An oblivious fragile watermarking scheme for images utilizing edge transitions in BTC bitmaps

As one of the famous block-based image coding schemes,block truncation coding(BTC) has been also applied in digital watermarking.Previous BTC-based watermarking or hiding schemes usually embed secret data by modifying the BTC encoding stage or BTC-compressed data,obtaining the watermarked image with poorer quality than the BTC-compressed version.This paper presents a new oblivious image watermarking scheme by exploiting BTC bitmaps.Unlike the traditional schemes,our approach does not really perform the BTC compression on images during the embedding process but utilizes the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in each BTC bitmap to guide the watermark embedding and extraction processes.The embedding process starts by partitioning the original cover image into non-overlapping 4×4 blocks and performing BTC on each block to obtain its BTC bitmap.One watermark bit is embedded in each block by modifying at most three pixel values in the block to make sure that the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in the bitmap of the modified block is equal to the embedded watermark bit.In the extraction stage,the suspicious image is first partitioned into non-overlapping 4×4 blocks and BTC is performed on each block to obtain its bitmap.Then,by checking the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in the bitmap,we can extract one watermark bit in each block.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking scheme is fragile to various image processing operations while keeping the transparency very well.     

DPCM编码在图像压缩中的应用

DPCM编码（差分脉冲编码调制）是一种线性预测编码。在二维图像中,由于相邻像素间的相关性很强,所以图像数据的冗余度都很大。对于瞬时斜率比较大和传输速度要求比较高的信号场合,为了使相邻像素间的相关性减小,通常采用DPCM编码技术对图像进行压缩。通过MATLAB仿真,表明DPCM编码能有效地对图像进行压缩。

An FEC scheme combined with weighted scheduling to reduce multicast packet loss in IPTV over PON

Congestion is one of the most important challenges in optical networks. In a Passive Optical Network (PON), the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) is a bottleneck and congestion prone. In this paper, a framework is proposed with Forward Error Correction (FEC) at the IP layer combined with Weighted Round Robin (WRR) at the scheduling level to overcome packet-loss due to congestion in the OLT in order to achieve efficient video multicasting over PON. In the FEC scheme, Reed-Solomon (RS(n,k)) with erasure coding is used, where (n−k) erroneous symbols per n symbol blocks can be corrected. In our framework, an Internet Protocol TeleVision (IPTV) service provider uses the mentioned RS coding and generates redundant packets from regular IPTV packets in such a way that an Optical Network Unit (ONU) can recover lost packets from received packets, thus resulting in a better video quality. Simulation results show that using the proposed framework, an ONU can recover many lost packets and achieve better video quality under different traffic loads for its users. For instance, the proposed method can reduce packet loss rate by almost 55% and 10% under traffic load 0.9, respectively, compared with the Round Robin (RR) and WRR methods under symmetric traffic load. When High Receivers Queue (HRQ) traffic (i.e., traffic received by many users) is twice Low Receivers Queue (LRQ) traffic (i.e., traffic received by a small number of users), this reduction is almost 86% and 30% under traffic load 0.9. Finally, when LRQ traffic is twice HRQ traffic, the reduction in packet loss rate is almost 70% and 91% at traffic load 0.5.     

基于运动信息自适应的快速运动估计算法

UMHexagonS是H.264视频编码标准中所采用的快速整像素运动估计算法,但在许多实时场景的应用中,该算法还明显存在搜索点数过多、搜索速度较慢的缺憾,急需进一步的改进和优化。在UMHexagonS算法的基础上,提出一种基于运动信息自适应的快速运动估计算法。使用动态搜索窗为不同尺寸的块自适应地分配预测搜索窗;根据当前块的运动剧烈程度选择运动类型自适应的搜索方案;通过分析实际运动序列水平、垂直方向的偏向特性依次采用带方向的十字型搜索和自适应的矩形—菱形搜索;利用预测运动矢量的方向信息采用自适应的多层次八边形区域搜索;并依据块的尺寸大小采用自适应的六边形搜索。实验结果表明,本文算法相比于UMHexagonS算法而言,图像的峰值信噪比(PSNR)平均提高了0.0125 dB,同时运动估计时间减少了13%32%,其场景自适应能力和实时性能都得到了很大的增强。
