This document proposes an image steganography technique to hide audio signals in images using wavelet transforms. It discusses how discrete wavelet transform (DWT) can be used to decompose images and audio into different frequency subbands. The technique encrypts an audio file (MP3 or WAV) and hides it in the wavelet coefficients of an image. When extracted, the secret audio signal is decrypted. The quality of the stego image and extracted audio is measured using metrics like PSNR, SSIM, SNR, and SPCC. The results show good quality for the steganography technique and that it can withstand various attacks.
An Efficient Frame Embedding Using Haar Wavelet Coefficients And Orthogonal C...IJERA Editor
Digital media, applications, copyright defense, and multimedia security have become a vital aspect of our daily life. Digital watermarking is a technology used for the copyright security of digital applications. In this work we have dealt with a process able to mark digital pictures with a visible and semi invisible hided information, called watermark. This process may be the basis of a complete copyright protection system. Watermarking is implemented here using Haar Wavelet Coefficients and Principal Component analysis. Experimental results show high imperceptibility where there is no noticeable difference between the watermarked video frames and the original frame in case of invisible watermarking, vice-versa for semi visible implementation. The watermark is embedded in lower frequency band of Wavelet Transformed cover image. The combination of the two transform algorithm has been found to improve performance of the watermark algorithm. The robustness of the watermarking scheme is analyzed by means of two distinct performance measures viz. Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Normalized Coefficient (NC).
A NEW ALGORITHM FOR DATA HIDING USING OPAP AND MULTIPLE KEYSEditor IJMTER
Steganography gained significance in the past few years due to the increasing need
for providing secrecy in an open environment like the internet. With almost anyone can
observe the communicated data all around, steganography attempts to hide the very existence
of the message and make communication undetectable. In this paper we propose a modern
technique with Integer Wavelet transform (IWT) and double key to accomplish high hiding
capability, high security and good visual quality. Here cover image is transformed in to
wavelet transform co-efficients and the coefficients are selected randomly by using Key-2 for
embedding the data. Key-1 is used to calculate the number of bits to be embedded in the
randomly selected coefficients. Finally the Optimum Pixel Adjustment Process(OPAP) is
applied to the stego image to reduce the data embedding error.
A Novel Technique for Image Steganography Based on DWT and Huffman EncodingCSCJournals
This document presents a novel image steganography technique based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Huffman encoding. The technique embeds a secret image into a cover image in the frequency domain after applying DWT. It first Huffman encodes the secret image, then embeds the encoded bits in the high frequency DWT coefficients of the cover image. Experimental results show the technique achieves a high embedding capacity while maintaining a good peak signal-to-noise ratio between the cover and stego images, providing both invisibility and security as the secret image cannot be extracted without the Huffman table. Compared to an existing DWT-based method, the proposed technique provides better image quality for the same embedding capacity.

The technique was tested on standard video sequences and was found to introduce minimal distortion and overhead.
Steganography using Coefficient Replacement and Adaptive Scaling based on DTCWTCSCJournals
Steganography is an authenticated technique for maintaining secrecy of embedded data. Steganography provides hardness of detecting the hidden data and has a potential capacity to hide the existence of confidential data. In this paper, we propose a novel steganography using coefficient replacement and adaptive scaling based on Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) technique. The DTCWT and LWT 2 is applied on cover image and payload respectively to convert spatial domain into transform domain. The HH sub band coefficients of cover image are replaced by the LL sub band coefficients of payload to generate intermediate stego object and the adaptive scaling factor is used to scale down intermediate stego object coefficient values to generate final stego object. The adaptive scaling factor is determined based on entropy of cover image. The security and the capacity of the proposed method are high compared to the existing algorithms.

The method embeds a compressed payload image within a cover image using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for image compression and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to select pixel locations in the cover image. Five test cases of the approach are described and evaluated. In the first case, DWT is applied to the payload image to get 32x32 approximate coefficients, DFT is applied to the cover image to select pixel locations below a threshold, and the coefficients replace the selected pixel values to create the stego-image.

