In this study, a novel binary image authentication scheme is proposed, which can be used to detect any alteration of the host image. In the proposed scheme, the watermark is embedded into a host image using a Hamming-code-based embedding algorithm. A performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme achieves both smaller distortion and lower false negative rates than the previous schemes. key...

Vegetarianism is an old classic eating behavior that leads to lessening of several health risk factors. Vegetarian diet is reported to improve control of blood glucose concentration, to lower insulin requirement and to aid in weight control in diabetic patients. However, there is no evidence for the prevalence of diabetes mellitus to be significantly lower in vegetarians than in non-vegetarians...

We introduce a new implementation of a three-input multiplier. This multiplier is capable of accepting three binary inputs, and producing the product, a*b*c. Although this implementation requires more space, it reduces the number of clock cycles required to multiply three numbers. In this paper, we present the front end 4-bit partial product array that can be incorporated into a typical multipl...

This paper proposes a new method to efficiently label connected components in binary images. There exist many methods for this but they all are complex enough to prohibit implementation for simple realtime applications such as robotics. The proposed method is very simple in terms of implementation complexity and extremely fast, at the cost of a small fraction of accuracy. This approach is best ...
