This paper investigates the appearance manifold of facial expression: embedding image sequences of facial expression from the high dimensional appearance feature space to a low dimensional manifold. We explore Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) to learn expression manifolds from two kinds of feature space: raw image data and Local Binary Patterns (LBP). For manifolds of different subjects, w...

This paper proposes a statistical steganalysis method for quantization index modulation (QIM) based steganography. We have shown that, in general, plain-quantization (quantization without message embedding) reduces local-randomness (or increases local-correlation) in the resulting quantized-object and QIM-stego exhibits higher level of local-randomness than the corresponding quantized cover. Th...

We present the first study detailing the capture and aggregation of hyperthermal CO2 molecules by amorphous solid water (ASW) under ultra-high vacuum conditions at 125 K, near the amorphous/crystalline transition. Using time-resolved in situ reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), CO2 molecules with translational energies above 3.0 eV are observed to directly embed underneath the v...

In this paper a reversible watermarking method based on generalized integer transform of a vector with n pixels is presented. This method was firstly introduced by Alattar (called Alattar’s method) has been concerned and expanded because it can achieve high embedding capacity without losing the implication of the cover. According to Alattar’s method, n-1 bits could be embedded into a vector wit...

A digital image watermarking scheme must be robust against a variety of possible attacks. In the proposed approach, a new rotation and scaling invariant image watermarking scheme is proposed based on rotation invariant feature and image normalization. The rotation invariant features are extracted from the segmented areas and are selected as reference points. Sub-regions centered at the feature ...

In this paper, we study subspace embedding problem and obtain the following results: 1. We extend the results of approximate matrix multiplication from the Frobenius norm to the spectral norm. Assume matrices A and B both have at most r stable rank and r̃ rank, respectively. Let S be a subspace embedding matrix with l rows which depends on stable rank, then with high probability, we have ‖ASSB−A...

‎for a given measure space $(x,{mathscr b},mu)$ we construct all measure spaces $(y,{mathscr c},lambda)$ in which $(x,{mathscr b},mu)$ is embeddable‎. ‎the construction is modeled on the ultrafilter construction of the stone--v{c}ech compactification of a completely regular topological space‎. ‎under certain conditions the construction simplifies‎. ‎examples are given when this simplification o...

background and objective: formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are a valuable source of dna for molecular studies. we designed and optimized an efficient procedure for dna extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. materials and methods: seventy three blocks of cervical paraffin-embedded tissues were investigated. dna was extracted using 45 minutes boiling in alkaline solutio...