Protection of Multispectral Images using Watermarking and EncryptionIRJET Journal
This document proposes a scheme that combines watermarking and encryption to protect multispectral images. It uses a wavelet-based algorithm for watermark embedding and extraction. For encryption, it uses a multiplicative-transposition cipher that multiplies rows and columns by secret keys and shifts rows and columns. Experimental results show the scheme provides invisibility of the watermark, robustness against attacks, a large data hiding capacity, and strong robustness against compression and noise.
In the recent years, large scale information transfer by remote computing and the development
of massive storage and retrieval systems have witnessed a tremendous growth. To cope up with the
growth in the size of databases, additional storage devices need to be installed and the modems and
multiplexers have to be continuously upgraded in order to permit large amounts of data transfer between
computers and remote terminals. This leads to an increase in the cost as well as equipment. One solution
to these problems is “COMPRESSION” where the database and the transmission sequence can be
encoded efficiently. In this we investigated for optimum wavelet, optimum level, and optimum scaling
factor.

This paper presents compressive sensing technique used for speech reconstruction using linear predictive coding because the
speech is more sparse in LPC. DCT of a speech is taken and the DCT points of sparse speech are thrown away arbitrarily.
This is achieved by making some point in DCT domain to be zero by multiplying with mask functions. From the incomplete
points in DCT domain, the original speech is reconstructed using compressive sensing and the tool used is Gradient
Projection for Sparse Reconstruction. The performance of the result is compared with direct IDCT subjectively. The
experiment is done and it is observed that the performance is better for compressive sensing than the DCT.

A NOVEL IMAGE STEGANOGRAPHY APPROACH USING MULTI-LAYERS DCT FEATURES BASED ON...ijma
Steganography is the science of hidden data in the cover image without any updating of the cover image.
The recent research of the steganography is significantly used to hide large amount of information within
an image and/or audio files. This paper proposed a new novel approach for hiding the data of secret image
using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) features based on linear Support Vector Machine (SVM)
classifier. The DCT features are used to decrease the image redundant information. Moreover, DCT is
used to embed the secrete message based on the least significant bits of the RGB. Each bit in the cover
image is changed only to the extent that is not seen by the eyes of human. The SVM used as a classifier to
speed up the hiding process via the DCT features. The proposed method is implemented and the results
show significant improvements. In addition, the performance analysis is calculated based on the
parameters MSE, PSNR, NC, processing time, capacity, and robustness.
A Review of Comparison Techniques of Image SteganographyIOSR Journals
This document reviews and compares three common techniques for hiding information in digital images: Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) steganography, and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) steganography. LSB is implemented in the spatial domain by replacing the least significant bits of cover image pixels with payload bits. DCT and DWT are implemented in the frequency domain by transforming the cover image and embedding payload bits in the transformed coefficients. The document evaluates and compares the performance of these three techniques based on metrics like mean squared error, peak signal-to-noise ratio, embedding capacity, and robustness.
This document discusses an enhanced technique for secure and reliable watermarking using Modified Haar Wavelet Transform (MFHWT). The proposed technique embeds a watermark into an original image using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and wavelet packet transform (WPT) according to the size of the watermark. MFHWT is a memory efficient, fast, and simple transform. The watermarking process involves embedding and extraction processes. Various watermarking techniques in different transform domains are discussed, including DWT and WPT. The proposed algorithm uses MFHWT for decomposition and reconstruction. Image quality is measured using metrics like MSE and PSNR, with higher PSNR indicating better quality. The technique achieves robustness

