Data transmission security has become an extremely important field of research. Steganography is an art of hiding information in image, audio and video files in a way that would meet the security requirements in the form of overt or covert. In this study, we propose a new hybrid steganography technique for color images that hide secret messages in the frequency domain of a cover image's blu...

At the high resolutions attainable with the new generation space-borne sensors, the focus moves increasingly from spectral characteristics to geometric features. This trend is even more evident for urban areas which tend to show an unpaired concentration of linear features with respect to any other land cover. This naturally applies to both optical and radar images, and suggests one may use loc...

introduction the increasing use of satellite remote sensing data for civilian use has proved to be the most cost-effective means of mapping and monitoring for environmental changes. satellite remote sensing has played a pivotal role in finding forest cover, vegetation type and land use changes in urban areas. one of the most complete of these methods is classification. the conventional per-pixe...

Previous efforts involving picture-based passwords have not focused on maintaining a measurably high level of entropy. Since password systems usually allow user selection of passwords, their true entropy remains unknown. A 23-participant study was performed in which picture and character-based passwords of equal strength were randomly assigned. Memorability was tested with up to one week betwee...
