As the name indicates, multivariate analysis comprises a set of techniques dedicated to the analysis of data sets with more than one variable. Several of these techniques were developed recently in part because they require the computational capabilities of modern computers. Also, because most of them are recent, these techniques are not always unified in their presentation, and the choice of t...

We present techniques for steganalysis of images that have been potentially subjected to steganographic algorithms, both within the passive warden and active warden frameworks. Our hypothesis is that steganographic schemes leave statistical evidence that can be exploited for detection with the aid of image quality features and multivariate regression analysis. To this effect image quality metri...

to investigate the effect of preprocessing techniques including contrast enhancement and illumination correction on retinal imagequality, a comparative study was carried out. we studied and implemented a few illumination correction and contrast enhancementtechniques on color retinal images to find out the best technique for optimum image enhancement. to compare and choose thebest illumination c...