This document discusses the use of deep learning techniques in natural language processing. It begins by defining deep learning as a set of machine learning algorithms that use multiple layered models like neural networks to learn inputs. Deep learning aims to process complex data like text in a way that mimics the human brain. The document then discusses several deep learning methods that have been applied to natural language processing tasks, including stacked autoencoders, deep Boltzmann machines, and transfer learning. It provides examples of how these techniques are used to perform tasks like object recognition from text and speech recognition.
Information Hiding using LSB Technique based on Developed PSO Algorithm IJECEIAES
Generally, The sending process of secret information via the transmission channel or any carrier medium is not secured. For this reason, the techniques of information hiding are needed. Therefore, steganography must take place before transmission. To embed a secret message at optimal positions of the cover image under spatial domain, using the developed particle swarm optimization algorithm (Dev.-PSO) to do that purpose in this paper based on Least Significant Bits (LSB) using LSB substitution. The main aim of (Dev. -PSO) algorithm is determining an optimal paths to reach a required goals in the specified search space based on disposal of them, using (Dev.-PSO) algorithm produces the paths of a required goals with most efficient and speed. An agents population is used in determining process of a required goals at search space for solving of problem. The (Dev.-PSO) algorithm is applied to different images; the number of an image which used in the experiments in this paper is three. For all used images, the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value is computed. Finally, the PSNR value of the stego-A that obtained from blue sub-band colo is equal (44.87) dB, while the stego-B is equal (44.45) dB, and the PSNR value for the stego-C is (43.97)dB, while the vlue of MSE that obtained from the same color subbans is (0.00989), stego-B equal to (0.01869), and stego-C is (0.02041). Furthermore, our proposed method has ability to survive the quality for the stego image befor and after hiding stage or under intended attack that used in the existing paper such as Gaussian noise, and salt & pepper noise.
This document discusses deep learning and various deep learning techniques such as backpropagation, autoencoders, restricted Boltzmann machines, and dropout. It provides an overview of these concepts and algorithms as well as discussing implementations in Python and Theano. It also proposes future work applying these techniques to tasks like defect classification, speech recognition, and independent component analysis.
A New Technique to Digital Image Watermarking Using DWT for Real Time Applica...IJERA Editor
Digital watermarking is an essential technique to add hidden copyright notices or secret messages to digital audio, image, or image forms. In this paper we introduce a new approach for digital image watermarking for real time applications. We have successfully implemented the digital watermarking technique on digital images based on 2-level Discrete Wavelet Transform and compared the performance of the proposed method with Level-1 and Level-2 and Level-3 Discrete Wavelet Transform using the parameter peak signal to noise ratio. To make the watermark robust and to preserve visual significant information a 2-Level Discrete wavelet transform used as transformation domain for both secret image and original image. The watermark is embedded in the original image using Alpha blending technique and implemented using Matlab Simulink.

1) Performing a two-level discrete wavelet transform on the QR code image to create sub-bands
2) Converting the watermark image (e.g. a logo) to a binary sequence and generating a pseudo-random sequence with a secret key
3) Embedding the watermark bits into one of the high frequency sub-bands by modifying pixel values
4) Performing inverse discrete wavelet transform to get the watermarked QR code image
The watermark can then be extracted without the original QR code by estimating the original pixel values and
This document discusses performance of matching algorithms for signal approximation. It begins by introducing matching pursuit algorithms like Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and Stagewise Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (StOMP) which are greedy algorithms that approximate sparse signals. It then describes the Non-Negative Least Squares algorithm which solves non-negative least squares problems. Finally, it discusses Extranious Equivalent Detection (EED), a modification of OED that incorporates non-negativity of representations by using a non-negative optimization technique instead of orthogonal projection.

This paper presents SimCLR: a simple framework for contrastive learning of visual representations. We simplify recently proposed contrastive self-supervised learning algorithms without requiring specialized architectures or a memory bank. In order to understand what enables the contrastive prediction tasks to learn useful representations, we systematically study the major components of our framework. We show that (1) composition of data augmentations plays a critical role in defining effective predictive tasks, (2) introducing a learnable nonlinear transformation between the representation and the contrastive loss substantially improves the quality of the learned representations, and (3) contrastive learning benefits from larger batch sizes and more training steps compared to supervised learning. By combining these findings, we are able to considerably outperform previous methods for self-supervised and semi-supervised learning on ImageNet. A linear classifier trained on self-supervised representations learned by SimCLR achieves 76.5% top-1 accuracy, which is a 7% relative improvement over previous state-of-the-art, matching the performance of a supervised ResNet-50. When fine-tuned on only 1% of the labels, we achieve 85.8% top-5 accuracy, outperforming AlexNet with 100X fewer labels.

