The proposed improved algorithm is characterized by two aspects. First, the proposed improved reversible data hiding scheme is enhanced to exhibit data hiding in color palette images. Second, the embedding level is improved by using quadruple difference expansion to guarantee the embedding of 2-bit data into color images. Experiments of the proposed improved method have been conducted over several well-known test images. The results show that the proposed improved method significantly improves the embedding capacity over Hong Lin Jin's scheme by the range of 15–35% for grayscale images and 20–46% for color images while still maintaining the quality of the stego-images.     

Territorial targeting in EU private law

In a series of rulings given in the last few years, the Court of Justice of the European Union (EU) has made use of the concept of targeting by a trader of a particular territorial market as a device for determining the scope of European legislation on private law. The concept is of particular importance in the context of trading activities conducted by means of the Internet, though its significance is not confined to such activities. In particular, the European Court has used the concept of targeting for the purpose of restricting the substantive ambit of intellectual property rights created or harmonised by EU legislation. On the other hand, it has avoided use of the concept of targeting in the context of EU legislation allocating jurisdiction between the courts of the Member States, even in respect of disputes involving intellectual property, except where a legislative text specifically invokes such a concept. The instant paper endeavours to review the position as currently established by the European case-law, and to predict the likely further developments.     

基于六脉波交交变频的闭环调压调速方法研究

针对六脉波交交变频调速技术在高频段存在各频级间转速差较大的问题,提出了一种基于六脉波交交变频的闭环调压调速方法。该方法在2个高频段之间设置多个电压等级,通过改变交交变频输出电压的大小,进行交交变频闭环有级调压调速。仿真和实验结果表明,该方法能够有效利用存储器空间,扩大交交变频调速范围,调速效果较好。     

基于用“动态汛限水位”来利用雨洪资源

雨洪资源的依法利用,早已在国外广泛展开。国内的雨洪资源利用,还面临着重新计算汛限水位高度,然后再依法予以重新确认的难题。唯有如此,才能缓解各级行政部门为了多产粮而＂压＂水库管理部门不顾风险的超汛限蓄水。因此,现阶段用＂动态汛限水位＂来化解矛盾,使水库管理部门从被迫接受潜规则的超汛限蓄水,转变为可以摆上台面的依法科学合理...     

Skitter与Ark探测架构下AS级Internet拓扑分析

选取CAIDA授权的AS级2003年1月—2007年12月的Skitter数据及2008年1月—12月的Ark数据进行层层深入的对比分析,以说明Internet拓扑探测架构的改变对拓扑探测结果的影响。首先统计了Skitter及Ark架构下AS级Internet拓扑的多种宏观特征,分析了Skitter与Ark在各特征值上的异同,进而分析了网络的幂率特征与网络连通性以及拓扑核数的演化,指出幂率性质以及高聚类性质在Internet拓扑中是真实存在的,不随探测方式的改变而消失。

提出一种基于双向二维最大散度差线性判别分析(Bidirectional 2DMSD)的人脸识别方法.该方法通过在水平和垂直2个方向上顺序执行2次二维最大散度差线性判别分析(2DMSD)运算,将判别特征信息压缩到图像的左上角,大大减少了图像特征的维数;选用二维最小近邻分类法进行分类,计算识别率.在ORL和Yale人脸数据库上的实验结果表明,该方法不仅在识别率上优于最大散度差线性判别分析(MSD),而且在与2DMSD具有相同识别率的情况下,特征维数比2DMSD大大减小,降低了计算复杂度,减少了识别时间,提高了人脸识别效率.
