A Watermarking Based Medical
Image Integrity Control System and

In this paper, we present a medical image integrity verification system to

proposed integrity analysis process is based on non significant region
watermarking with signatures extracted from different pixel blocks of interest

Compressive Framework for

In this paper, we present compressive demosaicing (CD), a framework for

Given sensed samples of an image, CD employs a CS solver to find the sparse

Estimating Information from Image
Colors An Application to Digital
CamerasandNaturalScenes
The colors present in an image of a scene provide information about its
constituent elements. But the amount of information depends on the
imaging conditions and on how information is calculated. This work had
two aims. The first was to derive explicitly estimators of the information
available and the information retrieved from the color values at each
point in imagesofasceneunderdifferentilluminations.

A conventional threshold (k out of n) visual secret sharing scheme

while that of less than k ones cannot. We define and develop general
constructions for threshold multiple-secret visual cryptographic schemes

In this paper, we revisit the HS technique and present a general

embedding functions. Moreover, by taking specific shifting and
embedding functions, we show that several RDH algorithms reported in
theliteraturearespecialcases ofthisgeneralconstruction.

Interactive Segmentation for
Change Detection in Multispectral
Remote-SensingImages
In this letter, we propose to solve the change detection (CD) problem in
multitemporal remote-sensing images using interactive segmentation
methods. The user needs to input markers related to change and no-
change classes in the difference image. Then, the pixels under these
markers are used by the support vector machine classifier to generate a

Intra-and-Inter-Constraint-Based

In this paper, we propose a new intra-and-inter-constraint-based video

picture where multiple regions-of-interest (ROIs) can be adaptively and
simultaneously enhanced, and 2) guarantee the interframe quality consistencies
among video frames. We first analyze features from different ROIs and create a
piecewise tone mapping curve for the entire frame such that the intraframe

LatentFingerprintMatchingUsing

In this paper, we propose a new fingerprint matching algorithm which

both minutiae and orientation field information. To be consistent with
the common practice in latent matching (i.e., only minutiae are marked by

LDFT-Based Watermarking Resilient
toLocalDesynchron+izationAttacks
In this paper, we present a blind image watermarking resynchronization
scheme against local transform attacks. First, we propose a new feature

globally but also locally invariable. Then, the binary space partitioning
(BSP) tree is used to partition the geometrically invariant LDFT space. In
the BSP tree, the location of each pixel is fixed under global transform,

Local Directional Number Pattern for

This paper proposes a novel local feature descriptor, local directional

recognition. LDN encodes the directional information of the face's
textures (i.e., the texture's structure) in a compact way, producing a more
discriminative code than current methods. We compute the structure of
each micro-pattern with the aid of a compass mask that extracts

Noise Reduction Based on Partial-
Reference, Dual-Tree Complex-

images of spray-based methods tend to exhibit noise with unknown
statistical distribution. To avoid inappropriate assumptions on the
statistical characteristics of noise, a different one is made. In fact, the
non-enhanced image is considered to be either free of noise or affected by
non-perceivablelevelsofnoise.

Query-Adaptive Image Search With
HashCodes
This paper introduces an approach that enables query-adaptive ranking
of the returned images with equal Hamming distances to the queries. This
is achieved by firstly offline learning bitwise weights of the hash codes for
a diverse set of predefined semantic concept classes. We formulate the
weight learning process as a quadratic programming problem that
minimizes intra-class distance while preserving inter-class relationship

In this paper, we propose a new reversible watermarking scheme. One
first contribution is a histogram shifting modulation which adaptively
takes care of the local specificities of the image content. By applying it to
the image prediction- errors and by considering their immediate
neighborhood, the scheme we propose nserts ata n textured areas where
othermethodsfailtodoso.

Robust Face Recognition for
Uncontrolled Pose and Illumination
Changes
Face recognition has made significant advances in the last decade, but
obust commercial applications are still lacking. Current
authentication/identification applications are limited to controlled
settings, e.g., limited pose and illumination changes, with the user usually
aware of being screened and collaborating in the process. Among others,
poseandilluminationchangesarelimited.

Secure Watermarking for Multimedia
ContentProtection
The paper illustrates recent results regarding secure watermarking to the
signal processing community, highlighting both benefits and still open
issues. Secure signal processing, by which indicates a set of techniques
able to process sensitive signals that have been obfuscated either by
encryption or by other privacy-preserving primitives, may offer valuable
solutionstotheaforementionedissues.

Visually Lossless Encoding For
JPEG2000
This paper presents a method of encoding color images in a visually lossless
manner using JPEG2000. In order to hide coding artifacts caused by
quantization, visibility thresholds (s) are measured and used for quantization of
subband signals in JPEG2000. The s are experimentally determined from
statistically modeled quantization distortion, which is based on the distribution
of wavelet coefficients and the dead-zone quantizer of JPEG2000.
IMP34
AudioWatermarkingViaEMD In this paper a new adaptive audio watermarking algorithm based on
Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is introduced. The audio signal
is divided into frames and each one is decomposed adaptively, by EMD,
into intrinsic oscillatory components called Intrinsic Mode Functions
(IMFs).

A Novel Attention-Based Key-Frame
DeterminationMethod
In this paper, we proposed a novel attention-based key frame
Determination system by integrating the object-based visual attention
maps and the contextual on-going game outcomes. The decision of the
number of key-frames is determined by utilizing the contextual attention
score
IMP36
A Model-Based Shot Boundary
Detection Technique Using Frame
Transition Parameters
The proposed method is relatively less dependent on user defined
thresholds and is free from sliding window size as widely used by various
schemes found in the literature. Moreover, handling both abrupt and
gradual transitions along with non-transition frames under a single
framework using model guided visual feature is another unique
aspectofthework.

Video based Tracking, Learning, And
Recognition Method For Multiple
MovingObjects
This paper proposes a cost reduction method for the MCMC approach by
taking moves, i.e., birth and death, out of the iteration loop of the
Markov chain when different moving objects interact. For stable and
robust tracking, an ellipse model with stochastic model parameters is
used. Moreover, our HMM method integrates several different modules in
ordertocopewith multiplediscontinuoustrajectories.

Interference alignment (IA) has been recognized as a promising technique
to obtain large multiplexing gain in multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) interference channels. Most existing IA schemes require global
channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter to design precoding
vectors and, thus, result in significant capacity overhead in the feedback
link.