A Secure Color Image Steganography in Transform Domain ijcisjournal
Steganography is the art and science of covert communication. The secret information can be concealed in content such as image, audio, or video. This paper provides a novel image steganography technique to hide both image and key in color cover image using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT). There is no visual difference between the stego image and the cover image. The extracted image is also similar to the secret image. This is proved by the high PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), value for both stego and extracted secret image. The results are compared with the results of similar techniques and it is found that the proposed technique is simple and gives better PSNR values than others.

the wavelet domain into the cover image. Experimental results denote the feasibility of the proposed method as
the stego images has high PSNR and subjective quality which declare that the algorithm gains a good

an image and/or audio files. This paper proposed a new novel approach for hiding the data of secret image
using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) features based on linear Support Vector Machine (SVM)
classifier. The DCT features are used to decrease the image redundant information. Moreover, DCT is
used to embed the secrete message based on the least significant bits of the RGB. Each bit in the cover
image is changed only to the extent that is not seen by the eyes of human. The SVM used as a classifier to
speed up the hiding process via the DCT features. The proposed method is implemented and the results
show significant improvements. In addition, the performance analysis is calculated based on the
parameters MSE, PSNR, NC, processing time, capacity, and robustness.
A Review of Comparison Techniques of Image SteganographyIOSR Journals
This document reviews and compares three common techniques for hiding information in digital images: Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) steganography, and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) steganography. LSB is implemented in the spatial domain by replacing the least significant bits of cover image pixels with payload bits. DCT and DWT are implemented in the frequency domain by transforming the cover image and embedding payload bits in the transformed coefficients. The document evaluates and compares the performance of these three techniques based on metrics like mean squared error, peak signal-to-noise ratio, embedding capacity, and robustness.
This document discusses an enhanced technique for secure and reliable watermarking using Modified Haar Wavelet Transform (MFHWT).

Various watermarking techniques in different transform domains are discussed, including DWT and WPT. The proposed algorithm uses MFHWT for decomposition and reconstruction. Image quality is measured using metrics like MSE and PSNR, with higher PSNR indicating better quality. The technique achieves robustness

Information Hiding using LSB Technique based on Developed PSO Algorithm IJECEIAES
Generally, The sending process of secret information via the transmission channel or any carrier medium is not secured. For this reason, the techniques of information hiding are needed. Therefore, steganography must take place before transmission. To embed a secret message at optimal positions of the cover image under spatial domain, using the developed particle swarm optimization algorithm (Dev.-PSO) to do that purpose in this paper based on Least Significant Bits (LSB) using LSB substitution. The main aim of (Dev. -PSO) algorithm is determining an optimal paths to reach a required goals in the specified search space based on disposal of them, using (Dev.-PSO) algorithm produces the paths of a required goals with most efficient and speed. An agents population is used in determining process of a required goals at search space for solving of problem. The (Dev.-PSO) algorithm is applied to different images; the number of an image which used in the experiments in this paper is three. For all used images, the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value is computed. Finally, the PSNR value of the stego-A that obtained from blue sub-band colo is equal (44.87) dB, while the stego-B is equal (44.45) dB, and the PSNR value for the stego-C is (43.97)dB, while the vlue of MSE that obtained from the same color subbans is (0.00989), stego-B equal to (0.01869), and stego-C is (0.02041). Furthermore, our proposed method has ability to survive the quality for the stego image befor and after hiding stage or under intended attack that used in the existing paper such as Gaussian noise, and salt & pepper noise.

This paper presents SimCLR: a simple framework for contrastive learning of visual representations. We simplify recently proposed contrastive self-supervised learning algorithms without requiring specialized architectures or a memory bank. In order to understand what enables the contrastive prediction tasks to learn useful representations, we systematically study the major components of our framework. We show that (1) composition of data augmentations plays a critical role in defining effective predictive tasks, (2) introducing a learnable nonlinear transformation between the representation and the contrastive loss substantially improves the quality of the learned representations, and (3) contrastive learning benefits from larger batch sizes and more training steps compared to supervised learning. By combining these findings, we are able to considerably outperform previous methods for self-supervised and semi-supervised learning on ImageNet. A linear classifier trained on self-supervised representations learned by SimCLR achieves 76.5% top-1 accuracy, which is a 7% relative improvement over previous state-of-the-art, matching the performance of a supervised ResNet-50. When fine-tuned on only 1% of the labels, we achieve 85.8% top-5 accuracy, outperforming AlexNet with 100X fewer labels.

