In this paper, a reversible data hiding scheme has been proposed which is based on correlation of subsample images. The proposed method modifies the blocks of subsampled image to prepare vacant positions for data embedding. The PSNR of the stego image produced by the proposed method is guaranteed to be above 47.5 dB, while the embedding capacity is at least, almost 6.5 times higher than that of...

We propose modifications of standard MSE and some other metrics related to it for estimation of visual quality of images filtered by different methods. The modified metrics are based on assumption that it is important for a human observer that details and edges in a filtered image are not smeared. We propose to apply a weighted version of MSE as follows. For image fragments where differences of...

background common carotid artery (cca) ultrasound with measurement of intima-media thickness (imt) is a safe and noninvasive technique for assessing subclinical atherosclerosis and determining cardiovascular risks. moreover, the pattern of wall thickening in the brachial artery (ba) is rather diffuse compared to the carotid artery and may be a more sensitive indicator of long-term systemic expo...

One of the most important performance metrics for evaluation and comparison of image or video codecs is the Rate/Distortion (R/D) where quality is measured in terms of PSNR (Peak Signal-toNoise Ratio). It is well known that PSNR does not always rank quality of an image or video sequence in the same way that a human being. There are many other factors considered by the human visual system and th...

This paper presents an evaluation for a wavelet-based digital watermarking technique used in estimating the quality of video sequences transmitted over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel in terms of a classical objective metric, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) without the need of the original video. In this method, a watermark is embedded into the Discrete Wavelet Transform ...

This paper presents use of bit truncation and voltage overscaling to reduce the power consumption of JPEG codecs. Both techniques introduce errors which have to be compensated to minimize quality degradation. To handle the errors due to bit truncation, we propose a compensation scheme based on unbiased estimation of the truncation noise. For 4-bit truncation, such a scheme achieves 23% power sa...

Image compression is to reduce irrelevance data and redundancy of the image data in order to be able to store or transmit data in an efficient form. Image compression scheme either be in lossy method or lossless method. Lossy algorithms are especially suitable for transmit images across the network with minor (sometimes imperceptible) loss of fidelity of information. In this work, propose MPC (...

Three-dimensional (3-D) subband/wavelet coding using a motion compensated temporal filter (MCTF) is emerging as a very effective structure for highly scalable video coding. Most previous work has used two-tap Haar filters for the temporal analysis/synthesis. To make better use of the temporal redundancies, we are proposing an MCTF scheme based on longer biorthogonal filters. We show a lifting b...

With some modifications, we adopt the coding/decoding method of image processing based on the direct and inverse fuzzy transforms defined in previous papers. By normalizing the values of its pixels, any image can be considered as a fuzzy matrix (relation) which is subdivided in submatrices (possibly square) called blocks. Each block is compressed with the formula of the discrete fuzzy transform...
