The Hong’s modified histogram shifting method is best method of reversible watermarking. But Hong’s modified histogram method is not suitable for cartoon images. Our improved backward histogram shifting method overcome drawback of Hong’s method. Generally PSNR decreases when embedding capacity increases. But our improved backward histogram shifting method gives more embedding capacity and high ...

The modified histogram shifting method proposed by Hong et. al.(2010) is best method of reversible watermarking[16]. The shifting of pixels are more in Hong et. al.(2010) method. Even Hong et. al.(2010) method of modified histogram shifting has less embedding capacity and do not provide enough quality for general purpose image. Our forward modified histogram shifting method overcomes all these ...

In Gradient Echo (GE) images, susceptibility artifact induces both intravoxel dephasing and pixel shifting (Fig. 2-a) leading to intensity and geometric distortions [1] that may disturb image analysis. In previous works, correction of GE images is assessed by modifying acquisition parameters or by using specific sequences [2]. All the proposed techniques always constrain the acquisition process...

Digital watermark is a technique used to protect the ownership of images and their associated software. A useful watermark scheme should be visually imperceptible and must be robust to resist various attacks: such as JPEG compression, pixel-shifting, cropping, blurring, etc. In this paper, we propose a public watermarking system to protect image processing software and images. We embed a binary...

The thesis study reveals that the position of bottleneck is a significant importance in supply chain process. The modern supply chain is characterized as having diverse products due to mass customization, dynamic production technology and ever changing customer demand. Usually customized supply chain process consists of an assemble to order (ATO) or make-to-order (MTO) type of operation. By con...
