Structural integrity analysis of axially cracked pipelines using conventional and constraint-modified failure assessment diagrams

This study explores applications of the failure assessment diagram (FAD) methodology to predict the failure behaviour for high pressure pipelines with planar defects having different geometries (i.e., crack depth and crack length). One purpose of this investigation is to assess the capability of FAD procedures in integrity analyses of high pressure pipelines with varying crack configurations. Another purpose is to address the effectiveness of constraint-based FADs to predict burst pressure of low-constraint cracked pipelines. Full scale burst testing of end-capped pipe specimens with axial surface flaws provide the data needed to compare the failure predictions derived from the FAD procedures. The analyses reveal that the degree of agreement between predicted pressures and experimentally measured values depends rather markedly on the crack size for the tested pipes. Moreover, the analyses also show a possible weak dependence of the predicted pressures on the constraint-based correction scheme. Overall, the results validate the use of FAD-based methodologies for defect assessments of axially cracked pipelines.     

Reliability assessment of principal point estimates for forensic applications

Although quite recent as a forensic research domain, computer vision analysis of scenes is likely to become more and more important in the near future, thanks to its robustness to image alterations at the signal level, such as image compression and filtering. However, the experimental assessment of vision-based forensic algorithms is a particularly critical task, since they cannot be tested on massive amounts of data, and their performance can heavily depend on user skill. In this paper we investigate on the accuracy and reliability of a vision-based, user-supervised method for the estimation of the camera principal point, to be used in cropping and splicing detection. Results of an extensive experimental evaluation show how the estimation accuracy depends on perspective conditions as well as on the selected image features. Such evidence led us to define a novel visual feature, referred to as Minimum Vanishing Angle, which can be used to assess the reliability of the method.

Geometrically resilient color image zero-watermarking algorithm based on quaternion Exponent moments

Although research on zero-watermarking has made great progress in recent years, most of it has been focused on grayscale images rather than color ones, and cannot resist geometric attacks efficiently. In this paper, we discuss properties of quaternion Exponent moments (QEMs) in detail and propose a robust color image zero-watermarking algorithm which is robust to geometric attacks. We first compute and select robust QEMs of the original color image, and then a binary feature image is constructed using the magnitude of the selected moments. Eventually, a bitwise exclusive-or is applied on the binary feature image and a scrambled binary logo to generate the zero-watermark image. Experimental results show that the proposed zero-watermarking algorithm is robust to both geometric attacks and common image processing attacks effectively. Compared to similar zero-watermarking algorithms and traditional watermarking algorithms based on QEMs, the proposed zero-watermarking algorithm has better performance.     

Geometric MMSE for one-sided and two-sided vector linear predictors: From the finite-length case to the infinite-length case

In the present paper we derive a formula for the geometric minimum mean square error (GMMSE) for one-sided and two-sided finite-length vector linear predictors. This formula is written only in terms of the autocorrelation matrix of the vector process being predicted. We also obtain a formula for the GMMSE for one-sided and two-sided infinite-length vector linear predictors of any wide sense stationary (WSS) vector process. This GMMSE expression for the infinite-length case is derived from the GMMSE expression obtained for the finite-length case.
