In this work, a steganography technique using histogram shifting for JPEG2000 compressed images is proposed. Histogram of the wavelet coefficients of each wavelet subband is calculated and shifted to embed secret image data. This embedding is performed on the peak wavelet coefficients during wavelet decomposition process of JPEG2000 encoder using Lifting scheme. Optimal Pixel Adjustment Process...

We present a new 3D full-frame profilometer based on structured laser light projection method. This device takes advantage of the polarization states splitting technique for producing and shifting multiple sinusoidal Young’s interference patterns that are projected on the inspected surface. The principle of the technique is presented and we discuss the advantages of monochromatic light projecti...

We propose a new parametric macromodeling technique for complex electromagnetic (EM) systems described by scattering parameters, which are parameterized by multiple design variables such as layout or substrate feature. The proposed technique is based on an efficient and reliable combination of rational identification, a procedure to find scaling and frequency shifting system coefficients, and p...

The stego image quality produced by the histogram-shifting based reversible data hiding technique is high; however, it often suffers from lower embedding capacity compared to other types of reversible data hiding techniques. In2009, Tsai et al. solved this problembyexploiting the similarity of neighboringpixels vailable online 22 September 2010

In this paper, a model for hybrid transmission expansion planning (TEP) and reactive power planning (RPP) considering demand response (DR) model has been presented. In this study RPP considered by TEP for its effects on lines capacity and reduction of system expansion costs. On the other hand the expansion of the transmission system is an important subject, especially dealing with the new i...

We describe how spectrally-resolved white-light phase-shifting interference microscopy with a windowed 8-step algorithm can be used for rapid and accurate measurements of the thickness profile of transparent thin film layers with a wide range of thicknesses deposited upon patterned structures exhibiting steps and discontinuities. An advantage of this technique is that it can be implemented with...

The aim of this paper is to present results on digital processing of sounds by means of both dispersive delay lines and pitch-synchronous transforms in a unified framework. The background on frequency warping is detailed and applications of this technique are pointed out with reference to the existing literature. These include transient extraction, pitch shifting, harmonic detuning and auditory...

Novel acousto-optic processors for control and signal processing in phased-array antennas are presented. These processors can operate in both the antenna transmit and receive modes. An experimental acousto-optic processor is demonstrated in the laboratory. This optical technique replaces all the phase-shifting devices required in electronically controlled phased-array antennas.

The paper describes formant based speaker normalization method suitable for speech visualization and articulation training systems. The method estimates the error function obtained from speaker formant characteristics for a given vowel. Estimated error function gives information for critical band filter shifting on mel-warped frequency scale. The paper also describes accurate technique for form...