DATA HIDING IN AUDIO SIGNALS USING WAVELET TRANSFORM WITH ENHANCED SECURITYcscpconf
Rapid increase in data transmission over internet results in emphasis on information security. Audio steganography is used for secure transmission of secret data with audio signal as the carrier. In the proposed method, cover audio file is transformed from space domain to wavelet domain using lifting scheme, leading to secure data hiding. Text message is encrypted using
dynamic encryption algorithm. Cipher text is then hidden in wavelet coefficients of cover audio signal. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Squared Pearson Correlation Coefficient (SPCC)
values are computed to judge the quality of the stego audio signal. Results show that stego audio signal is perceptually indistinguishable from the cover audio signal. Stego audio signal is robust even in presence of external noise. Proposed method provides secure and least error data extraction

This document proposes an adaptive steganography technique for hiding secret data in digital images. The technique uses variable bit length embedding based on wavelet coefficients of the cover image. A logistic map is used to generate a secret key, which determines the RGB color planes and blocks used for data hiding. Wavelet coefficients are classified into ranges, and the number of bits hidden corresponds to the coefficient value range. Extraction involves selecting the same coefficients based on the key and calculating the hidden bits. The technique aims to improve security, capacity and imperceptibility compared to existing constant bit length methods. Evaluation shows the proposed method provides good security since variable bits are hidden randomly using the secret key.

An ideal steganographic scheme in networks using twisted payloadeSAT Journals
Abstract With the rapid development of network technology, information security has become a mounting problem. Steganography involves hiding information in a cover media, in such a way that the cover media is not supposed to have any confidential message for its unintentional addressee In this paper, an ideal steganographic scheme in networks is proposed using twisted payload. The confidential image values are twisted by using scrambling techiques.The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on cover image and Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) is applied to the scrambled confidential image. Merge operation is done on both images and Inverse DWT is computed on the same to get the stego image. The information hiding algorithm is the reverse process of the extracting algorithm. After this an ideal steganographic scheme is applied which generates a stego image which is immune against conventional attack and performs good perceptibility compared to other steganographic approaches.

Iaetsd design of image steganography using haar dwtIaetsd Iaetsd
This document proposes a design for image steganography using Haar discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and average alpha blending techniques. The Haar DWT is used to decompose images into four frequency bands (LL, LH, HL, HH) because it requires less hardware than other transforms like DCT or DFT. The LL bands of the cover and secret images are then blended using average alpha blending according to an alpha value, which represents the percentage of pixel values considered. This blending embeds the secret image into the cover image in the frequency domain. The design aims to balance imperceptibility, quality, and capacity while reducing hardware requirements compared to other transforms.
Steganography is the art and science of hiding the
existence of information. In computer-based steganography,
several forms of digital media may be used as “cover” for hidden
information. Photos, documents, web pages and even MP3 music
files may all serve as innocuous looking hosts for secret messages.
In this paper, we generate a ECG signal of patient and hide this

Contourlet transform. To hide the data in image Singular Value
Decomposition (SVD) is used. The contourlet transform provides
higher correlation coefficient. The results are comparing with the
wavelet transform. The proposed system provides a better PSNR
value than the wavelet transform.

First, the files are fetched, then a two-dimensional matrix of the double data type is created to maintain the values that correspond to the sample range; these values are placed in a
column matrix then they are kept in the two dimensional-matrix already created. The double 2D matrix will be encrypted using matrix multiplication with a private double matrix key [1]. Having been encrypted, the data will be sent in wave file format and decrypted using the same 2D matrix private key.

The study focuses on manufacturing pavers and bricks using recycled plastic and partially replacing concrete with plastic alternatives. Initial results found that pavers and bricks made from recycled plastic demonstrate comparable strength and durability to traditional materials while providing environmental and cost benefits. Additionally, preliminary research indicates incorporating plastic waste as a partial concrete replacement significantly reduces construction costs without compromising structural integrity. The outcomes suggest adopting plastic waste in construction can address plastic pollution while optimizing costs, promoting more sustainable building practices.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
The CBC machine is a common diagnostic tool used by doctors to measure a patient's red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count. The machine uses a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then placed into special tubes and analyzed. The results of the analysis are then displayed on a screen for the doctor to review. The CBC machine is an important tool for diagnosing various conditions, such as anemia, infection and leukemia. It can also help to monitor a patient's response to treatment.
